Post Malone - Blue Suit

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

• Why so expensive? It is lace front and was custom made for me by a theatre wig master in San Diego. She has made all my Posty wigs and my Sweeney Todd. 

Shirt - Amazon $19.99
Suit - Amazon $69.99
Belt - Already owned
Shoes - Amazon $59.99

• I considered stoning a cheaper pair of shoes but time and cost wise it was cheaper to buy these instead and they look really good. I do think I'll stone the heel at some point

Fabric Paint- Amazon $8.99

• Yellow
• Brown
• Black
• White
• Silver 

Rhinestones- 

• Applicator - I already owned this but this is what it looks like
• Big ones- These are cheapos from Joann's for around $8 and I don't think they look as good but stoning can get expensive. I do wish I bought nicer ones. 
• Hot Fix- Amazon $12.99 
  • Crystal
  • Topaz
  • Citrine

Upgrades-
I plan on adding a lot more stones, I do not consider this look finished, but I wanted it base line done so I could use it and will add more later. 

Total $441.89
