Barbarian

This costume was built for a friend of a friend when I was out of work. I was able to go from start to finish in 3 days. This costume and the devil costume are quite similar in construction. I used a cheap Darth Vader helmet from the dollar store covered with cheap black velvet, made a face plate from gold fabric, brass tacks and a plastic table pad. A leather jacket from a second hand store was cut up and wrapped over more plastic table pads, brass tacked, cut to shape and used to make the body harness pieces. A foam and  shiny black fabric shirt was stitched with the muscle pattern and the pants were what I call clown pants....very loose gathered at the waist and using a fabric off the cheap rack at the fabric store that had a dark 'evil' look to it. Elevator shoes, a cape of 'evil' fabric and some leather gloves from the second hand store with some gauntlets attached finish it off nicely.
