Jaime Lannister costume
I don't plan on getting to this one until sometime in October, but here's the rundown. I'm making a jacket/coat like the one Jaime wears in season 4 for my boyfriend. We bought some fabrics and notions: a light-weight ultrasuede, black broadcloth, and some burgundy cord. The only other thing I'll need (aside from a pattern) is some rings (which will easily be obtained at the hardware store) for the cord to fasten with. I'm going to create a pattern using one of the bf's shirts, lengthening it to be knee length and adding the cool side gores that are rounded at the top (same as the King's Landing dresses).
The original has a really cool textured fabric for the lining. I'm going to try and mimic this a bit by quilting the collar lining with a zig-zag stitch.
While there are a lot of really cool details on this costume, I'm not going to reproduce them all. This is more of a quick-and-dirty copy than anything. I am just too busy and too lazy to make another costume at the same level of intensity of the Tyrell gown, especially for something that will only be worn about twice. The bf has been nice enough to offer to help and I will be making him cut out the fabric (my least favourite part!). So that should help with the labour load. :)
