Johnny's Entertainment was one of my longer running fandoms and NEWS was the
first group I got into. I love with their TEPPEN outfits, and Tegoshi was my favorite member of
the group, and this was the result of that. Although there are aspects of the costume that I
don't particularily like the way I made them, overall, I think it turned out pretty well.
The two shirts were poorly made. Luckily, most of the crappy parts are
hidden by the jacket and the scarf. I think the black one was made out of a polyester and the
orange one was made out of twill. The white parts on the black shirt were painted on using
fabric paint.
For the first time ever, I used a pattern to make something: the pants. I'm an
incompetent retard who can't seem to pick out the right size pattern, because I ended up making
them way too big. At that point, I didn't have the time or patience to do some major modifying,
so I just used a belt to keep them from falling.
The jacket was made out of polyester. I'm really happy with the way it came
out. The bottom of it was coated in this fray-stopping liquid. (I didn't know how else to stop it
from fraying after I cut the jagged edges.) The scarf was made out of leftover orange material
and this really nice soft white cotton (I think it was cotton at least...). I'm not terribly fond
with the way that came out. It's really uncomfortable to wear and it's not totally accurate. The
glove thingy was made out of white scraps. It's literaly just a strip of material wrapped around
my hand.
Dying the wig drove me up the wall, but I like the way it turned out. I was
trying a new method of dying, so it took a lot longer than I expected. It aslo lost a lot of its
smoothness which kinda pissed me off, but whatever. The haircut isn't all that accurate for the
time period he wears this particular costume, but I was going to use it for another Tegoshi
cosplay.
