#Regis Cosplay

[rallamajoop]

PAX Australia and a long-neglected Regis-cosplay

Anyone who's been following me for longer than a year or two may remember that back in 2021, I started posting about this cosplay I was working on of Regis, from The Witcher's Blood and Wine DLC (or, more accurately, a femme version thereof, since pulling off a middle-aged man with Peter Cushing's hairline is beyond any hopes of crosplay). The plan was to wear the costume to PAX at Melbourne that year ‒ assuming all went well and the event wasn't cancelled for covid reasons, which, of course, it was. So I had an unfinished costume sitting around my wardrobe for the next far too long.

2022 came around, but none of my friends were interested in going to PAX that year, so I sat it out. But this year, I said what the hell, and booked a flight.

Current plan is probably just to wear the costume for the Saturday (conventions are tiring, and it does not come with the most comfortable shoes). Regis is obscure enough that I'll probably be doing well if anyone even recognises me, but if anyone from here in the wilds of tumblr is going, please don't hesitate to say hi if you see me ‒ odds are pretty good I am going to be the only femme!Regis around.

I don't have any good photos of the whole costume handy, but have a pics of the finished bag (with the original for comparison). Building this thing was a joint project, but the real credit for this thing goes to @emilyksmithcomics, who brought all the real leather-working experitise, and without whom it would never have been possible. The gold embellishments are all her work too.

While I'm sharing photos, here's how the finished belt turned out too, starting with some refs for comparison.

VOLO’S OUTFIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD. And here is why I think so...

To begin, we are not talking about the Ginko guild design, we are talking about the “final boss” fit. We all know that Volo’s outfit is dumb, but I’m mad because it  was actually thought out and VERY symbolic in the sense that it essentially represented things Volo said/wanted.

I, like everyone else looked at this outfit and went “wow, that is dumb” and then hated on it.  Although it is not the most appealing or cool outfit, there was actually a lot of thought that went into it. I could be really over analyzing this, but here is my interpretation.

To begin with, the concept art is a lot more revealing about the intention of the design then the actual game play.  On a surface level we see Volo in what I can only assume is a Arceus gijinka cosplay.  So the hair, the stars, and color scheme are all elements of Arceu’s  design.  Cool. Good job especially since Volo had in fact never seen Arceus before.

To fully understand this outfit we have to go back to Hisui and the remains of this so called “ancient civilization”. In the Pokemon world, there is this general idea that the ancient culture was either Roman or Greek inspired. We see evidence in Legends of Arceus by the obvious column heavy architecture and use of Greek Doric columns ( one of the earliest styles of columns used for temples) and in the ruins and temple. 

The Temple of Sinnoh is obviously based off of the Parthenon. It’s funny because game freak went as far as to even mimic both Ionic and Doric styles in the Temple of Sinnoh just like the Parthenon. I will go as far to add that the Sinnoh temple is much simpler than the Parthenon due to the fact that it was not embellished with an elaborately carved frieze or any decoration on the exterior for the most part.  Bizarre when even the broken ruins have evidence of some sort of ornamentation. It makes complete sense why the game developers chose this style seeing how is is know for being very simplistic.  But it also dates it in context.  It makes the Temple of Sinnoh the first temple that was build and the others that followed were build as the civilization grew ( thus more elaborate but we can only see the crumbled remains).

I will be ignoring the Snowpoint temple because it is a weird combination of styles and almost seems alien and out of place which very much fits the Regi theme.  It is also based on the early game design which was limited and blocky for game space sake.

Ok, heavy Greek and Roman influence. Back to Volo and his obviously Greek and Roman fit.  Volo’s name itself means “I wish”  in latin and could possibly be a reference to the phrase “volō, ergo sum” (I wish, therefore I am). Very in character since it is the wish for more” and he did everything he could to achieve that.

The actual influence for the design is more Roman in nature. This bothered me because we can see that research and thought went into it, but they just simplified it. And this actually has a point.

To begin with the obvious stuff, we see that volo’s shirt is definitely toga like. It even goes so far to be decorated with a Fibula (brooch)in a way that indicates a higher rank or status.  Cool Volo, we get that you think highly of yourself. Color choice is also same as Arceus, but we also know that white togas were also used by senators and high political officers.

