/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Sup seagulls.

So I finally started putting together a Frodo Baggins costume from Peter Jackson's LOTR movies, since it's probably one of my favorite trilogies of all time.

The various pieces are coming in the mail (yes I bought it all, come at me) so I can't show pics yet but here is what I have on the way:

1. tan/khaki colored muslin shirt with poofy sleeves
2. Brown cotton vest w/ open-top pockets and black metal buttons (I might try to get one with brass buttons eventually, but this vest was cheap for a starting outfit)
3.Brown (elastic) suspenders with metal clasps
4. Capri-length brown breeches
5. green wool cape w/ hood, fixed with Elven leaf pendant
6. white linen knapsack under cape for various stuffs (wallet, keys, ornate wooden pipe, etc.)
7. Reproduction of the one ring on a beaded chain around neck

And until I get my hobbit-feet slippers, my naturally hairy feet will do.

Any tips on how to improve it/make it more movie accurate? And I can't seem to confirm if Frodo wore black or brown breeches.

Also links to costume(s) pieces are appreciated on Ebay or Etsy and such.

What about a plastic version of the Sting sword?
