Captain Martin Crieff

 This may have been one of the simpler costumes to put together and the least recognized but I think it was my favorite. For the uninitiated  this costume is from a BBC Radio 4 comedy called Cabin Pressure.  It is wonderfully funny and well written. I'm hoping next year I may have a few of the other characters to cosplay with. I didn't get to wear this one for long but I do plan on bringing it back for next years Dragon*Con.

 Most of this costume, the jacket, shirt and tie, came from the thrift store. I added the captains stripes to the sleeves. The hat was a great find on etsy, it's from WWII.  I tracked the blue ribbon on and found the pin on clearence at Michaels. The pants are from my phantom costume.The bear polar was the first Snowy for my Tintin costume but was never used.

Some of these pictures are from home when the costume hadn't been finished. I also had with me the aviator glasses and a Toblarone but I don't have any pictures of me with those items in hand.
