Way OT: Need a mascot costume

This is way OT, but I figured someone here might have a suggestion. I have a client that has a dog mascot for their electrical safety program. They would like to have a costume made from the simple cartoon design for use along with their live presentations they give at local schools. Does anyone know of a resource for this sort of work?

Thanks!

Jim

BTW - I edited two of their long form safety videos and a couple of 30 second broadcast spots using Vegas, so maybe that helps keep it slightly on topic ;-)

Here's one company that does that. Do a search online for "custom mascot costumes".

Yep. I had already done an on-line search and found this one (and quite a few others) I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with a particular company.

This guy claims to have made the bigfoot costume in the patterson film. Guess he can pull off a mascot .

Thanks for the referal. I'll add it to the list I'm sending to my client in the morning.

You might contact Costume World, which recently bought out Brooks-Van Horn and Dodger Costumes, two of the largest (and oldest) theatrical costume houses in the country.

We've dealt with Brooks-Van Horn for years. They produced Broadway and road company costumes for most of the 20th century, as well as supplying costumes for projects such as yours. Their rental inventory was HUGE! Costume World has it all now.

Hehe :-) That would be better than the one he has -- Hot Spot...
