Mr. Chang Cosplay

[FinalShadows]

So fanime is in about a week and I wanted to cosplay as Mr. Chang from Black Lagoon. Problem is that I dont know where to get all the cosplaying stuff from and I'm short on time. What should I do? Any help or suggestions? Thank you ;D.

Btw... My name is Peter, and ill be at Fanime for sure with cosplay or no cosplay ;P

Ermmm...you are kinda late w/ the costume. A reference pic would be awsome to have. ^_^

[FinalShadows]

Here you go, or I think its from one of the Episodes from Black Lagoon o_o;

[AngelKawaii]

Uhhuh...rent a tux or something a get a coat and buy a scarfe and glasses. Those items are easily obtained via mall, friends, or dads. ^_^

[FinalShadows]

Problem is that I'll have a hard time trying to find a place to rent it, let alone getting to a mall to buy the stuff.. I was thinking perhaps buying it online would be the best, but I dont know where to look x__x

Should I just give up my idea?

[AngelKawaii]

Ordering something right now would be a bad idea. It takes things about a week or two to get to your home via snail mail. Your best bet is a friend or a dad or a dad of a friend that will let you borrow stuff since you can't go to the mall.

[FinalShadows]

my dad doesnt have anything like that, and lets say its kind of hard to reach parents at the moment <---------UCR student ;P

ADDED: Any other things I can choose? o_O?

[AngelKawaii]

Ooo...I c...um..the mall. >.>...Don't order online. It will take forever to get to you, unless you order express shiping, but that will cost a lot.

[FinalShadows]

Ehh... That will be a problem x__X........ anyone near Riverside want to go with me? xD

[AngelKawaii]

I would but I live wayyyyyyyy too far away. xD

[FinalShadows]

Awww..... I feel so screwed... want to lend me one at fanime? ;D

[AngelKawaii]

Ermm...i am a girl...so since I never needed a tux I do not own one. O.o

[FinalShadows]

Perhaps another cosplay ? o_O

[AngelKawaii]

I only have 2 with me this year. xD Sorry.

[FinalShadows]

Then I lost all hope for cosplaying >__<. Ok i'll see you overthere....

Surely you have a Goodwill somewhere near you!  I would be certain that they would have it.  His costume is quite simple, and you could surely get it in time.  I hope you're able to make it!  You have about a week left, buddy!

do not panic I just remembered that you have ption 3.

Here's what you do:
1.Find a pic of characters that wear everyday like clothing. (eg: Keitaro from Love Hina.)
2. You raid you closet and see what you can find.
3.Put stuff together.
4.Vola! You have a cosplay. ^_^

[FinalShadows]

Its not the only pressure I have besides finding the cosplay. I have school and exams to study for too... so getting my cosplay ready is pretty hard without help x__x

As I said..raid your cleset. Best place to find last minute items for a cosplay. xD

[FinalShadows]

Only thing I got fanime last year was that kung fu costume, but its not an actual cosplay... so raiding the closet is pointless.

Plus you're talking about a guy's closet... we dont have anything besides weapons and swords o_o
