Get Backers Cosplay Help

[Figgles]

I'm considering going as Kazuki from Get Backers, but I'm having a little problem as far as the outfit goes. I'm not sure where to get the kind of shirt he wears or even what you would call them. ><

Thats the only part that I'm having problems with. Other than that, I know what to do for the rest of his outfit because its pretty easy as far as it goes. Anyone that can help me figure out where to find or what that kind of shirt is called?

Thanks for any help!

If you don't absolutely insist on making the shirt I know a site that sells it. I was thinking about going as him too but I am going to put it off for a while

ignore the pretentious hipster-ness of the site in general...especially this video for some reason. its full of interesting stuff.
Im thinking you could maybe do something along these lines with a big shirt that's way to big on you...that you also cut the neck out of.

that is a very interesting video >_>

Yeah, I'd get a baggy shirt and cut it. then sew up the trim. Lastly bind your chest down and use a tape or glue to hold it to your body. You also might want to use hair spray or a starcher to hold the fabric in a wavy pattern like how it is in the pic. Thats what id do, but I'v never tryed it. Xp

All these are great ideas! I'm currently looking into all of them. Thanks for the help!

My idea, if I were to do this, is find a white long sleeve night-gown and crop the top part.  I would tailor the sides near the bust ( I assume you are female...didn't look at ur profile) with some elstic band to keep it snug by your body and in place. It's actually a simple make, but really depends on you experience and preference as to buy of make urself. I like to attempt to create.. 

Kazuki's top doesn't seem to be of a satin material, but it's up to you or what you find...

Good luck! ~
