I don't have anything to add beyond the fact that I would love to see folks dressed as this version of Willy Wonka. I loved that movie as a kid, and still do.
I'm sure you've seen these, but high rez reference from google image search:
Willy wonka image by Blu-news2 on Photobucket
I don't get it ... is the picture not showing up properly?

Shylaah, thanks for all of that content! I remember all of the research and work you put into the Jack coats back on KTTC (I haven't visited that place in ages!) but it sure was impressive, so thanks for that little bit.
I thought I would interject that His vest is made from a metallic floral Brocade, when I did this costume a while back I used a tiny floral broadcloth that I pinstriped with metallic gold thread that achieved the look almost perfectly. As far as the Hat goes, I wouldn't go with a wool top hat personally, just because all the ones on the market are those obnoxious coachmen hats that haven't got the correct brim. I suggest e-mailing the proprieter at www.tophatlady.com, as she provided mine and it was screen accurate to a T.
