Rogue-Eaglet as Ivan Braginski (Russia)

Ivan Braginski (Russia)

Hetalia: Axis Powers

Cardverse

Cosplayer: Rogue-Eaglet
I didn't particularly feel like doing his normal outfit considering, as far as I've seen around my area, people tend to wear that and I wanted something a bit more original. I stumbled upon the Arte Stella playing cards and automatically knew that was the one I had to make. Not to mention that with just one official reference picture, it left a lot of room for creative liberties. ^_^

All clovers are made of felt. They're either sewn onto the outfit using the zig-zag stitch or attached via safety pins. The exception being the ones painted onto the back of my boots.

Hat is made of wool and was knitted. A strip of cardboard helps keep its box-shaped atop my head.

Black embroidery thread was used for top-stitching where the main coat changes color. I added zippers to the side-seams, that allows me quick access to the pockets of my pants during cons.

I used polar fabric for the jacket's cuffs and bias, while fleece of a matching colour was used for the scarf. So yeah, this is definitely not a cosplay I want to wear during the hot-season lol.

Nadeshicon 2014 is the only con I've worn this cosplay for the moment.
