My son is getting ready to go to PortCon, an anime/gaming convention in July. This is the first time he will be cosplaying, and he didn't pick an easy one. This is the character he is going as:
Damon Gant, the chief of police from the game Phoenix Wright. We're doing pretty well pulling all the pieces together. So far we have:
1. White cosplay wig on its way from Japan,
2. White linen suit jacket (have to get orange dye and cross our fingers),
3. Dark pink sunglasses,
4. Red silk kerchief,
5. Dress shoes and socks,
6. And a couple of collared golf shirts to wear under the suit jacket (he'll be there a couple days, nuff said).
Now we need to:
1. Dye the suit jacket,
2. Find pants to match or go with the jacket,
3. Get custom buttons made (hello, Etsy!)
4. Make the black cuff bands and breast pocket trim.
5. Get black gloves,
6. Funniest of all, get a white weave piece for my son's beard!
7. Style the white cosplay wig (wish me luck, I'll need it!).
Thank goodness we have until July. I'll be posting lots of photos once the cosplay costume is done.
