Looks like you had a blast and certainly made the evening more special for the audience! Great to see their smiles! I'm glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for sharing the pics!!
 
Reposting, I accidentaly put this in the wrong thread before.

This guy kept this outfit on throughout the concert. I would have died. When you fanboy this hard, you get your picture posted. Check out the leopard shoes. The only upgrade he needed were some black leathers and he could be in the band.

Original Thread: My humble beginnings on a dual cosplay of Adam Ant, then and now. Just because I am easily distracted (currently losing weight for my Will Turner cosplay but costume is complete). I will open this can of worms with the hopes of drawing in the other rabidly obsessed to help with the dual build of an extremely eclectic rock star.

My inspiration pics are as follows.... then....

You are awesome. Your cosplay is brilliant x
 
I can't believe I haven't seen these posts sooner, I had to make an account to tell you how AWESOME your outfit is, i'm obsessed.
Thank you very much blueblackhussar antwarrior71 . Still a long way to go, so hopefully we can keep bringing the goods. My hopefuls, currently, are the 80's belt buckles. I am trying to get up the courage to get back into 3d design so I can put up some printables here for my fellow Ant fans. If you come across any source materials feel free to add them here. Some of my links to items are short lived and are sometimes available and sometimes not. That makes it really important to type out the details on how you found it. Sometimes the how will lead to a new source the second time around. If you see me skip a step on a build and want to know how on that step, let me know. I am trying to make sure it is repeatable for anyone reading it.
 
You looked great. Found this today greenmachines and I immediately thought of you.



Now I need to boot everyone out of the room so I can watch this documentary with full sound. This covers nearly his entire life story in short order. I'll post again when I can absorb this. Hopefully will have some good stand and deliver stuff soon. Adam had his mental battles, mine are 100 percent serving size related.
 
I trimmed the height. Next step is heat adhesive to bond the inner to the outer. I am going to dremel sand the tops and then buff them to a rounded bonding edge before the final leather paint on the fresh edge. The remainder of the boot's exterior will get a full shoe shine treatment, smoothing damaged areas, staining waxing and buffing. These will be more rigid than Adam's but are worthy for pics and poses. I will darken all areas to black, including the stitching areas and lower sole plates. Here is cut down but without all the finishing:

And, I just found my dog's long lost pig squeaky chew toy...


So, I was checking out the video that goldcylon posted and I saw my picture of my boots a couple posts up from that and again saw the pig in the picture, under the table in the background. Months after I posted it the first time. I can affirm that I got up just now and retrieved the squeaky pig toy. I squeezed it one time and I hear a snort but not from the pig. My dog is now in the room and sees that I have found his pig and is letting me know he wants it. I tossed it to him. He sniffed it once and took it back to his bed. I haven't heard from either since then, he is now sleeping with his pig.
 
I am looking for some decent boots. Adam is a huge inspiration in the way I dress.( In fact reading his autobiography changed my life)I have gone from t shirt and jeans to full on dandy. I try to get the aesthetic right then add my own twist.

I think that your Adam Ant cosplay was the best I've seen anywhere:cool::cool::love::love::notworthy::notworthy:...but the cherry on the cake was your likeness to Adam's face that was uncanny(y)(y)(y)(y)

The resemblance is uncanny. I am low key obsessed with the outfit you are wearing

I am trying to get some good links for other boot sources as mine were customized to match but ONLY because I could not wait for shipping times. I have two good sources for these and will post when I get into my favorites today. These are hussar boots but there are several brands that claim to be but these are Russian ethnic dance boots, not riding boots. mine are riding boots.

Thank you. That would be great

Our convo about the stage boots for the 2016 Performance outfit starts with one post on March 12th and jumps to April 20th.

The ethnic dance boots that look to be a direct match to Adam's are RusClothing brand but I am looking for the other site so you can compare. just remember that my final boots came from a local equestrian store and are standard English style men's riding boots that I modified.

RusClothing calls theirs Cossack Dance boots but don't think all Cossack boots are the same. I can only say RusClothing Cossack boots look like a match

well, poop, the other site I had saved is closed, was an Etsy seller. So just this RusClothing. they have their own site but also sell through Amazon. the only bad ratings are for very long waits after ordering.

But it is all about the look so just remember low toe, not a ball toe and not extended. Refer back to the picture here of Adam's stage boots.
