Cyberpunk Costume

This is one of the more complicated costumes that I've made in my life. It was basically a matter of slapping together several different elements in a way that I thought clicked the best. Basically the costume consists of an underlayer of A) 1 pair of black Dockers, B) One black longsleeve shirt, C) a pair of black socks, and D) My Lonewolf Boots (which I bought at Biggs a few years ago). On top of this ensemble I placed several lines of Duck Tape. Then I added a few lines of red electrical tape. Using both of these kinds of tape I put a few lines of yellow CAUTION tape.

One of the additional elements that I wanted to include in the costume was that of electrical wire. First, I made separately was an overshirt made of electrical wires and electrical tape. The front consisted of three bundles of three wires, bound in the center of each bundle and connecting to the collar and bottom of the shirt. The sleeves were four wires leading from a ring off of an epaulette which attached to the collar, and both sleeves had a ring at the elbow, and a ring at the wrist. The back consisted of three thick black wires which led from the collar to the ring around the waist. To the pants I had to add a cord for the belt (they were too heavy to stand alone), and for that I used a broken electronic radio plug. Also, to the pants I added a line of white Coaxial cable, with a band around the knee and a band around the ankle.

After all of the above elements had been put on, I hung some chains from my belt loops. I felt that they looked a little too lonely there, and I went to Furrow's and bought two different sizes of chains. To just hang from my pants, would lead to a terrible predicament (if you know what I mean), So I draped them both over my shoulders and hung them from my pants.
