Fear and Loathing Costumes

The best way to pay homage to Hunter S Thompson is with a great Raoul Costume Kit. Here are the pieces you need for any complete costume, based on Johnny Depp’s character in the movie:

Hat – Riding across shotgun with Gonzo across the desert, Raoul sports a solid white bucket hat with a green under brim.  You can find a lot of white hats out there, but don’t forget the green under brim if you’re going for accuracy.

Sunglasses – Yellow Aviators were all the rage, and Roaul Duke wears his all through the movie.

Fly Swatter – Break out a flyswatter to repel the bats, for this is bat country!

Cigarette filter – Hunter S. Thompson, who based Raoul Duke on himself, never smoked without a filter. After seeing how much scum a cigarette filter collected with just one day’s use, Thompson refused to smoke a cigarette without one.

Hawaiian Shirt – The shirt is a must if you’re going for complete accuracy.  The dark brown and yellow shirt is distinctive enough to make its mark.

The Best Roaul Duke Costume Kit – There’s plenty of costume pieces out there, but the best  complete Roaul Duke costume kit is one that includes all these elements.  Plus, it ships from the US. Find the complete set here: [link]
