hawkie, let me see how can i help you.

I'm always in trouble with fabric names x_x and translators and dictionaries are no good for that -_- oh well. I'll try to explain in the most graphic way possible.

ehm... there are like... tons of versions of his uniform. Which one exactly do you want do cosplay as?

[Hawkeye]

Thrust a Russian site to have the best image.....

[Rach]

well, for the red pants and jaquet, i'd say a fabric that here is called Oxford (i know, it IS funny. I wonder if there's a fabric called Cambridge...), and for the coat, another one named brim. Since i don't have a slight idea of what would that be in your place, i'm searching for pictures with those fabrics

my king cosplay is 100% oxford, except the white smoking shirt.

and for my ran cosplay, the white kimono is oxford as well

this fabric is light, cheap and it's very easy to cose. at least here is very common on fabric stores.

well, now, for the coat.

This is the Brim fabric i told ya. The best one for this kind of coat would be a heavy type of this fabric. Pretty similar to this coat here, on this King of Bandits Jing cosplay

Coats like that are very Dick Tracy like, but i just love'em.

I used the same on my hakama (Ran), but since it's black, it's no good to see on photos.

For the thing behind your head, it looks like part of the coat, please correct me if i'm wrong (well, i've never seen the anime before), you could use a type of liner that fits inside the fabric. Here is called 'intertela' (inner frame).

Now, for the boots, try finding those heavy boots for rainy days, and then get some white fabric (for boots, it would be nice to have something
synthetic like (fake leather or stuff like that) or check those stores that you buy second hand stuff. If you find leather boots (like camping boots), it's pretty easy to paint it white. You'll have to paint it for 3 or 4 hands if the original color is black. But before doing that, ask the vendor the best product to remove the original color, so that you can paint over the leather itself, otherwise the paint won't look good. And after that, pass a hand of wax on it. It will look good.


well, sorry for not helping much ._.' i wish i had the right terms for that, y'know...

Arr Yes had a quick look at Oxford cloth on Wiki, have a look into that.... but you got any tips for someone who can't sew for the love of God.... Don't ask all I can sew is patchs onto jackets or onto my Rucksack......
(Only my Grandmother can sew with a machine, but she lives half the year here in the UK, and half downunder and she goes back within a month)

well, now, for the coat.

I might have a look at buying one.... there are tons of Charity shop here in the UK. Love what you can fine....

No idea myself...... it looks like a fan..... might be a prop, only watched the OVA. Trying to order the series and watch it fully....

Looking at it.... the best type of boots might be wellingtons, and paint them white and attach those side to them with some patchs of leather. Wax? Brilliant!!!!

well, sorry for not helping much ._.' i wish i had the right terms for that, y'know...

No No No Thank you Rach you given me pleanty to think about....

[Rach]

Yay, i'm glad that this could help at least a little! well, if you can't sew, can you find someone near you who can do it for you?

[Analog]

@Rach: Maybe the Bleach one and i have a 28 inch waist i dont think my bust is very big though XD
