I had three planned out, but after an ongoing family emergency I'll be lucky to have Richter alone finished in time.

Regarding accessories like gauntlets, boots, and belts, is there a particularly affordable source of premade leather/faux-leather items that still look decent?
Or should I be looking to make my own from basic patterns and eat the cost of raw leather-like materials for the sake of control over the end product?

Finding gauntlets in particular is worrying me. Belts are common and can be altered, and boots can be faked with homemade covers, but gloves seem a lot more involved.
