I would appreciate if someone can tell me where I can get these three things:
- Glasses like Vash' from Trigun
- A backpack like the one Vash carries, all belts and black, with the carry strap.
- Headbands like the ones in Naruto, complete with village emblem on metal guard.
any info appreciated, and anyone else feel free to make a request.

I can tell you that the Naruto headbands are popular sellers at comic/manga conventions. I know for sure I saw two places that were selling them at San Diego Comic-Con two years ago, and they should be easier to get now. Also try Ebay.

I haven't seen any place selling them, but you could always grab a small blowtorch, some pliers, and modify some sunglasses...

I prefer JBox. They're really helpful and ship to pretty much everywhere.

For the backpack, you are going to have to mod something yourself, most likely. Shouldn't be to bad. Get like a messenger bag, some buckles and such, and some leather needles for your sewing machine and go crazy. Or drive yourself insane hand sewing it.

Does any1 in Massachusetts know any place where I can find the green kimono that Haku wears? Any thrift stores that sells the green cloth? I know that ebay sells the entire outfit, but I'm low on cash, so I'm thinking about making it myself. Any help will be appreciated.

Just make it yourself. That's what I did... er... Got my mom to do.
I would like a Sand village headband. A Mist village one, too. I actually like the headbands sold at Hot Topic. They don't look bulky like these other headbands I saw.

For the naruto headband you can just go to amazon.com or ebay. They have different colored ones from each village.

but it only cost like $8 to make one...plus just the fact that you made one instead of buying one is cooler...here's the how to i said i would post. i had writen it for a cosplay letter for anizona that's going to take a wile to start up...
A GUIDE TO THE HOME MADE
NARUTO HEADBAND
With AniZona around the corner, cosplayers are working to get their costumes done and perfect, and that means, all the accessories need to be completed. When considering if you want to buy a Naruto headband, we look at prices around $25 or $30 (well that’s what I found when I was looking for one) and don’t forget that shipping cost (add $6) and tax which can add up to $40 or so. Why waste valuable money when you can make one for like $8! Plus you can have the satisfaction of telling people you were one of the few who actually made their own headband!
Step one: Get the correct fabric color in the appropriate length; I used a double layer of heavier cotton. Remember to measure your head before you go to the store and add on an extra six inches for some of it to show, and I recommend getting the fabric at Wal-Mart where you can get the fabric for like $2.29 a yard. And then head over to Joann’s where you should look for furniture bolts (make sure you have a GOOD pair of pliers that can cut wire) and craft tin (it can be cut with a good pair of scissors) or if you don’t find it there, look at Home Depot for small sheets of sheet metal (I think it comes in a little box the size you want.)
Step two: Lay out the fabric and figure out how thick you want the band and leave an extra ½ inch for seams. Cut the fabric to the pre-determined length and make the edges slant out like a right triangle. Next take your iron and press your seams under on the headband so that there are no rough edges, now you can either sew them shut or hot glue them (I was too lazy and glued them.) Also I actually made mine double the width I wanted it and hot glued the top and the bottom together in the middle (if you do that remember to fold the fabric under where they meet) but do which ever you please.
Step three: Now if you got a hold of craft tin, make on a separate sheet of paper a rough example of how long and tall you want your metal part to be so you’re not experimenting on the tin, and then cut the tin. If you got sheet metal, it should be the appropriate length all ready. Now that it’s cut out get your furniture bolts and pliers, cut off the nail part as close to the head as you can with your pliers. Do that six times and get your hot glue gun. Although you cut it the closest you could, I know that it still won’t sit flat so you will have to put lot of glue in the hollow head and put it carefully on the metal where you want it and also so that it balances. Do that five more times.
Step four: Now get your sharpie and draw on the appropriate symbol (practice on a separate sheet first) but if you screw up you should be able to remove it with acetone nail polish remover. Now hot glue the metal on to the fabric (if it doesn’t stay, try super glue.)
Step five: Now go to the con proud! Tell every one you meet that you made your own Naruto headband!

Yeah we make my Naruto headbands too. My dad does all the metal work with aluminum for me and I do all the fabric stuff. My first few have been glued together but we're gonna get a riveter soon^^ So much nicer to make one's own headband, costs me $5.
