This Jay Garrick is based off of the DC Comics Rebirth series. I liked the post modernism of the classic design but incorporating the military-esque jacket. This was then later seen in the CW Flash series and adapted.
Because the CW Flash adapted the jacket. I contacted Flesh and Hide and asked if they could make the outlined lightning bolt completely gold. Which they were more than happy to oblige! The helmet I ordered the CW replica. I decided to strip the vintage paintwork so I could repaint it. To my surprise, underneath had mirrored chrome! I originally made boots but eventually saved up and upgraded, adding my own EVA foam lightning bolts to them.
Whilst wearing this cosplay, I did get the privilege to meet John Wesley Shipp. Of whom paid me high praise. He explained that he wanted his Stargirl outfit to look more like mine. He admired the fact that he could view his own reflection in my helmet and genuinely made time for me.
Fun story about this cosplay; I get teased due to the irony of wearing this cosplay, when I arrived a week early to a Comic-Con. I made an ADHD blunder which coincided with being an early speedster!
