So here's my Haymitch
The shirt is an old Tuxedo shirt I had. I originally tried to spray it with purple fabric paint from Michael's, but the can was half empty when I bought it, and didn't cover the entire shirt. SO, I took the paint back, and bought some purple dye. Unfortunately, the colour bled into the collar which I had masked off when I was spraying the shirt. So, back to Michael's (3rd trip that day) to buy some white fabric paint to fix the collar.
The colour of the shirt isn't even, but fortunately, 95% of it is covered by a waistcoat, tie and jacket.
The waistcoat is actually one I made years ago for a Firefly Fan Film I was involved with. Seemed appropriate for Haymitch.
The watch chain and fob I bought at Michael's. I sprayed them with brass spray paint, and painted in the red circle, clear coated it, and sewed it onto the waistcoat. The chain and fob aren't 100% screen accurate, but I'm chalking it up to "Close enough". I'd have used my actual pocket watch for this, but I didn't make the waistcoat with pockets.
I bought the wig on sale for $30. It was originally past my shoulders in length, but I hacked it up, mussed it and sprayed it. I think it captures that Haymitch look. (I had left it longer on my initial cut, but my friend said I looked like a scary, stern drag king).
The jacket I've had for probably 15 years, and seemed closest to what he wears in the film. In the Haymitch picture I poseted above, the suit almost looks bluish or purplish, but I think that's just a trick of the light, as in the movie it looked more black.
Now, I just need a handkerchief for my jacket pocket
