Construction Notes: I based the design of the costume on one of the illustrations of flying leathers from one of the books. I found this fabric back around Easter of 2004 at a Hancocks in another city (I was visiting my grandmother). I didn't buy it, because I figured my Hancock Fabrics at home would have it. Of course they didn't. Well I was back at my grandmother's in July of 2004, and lo and behold they still had that fabric! So I bought it. It looks a bit green in pictures, but it was a nice, brown pebbley faux-skin looking vinyl - I really liked how it looks, I just wish it wouldn't catch the flash of the camera and look shiney. Anyway, I used the Civil War pattern I had just used for my Imperial Officer. The pants are pretty simple - drawstring waist. The jacket velcros shut. I wore a little white shirt underneath this and was glad I did - it was SO hot. I bought the fur and trimmed the jacket, belt, gauntlets, and boot covers in it. The gauntlets and boot covers I made. I bought all the leather ties that tie all those pieces closed. The boots I had and dyed a darker shade. The belt I made - I bought the metal hooks that go around it and tied them on with the leather bits. The goggles I bought and covered in the fabric. The wig and gloves I had.
