Final Fantasy Viii Squall Leonhart Costume

One of the most stunning costumes throughout the whole set of *Final Fantasy VIII* has to be of course Squall Leonhart, easily recognizable by any gamer. To describe it in a word: Squall wears a leather jacket with fur trim, very plain white T-shirt, black pants, and his Griever necklace, symbolizing his power and authority as a member of SeeD. The rugged yet stylish look is completed by leather belts with gunblade holsters and combat boots. This costume represents the stoic personality of Squall perfectly and, at the same time, imparts an edge of practicality and toughness, which makes it a favorite cosplay costume.

Carrying Tips:

Proper care was necessary for any costume, but one with leather parts like Squall Leonhart demanded preservation for its further life. For the leather jacket and belts, gently clean with a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner, in order not to damage by too much water. Hanging wide, padded hangers holds them in good shape. For the fabric parts, such as the T-shirt and pants, machine-wash on a delicate cycle in cold water. Always air-dry to prevent any shrinkage. Keep the entire costume in a cool, dry place and fold into a garment bag to protect against dust, keeping your Squall Leonhart outfit in excellent condition for future wear.
