Here is me wearing my Redballs coat. I had it modified slightly. Had padding put in the shoulders to give them more form and had the cuffs opened and buttons added to make it more screen-accurate. It was a size small - which fit fine, but needed a little hemming to contour more to my body.
The hat was a standard dress top hat which I made the band myself. The gloves are purple latex (bought from a kinky sex shop supplier!)
The goggles are Dr. Peepers brand bought off Ebay. The paisley shirt is just the collar and cuffs that attach under the costume - the color and pattern is accurate to the movie - another ebay purchase, though I cannot recall the seller. The cane and brooch are also ebay finds. Not sure where to get the brooch from again, but it is highly accurate and cast in metal.
My wig was (you guessed it) an EBAY find - it's called a 'pageboy' wig, pretty standard, and with the hat and goggles, looks pretty natural.
As you can see, I pulled the look off quite well (and I don't mind tooting y own horn on that one!)
This was a real fun character to go out as - a LOT of female attention at the clubs and even the guys loved it too (fortunately, not in the same manner as the ladies!)
Hope this helps and inspires!

First off, GREAT job on the costume! You really pull it off well! :)

Second-
Where did you buy the paisley collar and cuff pieces?

I'm trying to put together a costume to put on a mannequin for a lifesized prop. :)

THANKS!

I don't know if it is too late to weigh in on this or not, but I did my own Version of Wonka for when I played him in a musical a summer ago, and I did my own coat and such. Basically I can make them if need be, as well as vests etc. My hat is an incredibly affordable custom job so if anyone needs one I can get you the info.

Youll notice that my Nose looks red, and thats because I had broken it and it was in its final stages of healing.
