This update has been a long time coming. For Halloween 2013 I transformed myself into an over the top Vegas style version of Cap'n Crunch.

With an outfit like this I'll surely be promoted to Admiral in no time!
My feather festooned hat.
Detail of the sash across the front of the hat.
Detail of the epaulette.
The beaded fringe on these were hand strung by me, because I never have enough to do.

Detailed photo showing the soutache motifs.
There was four pairs of this motif down the front of the jacket, one on each sleeve, each tail and the back of the neck. The fabric is an epic blue sequinned material that I found in the garment district. I love it because it looks like crashing ocean waves, perfect for an old sea dog like The Cap'n.

I made doubly sure to include a total of four stripes to avoid the Cap'n/Commander controversy that the Quaker Oats company recently faced.
