So my friend Kristy is writing a comic very loosely based on a game she played in college. She has re-drawn some of the characters, but I know she just loves her little Issac (a midboss as she describes him). Well, Issac has a totally cool evil dad named Dimitri. Dimitri is a little miffed at how his son turned out…has turned to drinking…The scar on Dimitri’s face was an accident by Issac.

Anyway… So I convinced Kristy to wear her Issac outfit to Marmalade Dog where she was sitting behind her artist booth. We got there after they did, and Chris went up and distracted them while I walked up and shouted at Kristy/Issac “Is THAT my SON?!?” (out of a scene from her comic).  She fell off her chair into Dave sitting next to her. Mission Accomplished.

So the shirt and pants I bought from a resale shop, men’s wear. I took the collar and sleeves off of the shirt, and used the originals as patterns on the gray fabric (a twill) and re-used the cuffs from the original sleeves. The rest of the sleeves actually got attached to an old pair of gloves that I don’t like, with the red bias tape around the edges. The bib front is sewn on at the left and at the right it is actually snapped on under the buttons. The cape was made of 1 layer of the gray fabric and one layer of maroon broadcloth. I used maroon and gray bias tape sandwiched in between the two layers at the outside edge, then just pressed and stitched it down. It’s held onto the shoulders by giant snaps. When I’m not wearing the cape, I have another set of male snaps on the back of some cool celtic design buttons that cover the snaps and just look cool. The “boots” are a pair of gaiters that I copied from Chris’ F&I kit, but instead of using buttons, I shortened the sides to use grommets and lace them up with a gross grain ribbon. And the top part of the sleeves (what I didn’t use on the gloves) I bound the top edges with maroon bias tape and stuffed them into the tops of the gaiters so they would fold down like the tops of the boots. They were already big enough I didn’t need to make a closure or anything. I made the things to go over the shoes, (Yay Sculpy!)  they ended up too wide and broke (I glued them), but eh. It worked for the short amount of time before the glue on the velcro that kept them to the gaiters gave out… I really liked how the sculpy insignia on the cravat turned out (which was just tucked under the collar.
