So I settle for the fun t-shirt route at conventions (etc.). This year at Denver Comic Con was a payoff for something I did back at Christmas: a personalized matching set of Teefury Doctor Who "playing card" tees, with myself wearing Nine (http://goo.gl/MMkFII), Kay Ten (http://goo.gl/9GUCOI), and Margie Captain Jack (http://goo.gl/WhX3kP). We got a number of complements on the individual shirts, which were then echoed when folks realized the family was wearing them.
I have a great pairing t-shirt for Sunday with Margie, but she was under the weather. So I settled for my "Evil League of Evil" tee, and suspenders to hold a variety of buttons, including a small SHIELD logo button that, when I embraced someone, I could flip around and show the [Hail] Hydra button on the reverse side of the suspender.

So you’re not into cosplay. Whether you’re not comfortable in a costume or you’re just out of costumes to wear, if you’re here you’ve decided to wear a T-shirt to the Con. Here’s how:
I used to have a Star Trek (TOS) science officer's uniform. I picked up a phaser, communicator, and tricorder at cons to augment it. Sadly, I outgrew it (more sadly, horizontally).
I would wear superhero tees until I discovered Hyperbole and a Half. Then I wore some of Allie Brosh's shirts, and was gratified to have people come up to me to talk about our love of her blog.
Now I've become a Fallout fanatic, and I had a friend's seamstress mother make me a Vault 21 jumpsuit. I bought some props to go with it, and am going to start work on a PipBoy (but that will be hard and it daunts me, so I'm putting it off while I try painting miniatures for some of my board games). At ECCC this year, I ran into three Vault 101 dwellers. (I picked Vault 21 because it would fit on my license plate.)
P.S. You misspelled "compliments."
