I randomly acquired a new military jacket that works for a ringmaster, a friend bought it but it didn’t fit him. I have a growing collection of military jackets that I pick up whenever i see them cheap.

The riding crop is a nice touch but it definitely needs a top hat and a cummerbund.

Cummerbund acquired from AliExpress along with a bowtie and a pocket handkerchief…. but I don’t have a pocket for it… it’ll have to live in the trouser pocket.

Now I’m thinking of upgrading the shirt to a dress shirt with a wing tipped collar as well as getting a top hat. At this point though I’m going to mark the project as done because I’m pretty happy with it.
