Cosplay/Drag - Jack Sparrow

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.
