So, my friends are inviting me to an anime convention. I personally haven't watched nearly as many anime's as them, but of the ones I have seen, I believe this guy is most fitting to my appearance/personality. But honestly, I have no idea where to find his clothes. I've been googling and amazon-searching all over, yet can't seem to find anything. I'm not exactly the biggest clothing-finder around, so maybe someone else can find stuff like them. Basically, what I need are as follows:

- His sweatshirt thing (1 button at the top; turtle-neckish; hidden(ish) zipper allowing it to be opened)
- Some of those ammo belts, preferably with fake ammunition cartridges.
- Vest with a sh*tload of pockets
- Guns, real guns with live ammunition! (But not really)

So, can I get a hand? The convention is in January, so I have a bit of time. But I'd really like to get a start on it and not be late.

Sweatshirt - second hand store
Ammo belts - toy store
Vest - Army surplus. You may find ammo belts there to.
Guns - HAHA GOOD LUCK.

Most halloween shops should be opening up soon, so you could raid those. Or, if you want my opinion, I'd just get nerf guns and instead of ammo belts get the dart belts that Nerf sells. I think it'd be funny, but you know. I don't think cosplay is supposed to be fun. :|

I was speaking more specifics. I believe I found the ammo belts and vest on amazon. I wasn't really being serious about the guns, I don't plan on taking any kind of guns, real or fake, to the convention. (I don't think they're even allowed) I just really need a sweatshirt that matches the ones in the pictures.

You should aim for the regular hirano pre zombie apocalypse and then get the Nailgun. I think the modified Nailgun is what really counts.

I'd probably have to make it myself. Can't have a real nail-gun. :\

Point is I personally think that Hirano with the Nailgun is more um... I think the word is titular? whatever.

That vest looks like something you can get from a Naruto Cosplayer since well, it looks like some Naruto shit than something an millitary guy would use. Theirs a lot of slots for long tube like things. Unless that millitary guy is holding a ton of flares or knives I'd say they look like places to put your kunais and senbons. Hirano is a narutard ;_;

Well, I'd like to, but I really need to find a sweatshirt like his. Otherwise I'll have to fall back on the weapon-crazed version.

Thing is, I don't know how to make a sweater. :| Even if I can find a sweater that's close to that in appearance would be okay, I can just sew on a button.
