So I found a donor Jacket at the local Goodwill for $5 (as well as some $1 shirts for a lucky Xmarker). Following the spectacular advise and photos of our intrepid DIYers, I have completed mine in time for Christmas. Mine had slash pockets so I utilised them, opened them up and trimed the bottom of the pocket for more useful storage. Wood buttons on the sleeves and I think I'll add some eppilettes later.
MacDanar said all I was missing was some sheep and a staff.
I got lucky with a matching cap.
Here's the back: I know, it needs to be pressed.
The sides so you see the curve.
Other side. Note the wooden buttons.
Good grief, I need to spend more time in the gym and less on my ***.