Next , the shoes.  These are just the basic stereotypical Spirit Halloween Greek god/goddess type of sandals you can get at your local costume shop.  This was actually the most disappointing part of the outfit for me. But it makes sense they went with the most simplified and recognizable style.  They wanted us to look at this outfit and go “ Wow, Volo has been studying his myths and recreated an outfit”. This is what you could expect someone to create with just a written description of the clothing used during that time.

The necklace is interesting because it stands out so much compared to the gold colors. I am no sure what they were going for here by making it so prominent, but it brings us to an interesting thought.  If they necklace does have meaning, it is related directly to the design/shape.  The waterdrop could be the Greek symbolism for "tears of grace” or in a sense “gods grace”. The idea that the tears of god water the harvest and provide life. Alternate interpretations could simply be water as a source of life, or a symbol or sadness a mourning.  If it is a symbol of of mourning, this might be a clue to why Volo might desire to rewrite the world so much.

Last but not least, the pants. I think we can all decide this is one of the worst parts of the outfit, and to me it is just straight up confusing for two main reasons.  For starters, the color green is so prominent when green is an accent color on Arceus.  So maybe the color has meaning itself.  But if you look at the image above, the color mainly refers to life and “the harvest” (possibly like the necklace).  It has a weird connections to life and creation itself, which probably is why it was included in Arceus’ design and makes sense as Volo essentially wants to become the creator of life in a new world.

But this isn’t the part that gets me the most. The second thing that confuses me is the fact that the Greeks and Romans did not use pants.  This was because pants were associated with non-Roman/Greek cultures (the Germanic tribes and Vikings) who they looked down upon. On top of that, the Greeks thought pants were feminine and silly.  This could also just simply be a design choice because they didn’t wanna draw Volo in a full toga and accidently make him look like Christ. But this leads to my final point of the physical outfit itself.

VOLO’S OUTFIT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. IT’S SUPPOSED TO LOOK DORKY AND BAD BECAUSE IT WAS FLAWED! This is based on the real world cultures it was based on. And although Volo may have done a lot of research, he still didn’t completely understand ancient culture.  It’s bad because Volo made it himself. His outfit was flawed just like his ideology. It is his own interpretation of a culture that he had idolized without truly understanding that this great and ancient culture crumbled. And based off of the architecture of the ruins and temples, it never even reached a prime before it fell.

But Volo thinks its correct/cool/accurate. He is being a fool about it because he didn’t understand the bigger picture and had become consumed with this desire for power and control.  This as an idea is really cool and I find it funny that you can also wear the outfit. Its essentially mocking him. If we look at the outfit in this light, the design was a success in getting us to dislike it and evoke this distaste. We didn’t know why, but this is why.

SO IN SUMMARY, OUTFIT WAS BAD ON PURPOSE. It wasn’t thoughtless, in fact there was a lot of research behind it and yet that seems to be thrown out to simplify the design in a way that looks like someone hand made it based off of what they had put together themselves.

But this isn’t my favorite part  of the concept art.  My favorite part is the hands.

Look at his hands. Why are they in those positions? Wouldn’t it have been easier to create more standard poses?  To me the hand gestures here are just too specific. So I started digging around for what they could be on a Art history level.  I looked at Non Christian art first and then Christian symbolism within their mosaics, illuminated manuscripts, and paintings. And I found some verrrry interesting similarities.  I am not trying to make this religious. I just found some interesting similarities between old Christian art and Volo’s design.  Which makes sense if we go back to this Greek/Roman influence because these cultures eventually converted to Christianity.  And Arceus is kind of a weird goat god Jesus.

The left hand is where the biggest symbolism is.  Basically, this hand gesture has been used to indicate “the hand of god” or the “hand of justice”.  Christ sometimes is draw with a similar hand position and could be a sign of the cross, but this would also refer to some sort of divinity.  I will also note that Volo is in no way making the classic “blessing” hand gesture.

As for the right hand he is making what I assume is a Greek/Roman orator (speaker) gesture. This would mean that Volo is calling for attention. Note, that I didn't’ compare this to prophets. That’s because orators speak for themselves and prophets for god.  And Volo thinks he is god.

