Pretty awesome black beard costume. I ironed the coat to be less wrinkly, steam setting worked best especially for the faux leather. I took some of the glittery accents off. I added a black long hair wig (for a witch costume) and tied a black sash to the hair like a pony tail. Went to Gasparilla in Tampa and had lots of compliments and requests for photos with a "real pirate" (having a beard helped). I also didn't see anyone else wearing the same costume.
