I got the items at various places. Since I'm not good at sewing...I purchased them from a variety of vendors/stores. The white shirt and overcoat was purchased on Ebay by a store in China that manufactures them (go figure...everything is made in China these days 90% of the time...LOL!).
My shoes/boots for Howl were purchased at Elder Bearmen, my jewelery was purchased on a website called LoveGhibli. It is the authentic jewelery from Japan. The earrings, rings and necklace all cost me above $1000 total though...so that can be expensive. My pants I got at G.A.P. and wig I got on a cosplay website. I hope this helps you! I had a lot of fun gathering the things for this cosplay.

oh cool and yikes thats a lot of money lol. I was thinking of being Howl next year (because I'm being Italy and Karkat this year) I saw Howl on Cosplayfu and it looked remarkably similar. I'll see if I can find any of the jewelry I need for him. Thanks :3

Yep yep...it was a lot of money indeed! Really? Well I wish you the best of luck. Just take a look around and try your best to be authentic. That was what I did...and my persistence paid off. Your welcome...take care!

Thank you so much!
My friend Ashley (photographer) and I spotted this tree on the Detroit Riverfront and we had to make use of its color somehow. The sunlight was perfect and everything worked out.
Now I'm sharing it on deviantArt. My hope is that it inspires other Hayao Miyazaki loves (such as myself) to cosplay some of his works and perhaps I may find other Hayao Miyazaki lovers along the way through comments and such.
Once again...thank you! I was intrigued by the color too!