Under this context, in the concept art Volo is essentially saying “I am God”.  If we add the symbolism of his outfit, it only further solidifies this idea.  Volo’s outfit/concept comes together and screams “behold, I am god , the hand of justice. I will be the creator or the new world”. Which is so freaking clever because that’s literally what he tells you. 

Sure his hands are switched and lowered compared to actual real world art examples (thank you Game freak for not throwing in actual religious symbols/gestures), but I think the intention is still there.  It’s so good that I am mad.  So as much as I hate this dumb outfit, I cannot deny that it was well thought out, that the character was well thought out.

To conclude, these are my assumptions. I am not an expert on art history or religion.  If you have further insights on this feel free to share. I’d be interested with what others had to add.  I the end this could all be wrong and just crazy for overthinking the designs of a pokemon character, but it just seems too intentional to be carelessly thrown together. This is just one possible interpretation.

Though its just more evidence in my mind that a lot of love and care went into developing Legends of Arceus. Despite their limitations and resources.

I'm doing a tag game!

What are your 3 historical gaming moment?

Anything related to videogames: be it achieving the highest score in the arcade, defeating that final boss after 100 tries, winning a PS5 in a raffle, getting a photo or autograph of a VA, cosplaying a videogame character... anything!

Then tag 5 people (minimum) and let's reminisce. Spread some positivity!

🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Here are my 3 personal best (in no particular order)

1.Tekken 3

The first time I truly enjoyed playing a fighting game (I still hate playing PvP in fighting games cuz an actual human is way better at it than me) was when I finally approached a real Tekken pro. A big arcade opened up in my city and I was the only girl who went there every weekend and buy 30 tokens (Php 90.00) to feed the various machines. I saw this tall college dude play King and I was mesmerized watching him pull all of Kings grapples. After several months, I watched him from behind, playing Tekken 3 until I muster up the courage to ask him how he pulled off all his moves. The college dud pulled a piece of paper and pen and began to write down all of Kings' combos and grabs, and gave it to me! Since then I have practiced on every Tekken 3 machine, pulled off all Kings' impressive grapples to a growing audience who couldn't believe their eyes that this little highschool girl is playing Tekken 3 and beating it! Oh and I became good at the games that I reduced my 30 tokens to 5.

2. Resident Evil 2 (PS1)

This game came with the console my mom gave me. First time I popped the disc in and chose Leon S Kennedy on normal mode, I was piled upon by zombies and died. That game over screen traumatized me and I did not pick up RE for months! When I did gave it a second chance, I notice there was a 3rd mode: ARRANGED. It made the game ridiculously easy by giving me all the weapons, and so I plowed through Raccoon City with my machine gun and rocket launcher. It was fun until it wasn't. I decided to play the game on Normal, got eaten and died, then powered through it. Finally beat the game on Normal and Hard. Also went for the S Rank and bonus content. Now I love all horror and survival horror games (Silent Hill, Outlast, Evil Within, etc). It became my favorite genre.

3. The Witcher 3

Had it not for this game, I wouldn't have made The Nilfgaardian Collection or started digital art. I think it was December 2019 (or 16 I dunno, it was Xmas), my brother gave me two choices: TW3 or FF15. I wanted FF15 cuz I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy and TW3 was hyped to the heavens. I wanted to know if the hype was justified and so I got TW3 GOTY edition. The hype... was well deserved! I was hooked, I plat the game, I decided to make fanarts of my fave character (Emhyr) and gave myself a goal: to have the biggest collection of Emhyr and Nilfgaard pics and be known as that crazy chick with an unhealthy obsession to Emhyr and his Nilfgaardian empire. Thus cemented the Nilfgaardian Collection in the fandom!

NSB SCENARIOS

𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓶𝓮𝓮𝓽

𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧

You met him at an anime convention, you decided to cosplay as Shoko from Maki from Jujustu Kaisen and he was totally feeling it. I mean when they recorded the video there was so many clips of him looking at you in awe. He thought your cosplay complimented the way your skin. He was too nervous to say the least and when it came to when they went on a little break for them to hang around and view a little more areas before they went back to filming, he immediately went up to you and complimented your cosplay.

