So, I'm being Axel for Halloween and an upcoming Cosplay Convention early next year!

I've finished the Chakrams (I know they suck!), and the wig (no picture available, sorry), and now I must do the cloak.

Does anyone know the best way and materials to make an Organization XIII cloak???

Hmm... materials I'm not sure about.

I know money is a scarce resource, but the cosplay vendor I stumbled upon was on Ebay. I'd suggest using that site.

I found a link for one that's $81 with shipping. (Still a little pricey, but I payed over $100 for mine, so all in all not too bad a deal.)

Hope that helps. Never worked up the time/effort/tailoring abilities to make one from scratch, so materials and the like are out of my league.

Well, you can order it, if you want to wait... but if you're short on time come Halloween. Garbage bags. They're inexpensive, you have them around your house and then all you need is zippers. Oh... and you won't be boiling when you're wearing it, that may be handy depending on where you live.

But for the con... I've got no idea.

Garbage bags may not work. It's REALLY cold at night where I live. *shivers* I actually solved my own problem. I got a really cheap cloak at Goodwill, and now I've been hemming it so that it's sight like Axel's and then I'll add a zipper.

Good luck with making the arms of the cloak, that Axel's a skinny one he is.

lolz. Yeah. It's turning out not to be that hard. It might be easier because I'm pretty tall, though. I'm not as skinny as he is but I'm not a chubby chick either.
