Personally, I don't need help, I just wanted to offer my help to anyone who needs it smile In the set of Sticky threads on the Cosplay board, there wasn't really a good place to put this, so I decided to stick it here. sweatdrop
I've made a good amount of kimonos and hakama (the pants that are usually worn over kimono- pleated in the front and back, wide-legged, probably seen on most any traditionally-dressed samurai), so if anyone needs help with those, I'm game!
I've also worked with vinyl, polyester (my dreaded arch-enemy!), cotton, and all kinds of other fabric. If you all have any sewing questions, and I can answer them, I'd be happy to do so! smile
I'm also working on a website of cosplay sewing guides. When I finish enough of it that I don't feel embarrassed to post it here, I will biggrin

Komori-Chan: I don't have any pictures online yet, except the picture of my first pair of hakama, which I accidentally pleated backwards... sweatdrop I make mine so that they look almost like what a traditional samurai would have worn... Except- do you know how samurai's hakama have a very large triangle of open space on the side where you can see their shirt? I made the open triangle on mine smaller so that I don't have to worry about my kimono that goes under it pulling itself out of the hakama. About your question- there are many types of coats to go with Japanese clothing... Since you said "Not the vest type" I'm guessing it's probably not the taiko happi coat or kataginu (If it's not anything I mentioned, try googling those!)... Try googling these for pictures (if the descriptions don't narrow it down) and tell me which one is what you need help with: -Haori (short, waist or hip-length overcoat with long kimono-style sleeves) -Hanten (short, usually thigh-length overcoat with close-fitting sleeves) -Happi (mid-length, waist or hip-length overcoat with close-fitting sleeves) -Michiyuki (mid-length, hip-length overcoat with long kimono-style sleeves, and buttons down the front) -Uchikake (long, trailing overcoat with long kimono-style sleeves)
XxCrusnik05xX: I'm personally not very good with armor or props, since I have devoted almost all of my costuming time to clothing. I do, however, have a link to a site which should help you with them: http://amethyst-angel.com/armormaking_chris.html The woman that makes all those pieces of armor and props is amazing! I'm pretty sure this page should help you, since it shows how she made pauldrons for that outfit... Read this page too, since it shows her drafting a pattern for pauldrons and has a link to another page about how to go about making them: http://amethyst-angel.com/armormaking_patterns.html
Have at thee! biggrin

Whee~ Thank you for your help. ^^;
jyrotika Except- do you know how samurai's hakama have a very large triangle of open space on the side where you can see their shirt? I made the open triangle on mine smaller so that I don't have to worry about my kimono that goes under it pulling itself out of the hakama. That sounds like a good idea to me. I don't really even know the basics of making hakama, but the space seems to be a little smaller anyway in the reference picture...
jyrotika About your question- there are many types of coats to go with Japanese clothing...

Well, now. .__o I think I've googled all those before, but I just realised how weird it exactly is. What I'm talking about seems to be some sort of a mix of michiyuki and kataginu. Confusing much?
The best online reference so far
.... or more like a michiyuki without buttons and with slashed sleeves. ._.