When he walked up to you, he was amazed that you knew who he was. At that, he was happy you acknowledged him as one of the members.

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐧

You and Justin met during one of his lives. He kept getting comments in his live saying " Invite Y/N to the live trust me ", he couldn't ignore them. Especially since they sent him a gift making him need to do the request even more. Once he found your account he was stuck. Even the viewers could see so. He paused and did his smile while rubbing his face. " Chat, this girl right? ", he said while showing his phone. Once everyone in the chat approved that it was you he followed you and invited you to the live. 

Once you got the notification that someone that went by ' Sojuphan ' has invited you to their live you looked at the profiles and joined, thinking it couldn't be that bad. Oh, you were wrong. He was beautiful to you. His blonde hair had you star struck. You are immediately smiled as he and you introduced each other. Once the awkwardness settled you both went into battling, he was confused. Usually, he had these sorts of things in the bag. But why was he losing to someone, especially you? That night after the live he promised himself that he was going to battle you every night until he had a winning streak.

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐨

Regie never intended on actually going to one of the events that NSB was invited to. In fact, he was planning on telling Oliver that he was too sick to even go to the whole thing. He has just broken up with his ex-girlfriend (on good terms) and was not ready to go back into the world of socializing. He was a little to late to make up to the whole sick thing so he decided to go and see what could possibly happen you know? 

Once he arrived with his normal comfortable attire, he just planned to have a few drinks and stick to the other members as best as he could. He didn't want to stick out, and he didn't want to seem like antisocial at the same time. So, he did was he knew best to do. It all changed once he saw you. Your curls, your skin, and oh lord your dress. He was too caught up looking at you that he didn't even notice Manager Ty coming up to him, " Oh you see her? That's Y/n. I'm pretty sure she was the girl on live with Sebastian the other day helping him with the music. She's really good at the producing things. ". Regie turned to him, " So she's been helping to produce our music? ", Tyler nodded. He thought why he had never seen you before. He needed to talk to you.

𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐲

Oliver met you at a meet and greet. It was just the members and the few people who had purchased the VIP tickets that were present. How could he had not noticed you, your hair was in a cute little puff, and you had his favorite color on. He usually thought he wasn't the type of guy to go for black girls, but you were so pretty. He knew he had to stay professional since this was not a tinder date, but a meet n' greet with his fans. You were one of those very fans. 

When it came to your turn to meet him you were nervous. You didn't even notice the fact that Oliver looked nervous out of his mind either. " Hi, my name is Y/N ", you spoke to him with your smile, and boy if he had a list of favorite smiles, yours would be in between Justin's and Darren's. You only had 5 minutes with each member to speak, and he as a little disappointed, especially in himself, because he was the guy that suggested that amount of time. 

" Hey Y/N, is this your first time coming to one of our meet n' greets? ", he questioned you while you were just smiling not trying to come off as any type of creepy. You shook your head, you've came here before, but last time you came you didn't have chance to speak with Oliver only Regie and Kane. " No, I came here last tour. Though, I didn't get to speak with you ", you replied trying hard not to show how nervous you were when it came to speaking to one of your favorite members.

You and Oliver talked all the way up until your 5 minutes were up, and man he wished he had more time. He actually wrote your name down on a piece of napkin he had, just so he could remember your name so when it came time for him to search you up on the internet that night.

𝐑𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐧

It was actually the same as Justin's almost, but instead you were behind Justin as they were live battling. He was confused at first, because he knew you weren't usually the type of girl Justin would have gone for. No offence to your race, but he knew his friend was into another girl that he hung out with on live one day. During the battle he couldn't help himself but sort of look at you as you were scrolling on your phone sort of looking uninterested in the whole live. But he knew one thing. You were causing Justin to win, and he didn't like that at all.

" Who's she lil bro? Crazy how you need help from someone to help you win against me ", Ryan spoke while reading a few of the comments left in his live. Justin laughed as you perked up, " He doesn't need me to win I think you just suck a little ", you smiled as you finally looked up from your phone, and boy was Ryan surprised. You were actually kind of pretty he had to admit. He just smiled covering his mouth as Justin got off about him being a loser. You smiled as you leaned up to the camera to see exactly who you were talking to.

