Where would I find a black fedora and black sunglasses for a Blues Brothers costume by Saturday morning?
My friend and I are going as Jake and Elwood but we haven't found a hat or sunglasses yet.
How best can we track some down before Saturday without paying $85 for shipping?
Are there any department store that carry black fedoras on a regular basis?

Response by poster: I live in DC so I'm sure there are a TON of stores around.

You should be able to buy a pair of cheap-o fake Ray-bans from a street vendor.

I've seen this specific costume in most of the seasonal Halloween stores I've been in.

If all else fails, check Target. They have been selling cheap fedoras in the guys section for a while, and you can probably find the fake Wayfarers in the accessories area.

assuming you're in the U.S.
Or Canada. One a block from my house in Calgary and they do indeed have Blues Brothers stuff.

The temporary Halloween stores (Spirit of Halloween, Halloween City, etc.) by me on Long Island have tons of cheapo felt hats - I think I've seen a fedora among them. And cheapo sunglasses.
