article: Even if you will be buying the cosplay, you still have to take into account the shipping times. There is also a chance that the cosplay may not fit properly. If that happens, you'll have to take the time to adjust it. You should give yourself at least a month in order to make or buy the cosplay. If you will be commissioning the cosplay, you will need to give yourself even more time. Have lots of reference pictures ready. You can buy a set online from an anime cosplay shop or you can commission someone to make one for you. You can also make your own based on a robe pattern. If you choose to make your own Akatsuki robes, do the following:  Draft your own pattern or modify an existing one to include the tall, wide collar. Use some sort of stiffener inside the collar to help it stand up. Thick interfacing or craft foam will do. Make the designs by painting them on with fabric paint or creating appliques. Get a dark-colored (black or navy) fitted t-shirt and cut a V-neck into it. Hem the V-neck for a nicer finish. Wear the shirt over a long-sleeved fishnet shirt when you wear your cosplay. Alternatively, you can purchase a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay set online. You can purchase a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay online, you can buying matching pants separately, or you can make your own. The pants need to be baggy from waist down to about mid-calf. After that, they should be fitted. They should be the same color as the V-neck t-shirt you modified. If you cannot find pants that are fitted below the calves, that's okay. Again, you can find these in an online cosplay supply shop, commission them, or make them yourself. If you choose to make them yourself, you will need to use the same material you used for your t-shirt and pants. Start with a sock shape, then cut the toes off. Hem the raw edges, then slide the shoe covers over a pair of black or navy flip flops.  The flip flops will create the thickness of the sole as well as cushion your foot. If the shoe covers slip and slide on the convention floor too much, draw squiggles on the underside with a glue gun or silicone. This will give you some traction. Itachi wears a set of spat-like covers over his shoes. They come up to about his mid-calves and cover the bottom portion of his pants, causing them to puff out below the knees. You can buy these from a cosplay supply shop or make your own using white jersey material. You can also buy a pair of white socks and cut off the heels, as well as the entire front portion. Remember to hem the raw/cut edges of the spats.  The front portion includes everything from the arch to the toes. You want a 1-inch (2.5-cm) thick strip under your arch. You will wear these over the flip flops and open-toed shoe covers. The headband (or forehead protector) is one of the most important parts of the cosplay, next to the Akatsuki robes. You need to find Itachi Uchia's particular type of headband. If you cannot find his headband online, you can buy Sasuke Uchia's headband instead, then draw a horizontal line across the front using a black marker. These are not mandatory to the cosplay, but they will make it more authentic and detailed. You will need to buy Itachi's red/scarlet Shu ring online from a cosplay supply shop. You can buy his necklace on there as well, or you can make it yourself by tying pieces of black cording to three silver washers. The washes need to be spaced a few inches apart.

article: Choose to get a pergola made of wood if you want to enhance the natural environment. Wood is always a safe choice for any outdoor setting, because it easily fits in.  A cedar pergola will repel insects, repel water, give off a nice aroma, and resist decay. Redwood pergolas are desirable because of their strength and attractive appearance. If you’ve got a higher budget, go with pressure treated oak, fir, pine, or bamboo. Depending on the type of metal you choose, metal pergolas can accentuate a variety of styles, including both traditional and more modern. Go with either wrought iron, aluminum, or steel.  Wrought iron pergolas are typically both the most expensive and most ornate choice. Choose steel if you want your pergola to stand strong for a long period of time. Aluminum pergolas are popular because they’re inexpensive, sturdy, and lightweight. In recent years, vinyl has become a more popular material choice. Vinyl is cheaper, more lightweight, and easier to clean than the other options. You would only have to spray down a vinyl pergola with a garden hose from time to time to keep it looking good, and you won’t have to worry about any cracks forming. Most vinyl pergolas are white, but you can also find them in gray, tan, and other colors. If you’re wanting to add a “wow” factor to your yard, consider getting a Tuscan style pergola. Its large, round pillars and stone material leave a lavish impression on guests. The stone material makes this style an expensive option, so if you’re working with a small budget, consider getting a Tuscan style that uses materials other than the traditional stone. If you already have a koi pond or a small asian-inspired garden, then a Japanese style pergola would be a great choice. This style is characterized by its wooden beams that curve upward, similar to many other pieces of Japanese architecture. Go for an Amish pergola if you appreciate one-of-a-kind quality woodwork. If you get this style, your pergola will have a distinct grain and coloration unlike any other, and will provide a quaint addition to your yard. Arched pergolas are both stylish and functional. If you want a bigger pergola used as both an impressive focal point and for functional coverage, this may be the best option. Especially if you’re wanting a specific, unique pergola that you can’t just assemble with a kit, you’ll need to make a note of each and every detail. Decide on the size of the corner posts, the size of the lattices, and how much the pergola's roof should overhang the corner posts.  This is especially necessary if you’re wanting a very large, very small, or uniquely shaped (round or triangular) pergola.  Keep in mind that customization prices add up quickly.
