The original costume, found here, was in need of some updates! 

Tunic- Amazon $27.25

• Dye - $5
• I had been using a tunic I already owned for ren faires, but it wasn't the right color or design. I finally got around to buying a new one. I couldn't find one that was the right color so I bought a white one and dyed it. I used a Tan Rit dye.
• This item runs VERY BIG. I got a L/XL and this thing was a Scrooge nightgown! Size Down!!! 
  
  

Wig- 20 inch dreads -Amazon $19.99

• This wig has gotten a lot of action and was very beat up. I spent about two weeks re-dreading the preexisting locks. I then added some premade locks to change up the color and give it more body. 
• I used Got2B Glued hair spray and steam in the process of re-dreading. Got2B Glued spike gel to seal the ends. Provided are Amazon links, they are much cheaper at Walmart or Target. 
• Steamer example- This is a portable steamer I bought to steam dresses for photoshoots with. I do not recall how much I paid for it. But the example is pretty close. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made when it comes to costumes. If you want to look like a polished cosplayer, iron or steam your outfit before wearing it. 
  ​

Rings- Amazon $25

• These were a little pricey for what they are. But buying individual ring replicas would have been more expensive over all. And the quality is pretty solid. 

Compass- Amazon $25

• I plan on painting this and making it more worn looking. But it also looked great as is.  
  ​
  

Future updates planned:

Boot Cuffs - Joann's $9/yard

• I bit off more than I could chew when it comes to upgrade right before FanX. I had bought about 2.5/3 yards of faux brown leather to make boot cuffs. Those will have to wait.  
  ​

Jacket embellishments-

• In the future I plan to add the embellishments and buttons onto the jacket.

Total spent on upgrades: $201.25

Yikes, quite a hefty upgrade. I spent less than that making the original version. Woof! But dang it looks good. 

Pirate Jacket - Amazon $39.99

• Bought a 3XL. I originally got an XL because the measurements should have lined up. What they don't tell you is despite having "button clasp" listed, this jacket doesn't close. It's mean to be open like the picture. So the XL ended up looking super silly. I returned it and got a 3XL which looks a lot better. 

Wig - This is my Rob Zombie wig, so I already owned it.

• Amazon $33.99
• This wig took a lot of work to look like Rob's dreads. It comes as tightttt curls and VERY full. I cut a lot of the strands off the wig and teased the rest.  

Head and waist wrap- Amazon $14.99

• The head wrap was alright. The waist wrap however isn't hemmed. Its cut right off the bolt. Very cheap thin fabric. The only thing that made this worth buying is saving the time not having to find and hem fabric. 

Hair Beads - Amazon $21.90

• Personally I think this was way too expensive for a wad of random beads that don't really match Jack's beads at all. But time was a factor so I ate the cost to save on time. But finding beads would be rather expensive, you'd have to buy packs of each bead and use one or two from each pack which is a bit of a waste. So over all it is what it is. 

Beard - Crape wool

• This is a material I already owned. I bought mine at an FX shop in Hollywood a few years ago.
• You can find some here Amazon $9.95
• Crape wool is easy to use but messy as fuck. You'll use a steamer or a tea kettle to steam the wool straight since it comes in a braid. You can use it straight from the strand but I recommend using a hackle to thin the hair out. You can also use the hackle to mix other colors in and color match to your own hair or a wig. This is a hackle.
• Using spirit gum, or your adhesive of choice, layer by layer place a thin strip of hair to your face, working your way up in layers from the bottom of your chin up to your face. 
• I then braided the strands and tied them with rubber bands. 

Doubloons - Amazon $8.99

• ​These I gave out to audience members 
  

Boots - Already owned
Belts - Thrift store $25 

• I can't believe how expensive thrift store belts are.

Under jacket/vest- Thrift store $8

• I plan making a new vest to replace this one. But this works for now. 
• I did cut the sleeves off to make the outfit cooler to wear. 

Total : $152.86
