Is there someone that could give me advice on making a certain cosplay?

I want to make a cosplay of a certian character, but I need advice on how to make his jacket. The jacket is a relatively simple design, I just don't know what would be the most cost-effective way to make it.

I have tried that a lot and haven't gotten very good results. So I am wanting to ask someone with that I could communicate with. If you know somewhere I could do that that would also be helpful. @SW-User

@DrakeoMagister Get a simple pattern and use a good but cheaper fabric - not hard

@SW-User that is good advice, but I wanted to have it be well made enough where I could actually make it part of my wardrobe.

@DrakeoMagister It's up to you how well made it is - tailoring/sewing. Use a lining

@SW-User ok, what exactly do you mean by a lining? What does a lining do?

SW-User

@DrakeoMagister It ups the quality of the jacket

@SW-User ok, so does it make it to where it is less likely to fall apart?

SW-User

@DrakeoMagister No but makes it better quality
The stiching will be what makes it not fall apart

@SW-User oh ok, then I guess that I will do reasearch on how to do better stitching. Thanks for your advice on this.
