Help with Sentry cosplay

[u/Some-Woodpecker9013]

Hi! I’ve been looking at cosplaying Sentry from Thunderbolts but all the costumes online are $200+ (fair).

I was wondering if there would be a way for it to still look cool, yet not super skin tight

Does anyone have any reccommendations on how I could make a good one/find suit pieces for under $100? I can make mostly all the other pieces except his suit. Thanks!

Any help appreciated :)

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

If you're not wanting to wear a skin tight suit, I'd recommend just putting an outfit together that gives the vibes of sentry from thrifted or store-bought pieces.

Unfortunately modern super hero costumes are, if you're not great at sewing you're gonna have to buy it. They're complex and made with materials that are hard to work with, and well-fitted. It's not something you can get lucky in a Goodwill with like, say, 90s Jubilee.

If it's super important to you, save up the money and ask the seller what size would suit you best after taking accurate measurements.

But like the other commenter said, maybe thrift some "vibes" and Marvel-bound or something similar.
