Return to Arts and Crafts

Where's everyone going? Bingo?

Not much to say about this one! I made Warden Ingo in 2022, and I already had all the patterns handy, so I got some extra fabric and also built his regular version from Pokémon Black and White a few months later! The process was very much the same, except for creating the oversized cuffs since the coat in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are ripped apart. I did, however, buy a more vibrant shade of orange than I did with Warden Ingo, since I had picked the original shade for its sunbleached-looking hue. I felt his pristine uniform should be more vibrant in comparison. The tie and shirt were additional thrift finds, the coat and hat were remade following the same pattern I had for his Warden version, and the gloves were found online.

I've only worn it for one con so far, but it was nice. It's more comfortable than the Warden Ingo version of the cosplay, since there's less layers and the very peelable goatee is omitted. While I prefer the wearing experience of this version of the costume, I just hold Pokémon Legends: Arceus much closer to my heart, so Warden Ingo wins in my book.

I got a wonderful uniform hat from SunjuicyPins in 2024, and though I've been a bit lazy taking the time to tape the sideburns on for photos, I hope to find the energy to do so eventually to add some photos of it here! I think it really ties the whole thing together, as my original hat looks very much homemade (which is absolutely fine, but since Ingo is wearing a work uniform as a Subway Boss, I much prefer the sleek look of the new hat I bought!)
