dude - the bad guy on Dexter dressed up as an S&M Viking.
It totally worked for me.

bracers:
first the piece of pleather cut to a shape that will roll around my arm. my forearm is 14" at the top and 9 at the wrist, so i cut it to 16 and 11 so i would have an overlap area. then fold the front edge back, and hem with gold thread once done, I stuck brass furniture nails through to give it studs, and set up the velcro closure

on the first one I used sparkly embroidery floss, but that was SUCH a pain in the ass I switched to regular gold button thread. here's the first one up close:
and finished: now the vest. I bought a brown dress shirt one size too small at goodwill for $3.50. cut the sleeves and collar off, ...and laid it on my 'fur' to cut the shape. I got the fur at JoAnn fabric for $20.

here's half on half off:
now both sides are on: I have a ratty looking piece that will drape over my shoulders to cover that part of the shirt you can still see. I had to put belt loops into the vest to hold my belt up. i just cut slices in each side, tucked a strip of fur into them and sewed the ends onto the inside of the shirt: the shoulder drape thing snaps on at the back of the collar:

the boot covers are simple, just squares with snaps to hold them on, and an elastic strap at the ankle:
on my leg:

now, I need some kind of kilt, i think
but here's most of it: I'll have to do a neater job with the braids, but I dig the look. you can just see my gold arm ring. thats gold cloth wrapped around some wire. that will need adjusting, and maybe a twin for the other arm.....
