For quite a while I've been working on a Jack Sparrow costume for my boyfriend. It's turning out really well, but I'm finding two pieces very difficult to make or buy cheap: the pirate boots and the leather hat.
The leather doesn't really need to be excellent quality, as it is after all just a costume (and I'm going to have to ruff them up quite a bit), but the boots should be of ok quality and comfortable to walk in. So: does anybody know a place where I could get costume boots made? And aprox how much do you think it will cost me?
The "original" boots cost 400 USD, and you can see them here: http://caboots.zoovy.com/c=cnoPuQWQ...SJSPAR/CUSTOM_CAPTAIN_JACK_SPARROW_BOOTS.html
I'm guessing a leather tricorn is going to be harder to find/get made: but it looks like this: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/05_02/pirateDM2505_468x456.jpg
And yes: I'm interested in customs belt (and baldric..hehe) as well. I have got those items, but feel they could be better. I'm turning into such a perfectionist on this project. It really is disturbing!
