Medieval Belt, Pouch, and Potion Bottle ($15)​

The set includes a brown medieval belt, a 250 ml potion bottle with a bottle sleeve, and a renaissance belt pouch. The craftsmanship of the belt is impressive, crafted meticulously from tanned and treated artificial leather. The bottle and belt pouch can hold your dice if you play at conventions.

Vampire Costume ($20)​

Although this is technically for vampires it's got all the steampunk basics, from the cloak to the vest, from the gloves to the cane (which is the best part). It comes with teeth too.

Short Boot Covers ($20)​

These are a good compromise if you plan to dress up for a convention but don't want to have to change your footwear. Comfortable shoes with these boot covers over them are the way to go.

Pirate Captain Shirt ($20)​

I frequently wear cosplay attire when I run panels at conventions, and one thing I'm sensitive to is that all those costumes get hot. So I'm always happy to have a cosplay appropriate t-shirt underneath if I need to take off my jacket. This is an artistically-rendered pirate-style shirt that works well for my steampunk theme. It's also a great "I didn't feel like dressing up but I wore this shirt" costume.

Long Boot Covers ($30)​

Unlike other boot covers which are more focused on covering your shoe, these cover your leg. I got the brown ones (steampunk, remember?) and they look pretty good with black shoes. That said, the pattern is a little slapped on (it's a white ribbon that runs the outside of the boot leg). I don't mind it, as it gives a bit of flair to the boot leg. Even better, this goes on over the intersection between your pants and the shoe, so it blends nicely without having to tuck your pants into it.
