For my bank heist costume I payed the following :
Blazer/Pants - $4 at Goodwill
Shirt that needs to be dyed - $3 at Goodwill
Shoes - Wait for screen accurate shoes, $20 dress shoes I already had
Bag - Like $30 shipped
Gloves - Free from an internet friend
Mask - Depending on what mask you want....Mine was $170, but I sold it, as I think I prefer make-up.
Total cost = About $230. (But now it's down to about $60, as I sold the mask)
And here's my nurses costume, which needs a belt and trim added still. Its a button down one, it should have a zipper, but I couldn't find a scource in the US for a zipper with pink trim. :
Dress - Around $40
Tag - Around $10
Watch - Around $20
Light Pen - A few dollars
Belt -Arpox $20
Shoes - Aprox $15-$20
Socks - $20+
Trim to add - $4
Total Cost - About $140 or so after shipping,etc.
About the suit, it's not cheap. :lol I've tried dyeing many pants, but it just takes on perfect find to get them right. Some pants have synthetic pin stripes,etc. And they just might not come out the way you want them. I just pick up all the light colored pin stripe pants I find at Goodwill. (Many pants dyed to bring you this information. :lol ) I don't know what I've spent on my suit, but I want my V2.0 to be a deffinite version. I'm looking at spending around $500 USD or so to finish it.
I still need a new coat, good pair of pants, and suspenders. (And socks from Tabio if I decide to get them). The pants I'm hoping I'll get from the Goodwill to dye. Like I said above, it's worth trying out evry chance for $2 a peice. :lol I know what coat I want as well, but I've not looked into pricing, so depending on the price of that, I'll know my ACTUAL spending ammount for it all. :lol
EDIT -
For my V1.0 suit here's what I have in it :
Shirt - Hot Topic Shirt $30
Pants - Goodwill pants/pants I already had...About $10 (a couple pair)
Vest - $40 for fabric + my mum's time to sew it
Tie - $30 Stafford Tie from JCPenny. At the time it was the best non-screenprinted tie available.
Blazer - couple bucks from Goodwill, lapel isn't correct,etc. but it was was best available. And cheap too,lol.
Gloves - $30 white leather gloves from amazon. ($25 gift certificate used.)
Coat - $70 Hot Topic Tripp coat. Same as the above, the best at the time, it's not lined, and IMO, a great buy for the price.
Shoes - $20 Dress shoes I use for the Bank Hesit costume, which I already had.
Socks - 20+ from the UK, same as Nurse Socks.
Chain - Free from sister
Here's what it looked like as of the end of September or so. :
Total - Around $260 or so before gas money.
For my V2.0 I've got :
Shirt - Kwally fabric $100? I don't know...4 yards of it,lol.
Tie - Indy Magnoli $60 (Yet to be purchased, need to realy bad.)
Pants - Haven't found any yet...
Suspenders - The diamond ones all the cool kids have...$40 or so.
Coat - I know what coat I want...No price avaialble, but I know what I want, lol. It's screen accurate is what I mean.
Shoes - Hushpuppie shoes that need to be weathered. Size 15's are hard to come by, so its these or bust. Got 'em from a friend.
Chain - Menards chain, just a couple dollars.
V2.0 Upgrades total - About $500-$600.
And if a V3 was demanded by evryone, I'd consider the following.
:
Gloves - I'd like to have some darker ones, or at least some that show up darker in pictures. There's a diffrence in person/on film. Mabey V3.
Socks - Tabio socks if I decide I need them that bad. V3.0? Aprox. $30.
Vest - Proboly keep my old vest unless I find a screen accurate one...Mabey a V3 will come around
Blazer - Proboly keep this as well, if V3 happens I'll get it.
EDIT 2 - If I ever get that suit done, I wouldn't mind starting on the Police unifrom. :lol