" OH SHIT JUSTIN YOU DIDN'T TELL ME WE WERE BATTLING RYAN!", You kept repeating, slapping Justin's shoulder in excitement. " She knows me? ", Ryan asked. " Yeah, she's your number one fan or whatever ", Justin just rolled his eyes.

𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠

You met Darren at a Boba Tea spot. It actually wasn't anything special, you were working there. He was filming a video with the group when he was the one paying for everyone's boba. When he came up to the register to place the order. He thought your hair was really pretty along with your curly lashes and thick eyebrows.

" What can I help you with sir? ", you asked him, now looking up from your watch. He looked at you and smiled, so glad that the camera wasn't being shoved in his face at this very moment to catch him cheesing over some employee at the boba shop. " Oh, um- are you new here? ", he asked looking around. Usually there was a man working in the front. You smile as you nod. " You must be looking for Joon, well he got promoted to manager and is only here in the mornings.", you replied as you put in the orders. 

" That'll be $45.89. ", smiling as he handed you, his card. You turned to look at the rest of his members. " Are you all a group or something? ", asking him, turning around to grabs some of the orders that came out a little faster than others.

He smiled as he nodded. This was going to be his new favorite place to come to for now on.

𝐒𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐲

Sebastian always followed you on Instagram. He loved you, well that's what all the members would say about him. He was the only member that was true to say which person/influencer he truly had a crush on. When it came down to expose videos, when they had to go through each other's phone, they saw many dm's on his phone to your Instagram account. They found it funny. They chopped it up to him being rejected since you haven't responded to a single dm. Even to one that offered for the two of you to collab.

It was all funny till he got a dm from you, apologizing for never getting back to him. You told him you would love to collab with him one day and that did he have any ideas for the collab. 

He went around the whole day to the other member bragging about you responding back to him, and exaggerating the point where he told other members you were going to be his wife one day in the future.

🐺 Snippet 2

So, yeah, suffice it to say, Harry Styles was fucking flawless – ask any Alpha.

“You’re such a shit cuddle.”

Well, any Alpha except Louis Tomlinson.

Briefly pausing his attempts to tame a single, wayward curl in the mirror, Harry turned to glance at Louis over his shoulder. They made eye contact, and Harry took his time, silently giving Louis’ jeans a pointed once over as he zipped them up.

Louis clearly got his meaning, if the exasperated scoff he responded with was anything to go by.

Still, Harry made sure to add, “I actually have somewhere to be,” as he turned back to his reflection. Apparently, a twenty-minute delay was all the grace period you got before someone or other’s piranha of a fourth wife was making a play for your seat as Chair of the Board of the Philharmonic, he thought, rolling his eyes.

And while Harry was begrudgingly well aware that, as the heir and incumbent head of a multi-billion dollar tech giant, Louis probably also had somewhere to be (jeans notwithstanding), what Louis said instead was, “Let me clarify: you’re always a shit cuddle.” His smirk was bright as his head popped out of his black Loro Piana sweater. “Have been since boarding school.”

Harry ignored the quip and the sordid reminder of just how long this pragmatic little arrangement had been going on, his eyes drawn to the movement of Louis adjusting the back of his shirt collar. He tried not to think about the fabric sitting against the nape of Louis’ neck; how those two inches of cashmere probably smelled the most like them, together – fresh sage and sea salt, white suede and pink pepper. How, even without them ever knotting, those scents – their arousal – always seemed to permeate expensive fabric the most (and made sheets a bitch and a half to dry clean, which was partially to blame for their decade-long standing patronage of the penthouse suite at the St. Regis.)

“Aren’t you a little old to still be dressing like you’re cosplaying Steve Jobs?” Harry asked blithely, slipping the last of his rings onto his finger. “Nevermind the fact that your father was about thirty times more successful.”

Louis’ jaw dropped in dramatic faux shock. “Was that actually a compliment for the riff-raff new money, snob?”

“Facts aren’t compliments, Tomlinson,” Harry sniffed. “And being a snob is my birthright.”

Regis cosplay and the complicated history of a belt buckle

There’s nothing like cosplay to give you a whole new appreciation for the little details that go into a character’s costume.

