This is my first, and possibly last, attempt at Cosplay. This is Deadly Premonition’s Francis York Morgan. I did a lot of research on other cosplayers, what they wore, and how prominent their scar was. What I figured out is most sported FYM’s first suit-recognizable, and pretty easy to do…so I wanted to do something else.
FYM has a wardrobe full of various suits. Some appropriate, others…not so much. I went with his “Crimson” suit (pictured here), and ‘Workaholic” (pictures coming later). The hardest part of Crimson came to three things: The Coat, the Tie, and the Haircut. Goodwill was a good source for coats, but finding the red one took me a couple tries. The tie took me a few weeks until I was satisfied with the color and design, and the cut was done by an old barber confused as to why I’d want a scar of a “Movie Star” in my head.
I’ll have to test the water, as I’m headed to PAX East in a few days. If I get recognized, my job was a success, and maybe I'll do cosplay again.

Also, work on your creepy York smile. Also also and even if you don't have Police brand cigarettes have a pack of something, and make sure to light/put them out with the same flourish he does.
