The cape was fairly easy to do, but the knot around the neck had to be sewn in, other than that, I already had the boots, shirt, and pants. And for my sheer love for the movie, I wanted to do it.

Update:
This costume got a HUGE fix-up in 2007. The collar was the most that was fixed. I still consider the costume as a work in progress; this is not finished until I have a mutated or mechanical arm!!
