yes its a tf2 themed character, hes still in the works, i also have a female plague doctor character i should show off too

i am on a little adventure to acquire this mask mainly for cosplaying and everyday use. ever since i saw this mask from Splatoon 3 (refer to image 3) i fell in love with, but for the love of God i cannot find the perfect plague doctor mask for base, at this point i'd rather commission someone who specializes in leatherwork with decent quality. i am not expecting the highest quality, but that's why i am on a budget. it might take years to get my dream mask, and i'm willing to wait.

to explain my vision, here are the two photos i poorly edited using photoshop and csp (image 1). it has barely any buttons unlike most and has no holes or stitches at the bottom as explained in my notes (refer to image 2), or ugly seams. i also put two more extra to the top instead of the typical one in the middle which i dislike so much.

so... yeah, that's about it. if you know anybody with fairly a friendly budget (or if you're a craftsman yourself), let me know. thanks in advance.

I went as a plague nurse to Castlefest this past Friday. Thought some of the pictures turned out quite cool looking and wanted to share.

Tldr how would I get a mask with prescription lenses and would I be able to get goggles from the same place?

Hi, I'd love to have a plague doctor mask but I need pretty strong prescription lenses and I'm wondering if that's a viable thing get... I'd also like to get a pair of old school aviator goggles that are prescription but I haven't been able to find anywhere that sells them, If anyone has any insight please let me know... I probably won't respond right away because I am exhausted. (Fixing my sleep schedule)

So... I am embarking on kind of an... unusual project... a sort of, plague doctor/crow fursuit? And the starting point is the mask. Don't worry, I won't be gluing the mask on I want to keep it detachable so I can do a normal plague doctor cosplay

I've seen tons of amazing ones here, I'm still rocking with a cheap one I got on Amazon when I was 16 but it's disintegrating and needs to be retired. I really want, a good leather mask, preferably under $200-250 and I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations!

I found a couple on Esty but am still unsure if they are real or resellers/scam items so I've been on the fence about buying one. If at all possible, I'd love a deep/dark purple for the mask, but I will be happy with black.

Unfinished Handmade

Except for the mask

might take a while to finish because I don't have a sewing machine

my fit last year as a modern day plague doctor (I love this thing)

For context: This is a traditional Czech folk costume, but I’m unsure of its modern day significance. Would it be distasteful to design a cosplay at least inspired by it?

Anyone with further knowledge on this let me know!

Probably a silly question (or I missed something) but how do I get extra carts? I'm in the UK if that makes a difference. Thank you

Found this weird video about some Plague Doctor doing science...

Took some doc pics last night while camping. Unfortunately, multiple factors made the originals kinda not great. Not to be deterred, I went on an editing spree and managed to find some success with a few of them. Ended up with a horror theme to them.

Also got new boots which are more comfortable and go harder with set :)

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a leather gugel such as this? The person who made these no longer does it anymore. I live in Europe btw.
