This is a Sea Captain costume I did three years ago, before I actually started smoking a pipe. I just wore my Navy pea coat, a fake beard, I wrapped a white t-shirt around my neck as an ascot and wore a pair of khakis.

Some friends of ours had their annual Halloween party a little early this year (to accommodate everyone's schedule), with a "Haunted Mine" theme - so I raided my Steampunk wardrobe for the "Old West" bits, cobbled together a fake miner's lamp and strapped it to my cowboy hat, then added a (so far) unsmoked cob pipe.
I'd go for the generic sea captain. Some of the personalities would be hard to capture. Or Sherlock Holmes, if you
can get the deer stalker hat and cape. McArthur might work, if you have the height and somewhat angular face
to pull it off; otherwise, I'm not sure people would pick up on who it is, tall corncob pipe or not. Stalin was such
a peculiar presence, he would be hard to "do." I think he started life training as a priest, before he started having
people killed in large numbers.

Here's a cheap one. You already have the costume and, I presume, a pipe. Soooo, I suggest going as a nudist who just happens to smoke a pipe. I suppose a "pipe purse" hanging over the shoulder for tool, pipe tool that is, tobacco and cleaners could be optional if you are shy.
hahaha waren but people might be intimidated when they see the big italian sausage I carry :lol: 8O
plus their are those pesky laws against indecent exposure , and other crimes that would make me have to register as a sex offender, and I really don't want that
Well, there are those petty concerns, sure! Do as I suggest and maybe the state will provide you with an orange jumpsuit could wear to the party next year. Should you be invited back of course.
I reread the original post. Is the costume for a party amongst friends or co-workers? Or, will you greeting the little tykes with their bags at your door?

Well this costume will get multiple uses From a family party then a party my fiancee is throwing a party and probably will wear it for trick or treater's
Well, the casket idea is gone, unless your friends are gluttons for punishment. No nudity unless your family is very different from what mine was.
Just go with the pipe and explain that you are the last in a line of people who were once allowed to eat what they wanted, smoke in a bar, chat up a co-worker without have to then attend classes on sexual harassment in the workplace. A time when cars were big, heavy, comfortable to ride in and sucked gas that only cost pennies for a gallon. Bicycles were for kids, teenage boys wore a duck's butt on their head and girls had poodles on their dresses.
I could go on I suppose. Just tell them that you are from the past . . . when life was good!
I suppose the the Old Salt is as good an idea as any!
