Whoa...Narukami, could you like adopt me as your long lost son and make me cool gear like that?! I'd have been thrilled with a costume like what when I was a kid! I thought my Red Baron and Indiana Jones costumes were pretty hotel sierra back then...Nice job!
yeah, the sword needs work, though
How many people actually understood what he was dressed up as?
I ended up going "augustan" (trying on my maille, coolus and 2-belts for the firs time, sorry no pictures), and stood at the end of the driveway "on guard" - One parent approaching from behind me thought "is that a fireman or something?!" I guess the wide coolus helmet (it's an early gen. deepeeka Coolus F...Need to trim down the neck guard), sorta-kinda-looked like a fireman's helmet...I guess...But when he saw me a little better in what little light there was he said "Oops, no, something else...Like a Knight or something"
Yeah...Knight...I still get that...So'kay, I let it go for the evening
