After some clothing items, not sure where to get them though

I'm after a few things to add to my usual fancy dress repertoire, but I'm after GOOD quality stuff as opposed to the usual cheap fancy dress stuff you find.

I'm however having a hard time finding anything that fits my requirements, but also doesn't cost lots.

I need a COWBOY style belt/buckle ... now I can find a buckle on flebay, but finding a leather strap for the belt that looks the part (ie isn't just plain leather) is being a bit hard.

I also need some sort of green shirt (not t-shirt), that looks cool, for the traffic light party

Any ideas anyone?

Green shirt...

This should work but if not type 'shirt' into the search bar and just tick 'green' in the left hand column.

Wearing green is cheesy at a traffic light party. Every boy ends up wearing green and every girl ends up wearing red.

Why don't you wear amber and tell them to "try your luck".

Because I can't pull off anything amber as a decent look, but can do so with green shirts and so on

There is a green/white or orange/white check shirt I could use, but I don't think they look smart enough

Isn't part of the point of fancy dress parties to make really tacky and terrible costumes?

That's what some people go for yes, I tend to go for something I can manage and still look good...

Like MJ or 60s gangster look (with proper white tie/hat)
Cowboy look (with a proper hat)

etc

I mean, yes ... a superhero costume is out of the question clearly, but even then I'd try to go for something "out there" ... like say (not that I would do it) the mask with yellow suit etc ... still looking good wearing proper clothes, but with a fancy theme

Besides I tend to always wear "fancy dress" when I go out, ie something to stand out ... be it a hat, a wild coloured shirt and tie, etc

Try River Island. They always have over the top cowboyesque belts.
