Does anybody know where you can get some really exclusive costumes? I'd like to dress up as a aristocrat from france or a french soldier or something. A captain on a ship like in Master and Commander would be cool too. Pic related. If I could have a uniform like that I would kill somebody for it. You know we have a thing called Karneval here in Germany where everybody dresses up and shit.

as long as your budget is into five figures, and you dont mind flying to LA for fittings, this is your best bet. the people i know that work there make some really dope stuff.

Holy shit, they have some unique stuff on there. But no costumes really.

>6616063

Holy shit nigga, holy shit. If I was rich I would go there right now. Check out that uniform on the right. Bitches would have orgasms just looking at that.

Not exactly what you're looking for but they have some pretty cool edwardian stuff. Silk morningrobes etc.

I don't even think it's legal to wear a Coldstream Guards uniform without being in the regiment.

geos are three dimensional objects. without the lasts or someone who could reverse engineer the last you won't end up with the same shape.

plus, it will cost you as much or more than retail to have them custom made assuming you can find anyone willing and able to make the outsoles.

yeah i know there's no reason to actually do it but it's kind of an amusing concept
would it be easy to make convincing fakes if you somehow heisted the last from rick

you'd still have the challenge of producing the outsoles and nailing the proportions of the upper.

>anyone willing and able to make the outsoles.

not a problem, there is a massive amount of places that do rubber/resin/polymer molding and casting in LA. Mainly for film industry but they could easily create the outsoles of rick shoes down to the 1/20th millimeter if your budget is high enough.

basically if you throw enough money at a project like that, you can make it work.

my point is just that rick's shoes cost what they do for a reason and you wouldn't be able to make an accurate copy without paying as much or more.

the shoes have been worn over 1,500 times, and that is not hyperbole

idk about on these shoes, but zipper pulls come off shit all the time. the little hook that holds the pull onto the actual zipper probably loosened.

My geos are quickly decomposing; I noticed a dull grey blight spreading outward over the leather from the seams.
Sometimes I'll step in a puddle and the shoe will get really hot for five minutes or so, until a small chunk of the sole crumbles away in a puff of dust.
