So, I want to cosplay John from Homestuck:

Where do I find those shoes? They look like TOMs, but is it possible to find them in that color in a men's 10?

I'm searching for a fabric like this one.

I'd like to see some links to places you can buy cloaks or capes. I need one, but am absolutely TERRIBLE at sewing, or fabric craft of any kind.

I cannot for the life of me find pants for Miguel: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/phot...6-1246-708.jpg

The one in red... I've found some crappy breeches that have elastic in the cuffs, but I can't find a good pair of pants that even looks remotely like his. Can ANYONE help me? I can't sew, so making them isn't really an option

[Siffy]

Any suggestions on where to get gems/crystals? I'm thinking specifically for TP Zelda, but crystals in general would be good.

[o01101011]

For TP I would suggest looking for chandelier crystals and blue glass paint. You can find them on ebay a lot.

Does anyone know where I might find fake animal fangs (bear, sabre tooth, wolf size would be great?)

To be used as coat toggles, as well as boot and belt embellishments?

Here's a request I posted in another forum- it was suggested I post here first, so here it is!

-An olive double-breasted suit (like http://www.mensitaly.com/products.aspx?id=11153... not sure about how I would tackle the pants? I'm not even sure what they're called) The red shirt and tie are probably the easiest items to procure.

-A brown load-bearing vest, or webbing? Although I have a feeling I won't have a lot of luck searching for one that looks like the one depicted. Or maybe it's not quite a load-bearing vest/webbing (it actually does look a little more like a few belts in the Egrets' case). It looks like I'd need two prop stick grenades on top of that.

-A unique-looking helmet and a gas mask. I think the helmet itself is probably the most difficult part for me (being time-constrained and not having much skill when it comes to crafting). I know I can probably find a gas mask at an army surplus store (and I think there are a few guides when it comes to lighting up the eye lens). If I could find a helmet that is shaped similarly to the one in the artwork, maybe I'd be able to work off of it and add the little Umbrella decal and Pickelhaube-like point on the top somehow on my own.

-Red armband with the little umbrella logo. I think this shouldn't be too difficult to procure in one way or another even despite my complete lack of crafting skills.

-Grey/Black/Charcoal gloves. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll probably have to decide on the texture/material/thickness/etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up until now, I've pretty much put together my last two costumes (Phoenix Wright and Roy Mustang) by buying a suit/uniform close to the design and making subtle changes on my own (mostly just buying in the case of Mustang), and it didn't hurt that both get-ups were fairly simple.

I feel like the entire suit part of a Black Egret would essentially be the same as my Phoenix Wright costume's process (buy an appropriately-colored suit/shirt/tie, get it fitted better, etc.), but the concept of putting together the impressive-looking helmet is what sort of intimidates me the most. I've never had an amazing amount of free time (or skill) to do any crafting of my own, but having a tailor friend is what let me get away with putting together Phoenix and Roy. Crafting a helmet from scratch is probably not possible in my situation, but I figured if there was some kind of base model I could work off of, I might be able to think of something.

I'm not looking to be 100% exactly accurate, but would anybody be able to point me in the right direction especially in regards to the helmet/mask and webbing? I guess it doesn't help that this particular "character" isn't very well-known, hahah.

In the meantime I've been looking (without luck) and will keep going.

Same here.

I need a cloak/mantle like this one: http://www.xl-shop.com/xlshop/produc...AYLEIGH_01.jpg

Does anyone know a good site to buy coats like this?
I would try to sew it ... but i'm just not experienced enough to do it.

[DeAnna Designs]

This is a great cape. I can make it out of faux micro-suede for $200. If you would like it to be distress dyed so it looks worn that's an extra $50. You will not be dissappointed with the quality!!

Does anyone know a good site to purchase gloves? I am looking for gloves like the one the wrestler Kane wears.

[Blackbeard87]

Does anyone know where to get some rings? I am cosplaying as Blackbeard from One pIece and I need to find the rings with big gems

[Umbamabumba]

Does anybody know where I can find a 1/2 inch cotton rope, I keep coming across cotton rope that is 1/4th inch or lower but never 1/2.
