![]() The process was pretty straight forward. While Posty's actual suit was more of a western cut Nudie Cohn, I didn't have the money to get something more accurate or custom made as much as I'd like to. So I settled on a regular blue suit off of Amazon and painted it accordingly. Unfortunately the color of the suit did not match the listing photos so the color isn't quite right but it is what it is. I bought some of the supplies at Joann's but since they are going out of business it seems pointless to link you to their site. Michael's also carries Tulip fabric paint, I use the soft matte. I have had a lot of success with it not cracking. I couldn't find the actual brand of silver paint I used for the barbed wire, but Tulip has one that looks pretty similar. I did this in a little bit of a rush, knocked it out over 3 or 4 evenings after work. It looks pretty good but I do think I can do better next time. Wig - Custom $200
