First costume, made with the help of a friend. I picked Sasuke to cosplay because....I still like him even though he's a jerkface. And his outfit is fairly simple except for the collar but we put plastic in mine so it doesn't sag. In fact it pokes me in the face, and I can do "the turtle" with it.

At AX 05 where I first wore it I had no wig and used my real hair and looked lame. Now I have an uberwig that works and I wore to PMX 05.

This costume has been poked and edited and switched around a lot. The shoes were a huge deal and really hard to get right, going through about three different versions, but I'm finally happy with them. Blue felt covers over sandals from Payless, hot glued and velcroed down (although they don't come off anymore). I used to have a kunai holder made of felt but now it's a purchased one from a set of random Naruto props that works better. I still don't have the back pouch. The most annoying thing about this costume is the ridiculous amount of athletic tape I go through.
