for more information on the costume.

[_Elwood_]

yup, im doin the same thing.

lol.

but if u guys had any info on a place to get the fedoras and Rayban Wayfarers, id appreciate it.

its kinda hard to find em cheap, since theyre kinda pricey on most sites, but if you guys had any places that r good, id appreciate it.

(i heard party tree is good for some stuff, but im thinkin it might be too cheaply made there. i also heard goodwill is good for some of this stuff. any suggestions?)

I got my fedora at a vintage clothing store, costume store kinda place called "Talk of the Town" in Reading, Ohio (This only helps if you are near there, lol) along with 2 pairs of glasses. I paid $35 for the had and $2 for the glasses.
As far as the suits, I got a nice three buttoned one brand new for $110 at a local department store, and the one I still have and got before that I put together from a secondhand clothing store.
I had to go to a costume store to get a skinny black tie, so this may be easy with halloween time.
White shirt, socks, shoes, anywhere that sells clothes, lol. Unless you are looking for the exact shoes Elwood and Jake wore, that's a different story....

I've got the same shoes as Elwood wore in the movies. I'm in a proud of them because this kind of shoes is a classic in fact and it is almost impossible to find such fashion of the shoes in any of the shops. all the shops have only new style shoes. actually, there is a very good chance for russian members if they wanna buy shoes like Elwood's. here is what they can do: cops and military officers in Russia wear classic old fasioned shoes with their parade uniform. so, one can go to the military shop and buy a pair of 'em. I have civillian shoes, I bought them in 2000 and it was the last pair in the shop. I'm trying to preserve them as hard as I can so, I'm planning to go and buy a cop pair to wear daily. they should cost about 600-700 roubles (?10-12:))

and a question to UK members: are there any places in Birmingham where I can get classic old fashioned shoes? thanks:)

HumanBiped, and what did you mean saying about a different story of getting bb shoes?
