I started by drawing out what I wanted to build.
I then looked for a maker who could make it for me.

I found a maker on Etsy that makes double breasted suits.
I used photoshop to show the maker how to modify her design to my preferences.
It took about 3 weeks to make and a week to ship to me.
I was pretty impressed by the quality of the work.
They followed my instructions perfectly.
The suit uniform was well-structured and made with fine materials.
I had a hard time finding the triangle bits for his lapels.
I found these buttons on Etsy.
I added pin backs to them. I glued the pin backs down with JB Weld.

Love it! Thanks for posting the details of you build here! The FB pages are great but it’s a lot easier to find build here on the forums.

Here’s a side by side comparison of the Trick or Treat Studios helmet and the Modern Icons helmet.
I think the Trick or Treat Studio looks better and has a more accurate shape. The Modern Icons helmet looks more oversized.

I took Cobra Commander out for the first time at Emerald City Comic Con.
It was so fun to talk to people with the voice.
