[Torg] Costume advice?

[Michael Jason Teegarden]

Yep, the idea is indeed to go Puritan.
However ... a competing idea is to stick within budget.  That "money" thing can be as important as that "realism" thing.  :)

I would definitely go with boots or old-fashioned buckle shoes. As for pants, try finding some slacks or other 'straight pants'. The idea is to go with the Puritan-style look, right?

Hey, all,

I am attempting a Gaunt Man costume for this year's Hallowe'en.  I have the following items earmarked as necessary components.  I am wondering if anyone has any ideas to modify this.  :)

1.  black top hat [purchase]
2.  black waistcoat [purchase]
3.  black pants (black denim jeans, my own)
4.  black shoes (short boot-style tennis shoes, my own)
5.  black metal cane with animal head, mouth open (wolf head, not dragon head; my own)
6.  TORG 20-sided die (blue and red swirl; my own) [this goes in the cane's mouth]
7.  cream makeup (black, green, and white) plus sponges [purchase]

I can't locate a dragon's head cane, so I'm having to make-do with the wolf's head.  My in-character rationale, should any ask (as some of my campaign's players may) is that the Carredon is dead and I've found a new champion (hint, hint, cough*Kurst*cough).  I couldn't find a swirly small, round "eternity shard" so I figure a TORG die will do the job.  :)

I'm not sure what else to do beyond this.  The clothing is quite black, just about all the same shade.  I am not sure what sort of Puritan-style or Victorian-style touches to put on it.  I don't think the top hat is exactly right for ol' GMs hat, but I don't have anything closer.  Most of these items I am obtaining from Spirit (the online Halloween store).  I do have a bit of a budget constraint.  :P
