Hi everyone, so many amazing costumes! You are all amazing
I wonder if I could ask if anyone has any decent res costume references for the Wiseman. My boyfriend has decided to join our SP group for Supanova - and he hasn't left us a lot of time!! :rolleyes
I'd be grateful for anything anyone can offer, and good luck with your costumes!!

I would be your man. I'm going to be the Wiseman at Expo in October.
First thing you need to decide is which version you want?
Kimono, WW1, Flight Suit or Futuristic?
I went for WW1 because it was all accessible on ebay
Hat: Cheviot WW1 or WW2 officers cap/hat ---- Ebay has loads shop about
Badge: His hat badge is an off the shelf Welsh regiment badge. Search ebay for "the welsh" hat pin/badge (see below)
Trenchcoat: any long OD green or drab trenchcoat will do I was lucky to get a BUrberry like he wears for under £70 from the U.S
Shirt and Tie are standard just look for a greenish shirt and dark green tie.
Tunic: Any WW1 reinactment tunic will do, it's mainly covered anyway
Sam Browne belt and holster: These are optional but finish it off nicely, check ebay for "Sam Browne Belt" my Holster is a webley from my Indy costume and is genuine WW1 issued.
Breeches WW1 or WW2 Officers breeches, make your own I did
Boots Equestrian riding boots knee length are best.
Rifle: His Rifle is a Springfield with telescopic scope but any similar gun will do (be careful though I can't get my into most events)
Below are some reference image from my collection of over 1000 SP images.
Good luck
