Making your own Blues Brothers costume is exceptionally easy. Once you have the black suit and necktie the black sunglasses is what will make this costume instantly recognisable. Here is everything you will need to make your own homemade Blues Brothers costume.

Blues Brothers Shirt

The next item of clothing you will need is a button down formal style shirt.
