About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
Since this series has a basis in history, I tried to go with materials that at least look like what might have been available in 1906. That said, I definitely went with lighter weights of fabric than the real thing would have been, since I'm mostly wearing this in southern California, not Hokkaido!
I made almost everything from scratch, except for the boots (purchased, removed some straps), the white shirt (modified the collar), the belt (bought a pre-cut blank but stained it myself), and the scarf (added the stripes). This was my first time making a hat of any kind.
The ammo pouches, bayonet, and its sheath are all EVA foam. I'll probably end up making his rifle out of foam as well. - Personal Thoughts:
- I adore this series, and I'm excited to have finally finished a cosplay from it! Sugimoto is also an excuse to make the dumbest worst faces possible, so that's another reason this cosplay has been really enjoyable to wear so far.

- Styling Notes
- Does it really count as "styling" if I made it messier on purpose?!
