Final Fantasy 7 Styled Axel Cosplay Help

[-Melodious-Rocker-IX]

hey i have my final fantasy 7 styled axel cosplay almost done, it's just that i have this plain black hot topic vest and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to some kind of final fantasy touches i could put on it.

exclaim Keep it canon?
exclaim Don't ruin the character by dressing him with a Hot Topic make over?
exclaim Wait until Birth By Sleep comes out and cosplay as Lea later?

Lol, I was thinking that as well. And basically a Reno cosplay with Axel hair would make people go "ftw?" Some chick did an amazing mix of two characters at Otakon one year. The RikkuXCloud, anyone remember her? That was actually a GREAT costume. Most likely because the characters were COMPLETELY different. I'll see if I can find a photo of her. (Proof that you don't HAVE to stay cannon as long as you do it right.)