Take Regis’ belt: if you’ve ever looked closely at the belt buckle and tip, they’re really distinctive—and really pretty.

Not to mention really frustrating to try and source.

Though that sideways-heart-shape is one of the more authentically-medieval details on his outfit, belts like that have been out of fashion for centuries. Even searching for oversized retro 80′s styles turned up nothing like it. The square conchos aren’t too unusual, but the buckle is another story.

Until I started looking on sites that did medieval replica buckles and holy crap, Regis’ buckle was based on an actual medieval replica! That you can actually buy!

This particular buckle is available in both gold and silver (buckle and end sold separately for some reason)—and from multiple different sites, even! (Very handy when the first one I found wouldn’t post to Australia). I’ve used mostly pics of the gold version here, though Regis’ actual belt looks silver in most of the better pics I’ve found of it.

Here, have a close-up comparison to show just how perfect this thing is.

If you look even closer, you may notice they’ve even reproduced the same shapes on the decorations on his satchel.

Some of those sites will go a step further and explain that this particular buckle was based on a real historical design from the 1460′s—specifically from the painting “Portrait of a Lady”, by Rogier van der Weyden.

Though you can certainly see the resemblance, they haven’t copied the painting exactly. In fact, there are far more precise replicas out there based on that same portrait.

More than one, in fact.

You can even get cheap, simplified versions of basically the exact same design!

Seems to be a pretty popular style.

All that said, Regis’ belt is still clearly based on that first replica from the top of this post, not the original portrait or any of the other reproduction buckles. Given that those buckles seem to have been up for sale online since at least a couple months before Blood and Wine came out, I’m assuming it was the devs copying an existing belt buckle design, not replica-buckle makers taking a design from a computer game. (What international copyright law says about this sort of thing I have no idea—I don’t think most clothing is supposed to be copyrightable in the same way other media is but I am not the person to ask. All I can tell you is that this questionably-authorised game-reproduction has already sold one buckle set to at least this one delighted fan—and now that the rest of you know about it, perhaps some more as well.)

With all that established, should we take a moment to enjoy some very mild amusement that what Regis is wearing was based on a lady’s silk belt? (A lady’s belt that he has carefully coordinated to match his bag, no less!) That probably shouldn’t be so surprising given how decorative the thing is, though I’m sure it’d be easy to miss if (perhaps like the devs) you’ve only seen the replica version up for sale with standard leather straps. Most medieval gear sites don’t bother to split their products into male and female categories that way (nor should they).

Not that I can see any of that bothering Regis. And it is, whatever else you may take from it, a very pretty buckle design.

portuguese cover of lady of the lake part i

i was excited until i realized it’s either cahir or regis wearing bright cherry red... i started to feel like geralt in tower of the swallow when he learns from angouleme of schirru’s spying on them, and hears a white haired man, a good looking guy with a lute named dandelion, a woman with dark blonde hair cut at the nape of the neck, and a man who was undescribed... which one is it, which one!

sometimes, the order in which they ride is described, such as milva riding in the vanguard in the end of baptism of fire, or regis and geralt riding at the back in tower of the swallow and followed up by angouleme who then overtakes them, so i was thinking if i can identify the scene, it may help identify the rider

i realized they seem to be riding to stygga castle (a castle hewn from the cliffside looms in the distance, surrounded by shipwrecks, upon which masses of black birds congregate)

but if they’re riding to stygga

why is dandelion here?! ... angouleme in dandelion cosplay?

My biggest leatherworking project to date! I learned a ton whilst making this - there’s still a few minor errors but overall I’m so happy with how it turned out. I really wanted a new shoulder bag and I love the design of Regis’ bag in Blood & Wine so I thought, why not make it ;). I patterned it from scratch after the references and then cut, dyed, tooled & handstitched the leather. Leather dye is Fiebing’s Mahogany in 50:50 solution. For an added touch I also lined the entire bag with some burgundy suede (and added a shoulder patch to make it easier to carry).

Unfortunately I don’t have the skills/materials to make my own brass fittings yet, so everything except for the buckles/rings/screws that’s probably brass in Regis’ bag I carefully tooled out and then painted with gold leather paint.
