Often perceived as impractical and somewhat a frivolous use of resources cosplay has become an art form. Like any other art, the art of compiling an accurate and convincing recreation of a digital character can be time-consuming and difficult, this is my personal journey of becoming Jesse McCree; aka McCree. McCree is definitely one of the more interesting and (formerly) controversial characters on the tremendously popular game Overwatch.

With the right fabric you can create your own versions. Use fabric paint or markers to add smaller details to your accessories. Use a photo of McCree as a reference to help you out.

Alright and that’s a wrap for McCree...this one is a long one, but it’s well worth it to consider everything said here. At this point it might be a good idea to fix the spurs to the boots if you haven’t done so already. As you can see, this McCree cosplay guide is grouped into two: outfit and accessories. For the McCree cosplay outfit, you have the cowboy hat (a specifically tattered hat), brown shirt, brown pants, and brown leather chaps. Then for the accessories, there’s the gold breastplate armor, red serape or scarf, and a pair of brown cowboy boots with sharp boot spurs. Speaking of sexism that you can experience when doing cosplay, how do you feel about the Cosplay Is Not Consent campaign? Do you want to exude a more authentic McCree personality? Try practicing gun-slinging using your fake prosthetic arm while holding your Peacekeeper revolver replica. This should prepare you well when convention comes around.

Alright, we’ve talked quite a bit about McCree...more so than what’s strictly necessary for cosplaying the guy.

About McCree

McCree’s brown shirt is pretty basic so you can go with a casual one with short sleeves. If not, a button up shirt will do. Don’t want to spend unnecessarily? Then, go with an old brown shirt, which shouldn’t be too hard to find. Brown Pants Did you know that the red shawl famously draped on the outlaw’s shoulders is a popular item in Mexico? So, you won’t find it hard to secure one for your McCree cosplay. If you’re feeling adventurous, there are online tutorials on how to create the rather complex McCree serape pattern, or you can simply use a red scarf or a piece of red fabric. Brown Cowboy Boots With The Spurs This is the definitive guide to Jesse McCree cosplay. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to create the best cosplay for your next event. Chaps, spurs, gloves, and cigar may not be necessary. But they will certainly detract from the 'authenticity' of the costume. It may very well be too much if you take away all or even one of them...completely personal choice here. You said your boyfriend travels with you most of the time to conventions and that, as a professional cosplayer, you pretty much have to have another person with you to help, right?

This is the breastplate, the cowboy hat, the bullet belt. This is a gender-bend of McCree from the video game Overwatch.

Oh wow, I went to Anime North too… I spent the night in the hentai room. They've actually caught people jerking off in there before. Are you someone who’s not really the creative type? That’s what shops like Etsy are here for. It’s one of the places you go to when you need to find things like 3D templates or cosplay costumes and accessories.
