Star Lord Part 1 – How to Make a Star Lord Costume Jacket

This is the 2nd part of how to make a Star Lord costume (though it’s the first actual part of Star Lord himself), to follow last week’s infinity orb tutorial.

How to Make a Star Lord Costume Jacket

MATERIALS NEEDED:
2nd hand fake leather jacket
1 ft of fake leather
2 black straps (or fabric scraps to use as straps)
2 buckles or D rings
Paper fasteners or round studs
Red paint
Brown paint
Dark brown paint
Slate blue t shirt
A pair of black pants (with as many pockets as possible)
2 small pieces of 5 mm craft foam
Hot glue gun
Metallic silver paint

This is mainly for the distressed jacket (the pants and shirt were mostly completed, I just added a few details). It’s pretty easy to distress the Star Lord jacket with a few different colors of paint and some intentionally “sloppy” light painting. I did the short jacket here, since that’s what Star Lord wore more in the movie, but if you wanted the long version, you could alter it by sewing a rectangle of fake leather material onto the bottom of your jacket and distressing it the same way.

The fake leather pieces I used here were some left over material from my Anakin costume, and that material can be found in JoAnn fabrics. That’s also where I got the studs, but if you can’t find any, you can always just use paper fasteners, and paint them with a little bronze or grungy gold paint to make them look more distressed.
