but serious... there are tons of really talented ren fair clothing people and also online stores that sell this stuff. And there are tons of hacks that just resale crap from overseas.
I think you guys underestimate how much it would cost to make a leather jacket out of actual real leather with that amount of detail. It would probably require maybe 3 deerskin hides @ $99 each. Then you need to find someone with the knowledge of how to make the jacket and work with leather (which is far more difficult than most cloths) and have the machines required to stitch the leather so it doesn't look like garbage. The only thing on Etsy that seems comparable is this custom made deerskin overshirt (obviously less detail than the jacket) and it costs $900.

Just use thisArtisan Made Leather Bustier Western Style Halter Top by dleatherand add some sleeves!
the buckles and large strap-style-stitched on detached arm style is true to the "era" for the reasons Tenks said- and keeping with that style also lowers the resources and "skill" needed to pull it off.. to make a shirt- as posted would cost a lot, with the full pattern and modern day style stitching that works with leather etc. but to reproduce the jacket posted there are many places catering to ren fest people and are at renfests etc. that make this crap all the time.
like here
Jerkins
find a jerkin you want, email them tell them you want sleeves, get a quote- send them money, buy appropriate color blond hair dye for S1,2,3 etc Jamie and boom - enjoy! *for added effect cut own hand off!
Hell I bet that place or similar send them that pic- they will send you back a quote for a reproduction.

None of those Jerkins jackets are at the level of Jaime's jacket though. Maybe this one, but even it is a bit too nerdlinger.
The sleeves are so bulky and the extended shoulders are hella lame. Jaime's jacket would be perfectly acceptable in modern fashion. I would prefer the sleeves to be stitched on and the straps are a little much, but I would wear the fuck outta that jacket. The collar isn't over the top and it's nice and form-fitting.
These are the side bars that Brutul bitches about.

Damn for a site to exist like this people must go hard-on when it comes to Ren Faire
That is my concern. For that site to exist I have to imagine some people think wearing shit like that on the common is acceptable
I don't see anything wrong or surprising for someone to wanna drop a few hundred on their Ren Faire outfits.
Yeah I get it that it's their hobby. I just didn't know it was popular enough for a site like that to exist.

That's an astute observation. You justreallybe a doctor.
You can still talk about spoilers, but if they have not aired or been in a published book yet, use spoiler tags. Unlike in the non spoiler thread, where even the use of spoiler tags is prohibited for 'book' or 'unaired' info.
