Four costume opinions/advice
So I've had my Four costume for close to a year now and I'm thinking about what to do to upgrade it and make it better and how important it is to do so. So I thought I'd see if I could get some opinions and advice. Here's what the costume looks like now:
(LJ completely screwed me over on detail here. If you want to see better detail suggest a better place to put these pictures and I'll put them there)
I'm aware there are somethings missing. I do have jelly babies, sonic screwdriver, suspenders, etc., they just all happen to be down in Savannah at the moment which is four hours away, I will be stopping by there some point before D*Con though.
So, now I'd like people to point out what needs to be addressed/upgraded, how urgent the upgrade is, and/or how/where should I do it.
The one issue I am aware of and trying to work on is the hat. Right now I'm using and Indiana Jones hat since I have one available. I'm aware this doesn't work with the costume because I received complaints about it (down right insulted actually, killed my buzz for the rest of the day >:(. ) I've contacted Baron Hats like I know a lot of people have but that hat alone costs about 6 times the amount the entire costume cost. The whole thing altogether cost less than $70. Now I don't know about some people, but I honestly don't have that kind of money, and if I did I'd rather spend it on something like, um, food maybe? (I'm a college student, I need as much money as I can get) I've been checking on ebay for a while now and still haven't seen anything that really resembles it. What I have found is this version of the Indiana Jones hat here: http://www.themovieshop.com/Indiana-Jones-Authentic-Hat,Crushable-Wool-Felt-Fedora,Brown-IJ559, which has a 3" brim as apposed to the 2 1/2" that most of the hats have. Also, another hat I'm looking at is called a Zoot hat, which also has a 3" brim and only costs about $30 on ebay. Does anyone have any better suggestions.
I'd love to get your advice!
