Description

All parts of this cosplay are made from scratch!

The clothes are based on traditional Japanese patterns from FolkWear (and another pattern company for the white undershirt) and are all modified heavily to get that baggy, hip-hop look from the show.

The earrings are clippons which I am still working with as they dont have cushions to soften the pinching on my earlobes.

The geta are made by FeawenNorthwood (our Fuu).
There does not exist a size 15 or 16 (in U.S. Mens) geta (Yes my feet are huge and our Fuu says my geta look like sushi plates).
Also, the teeth on Mugen's geta are set up in different spots than traditional geta are.
There was absolutely no way to buy a pair and I refused to wear anything but geta with this cosplay, no matter how uncomfortable they are.

Despite having my earlobes go cold after a few hours of wearing the earrings and my feet feeling like I cant walk any further... Mugen is a really fun cosplay and I dont plan on retiring him.
Although we wont be nearly as fun to cosplay if I dont have our Fuu or Jin.

I still need the sword (which is why the cosplay is shown as 95%).
