Year 2 attempt at better documenting my cosplay progress! Gonna use this as the build thread for both versions of Aventurine because I'm a crazy person who decided one version wasn't enough 🤣 I have a problem help.

The hat base is pretty much done; just need to do a top sealant coat on the leather. I feel like his hat ref oscillates between a boat hat and a fedora. Decided to go the fedora route as I feel like Aventurine is 100% the type of guy who would wear a fedora lol

Progress catch up! Started gathering fabric for both and ordered some custom pattern swatches for his IPC vers. I've finished both sets of gloves. Finished default vers gloves pictured below with half of the rings. Both sets of gloves are made out of some nice lambskin I found.
