Thread: Joker Trench Coat Help

Tweet

Ok, so next Halloween, I'm going as the Joker. Now to start the costume process, I'm looking for the trench coat. I figure 2 ways to do this, get one online, or buy a white one and dye it purple. Does any one know how I can do either one? Also I want to know how much time it would take if I had to dye it.

I had a seamstress make me one , cost me $40 bucks plus cost of material and buttons. I've dyed stuff before , it's pretty simple . Just make sure what your dyeing will absorb color . You might need to double the dye to get a deep color.
Good luck !!

Thanks I might try to get a whiye one and dye it if I cant find a purple one

I don't know what you budget is or the level of accuracy you want (if you are doing a movie joker), but here is one option for buying a Dark Knight Joker coat.

Thanks, I've seen Magnolia's version, and theirs is probably the best on the market, but I found a pretty accurate one at http://cosplaysky.com/batman-dark-kn...e-cosplay.html

You could get a cheap coat from a thrift store and sew some fabric that matches the color you want over it. It would work and shouldn't cost much. just make sure you don't get a real thick coat and thick fabric or it's gonna be hot and heavy.
