Porky Pigging It?

(Title based on this PvP comic)
So I have a totally weird hang up I'm trying to get over. Well, I'm sure I have a few but this is about a very specific one.
When I first built my WulfBane suit, it was specifically to be the werewolf form of my Steampunk character. The thing is I have a bit of a modesty issue, so as a "civilized were" I also made red "werewolf pants" for WulfBane to wear. It was kind of required for that first version though because WulfBane's legs were a separate piece from his torso and I would use the pants to hide that.
But now I have a single piece body suit. It took me a bit but I did eventually muster up enough guts to go out suiting as a "naked" WulfBane when going out as kind of a generic look. But the cosplayer in me likes it even more to come up with and have a costume for WulfBane to wear, especially when it plays into the theme of an event. That's where things like the Steampunk and Ren Faire versions of WulfBane come in.
But the thing is, I still end up putting pants back on WulfBane. I kind of feel like I need to get over pants being required for when WulfBane does cosplay and turn it into more of an optional thing. I mean, the way I took the full suit WulfBane to the Ren Faire, it did feel cartoon character appropriate to include pants since I also wore my toe boots and had my sword harness & shield but no doublet or vest or anything as a top.
But what I'm trying to build the courage up for is to go "Porky Pigging it" with vest but no pants. I think it would be more comfortable and I wouldn't have to worry about a sweaty butt getting my suit all matted and smooshed when sitting.
So yeah, this is mainly a post where I'm typing this all out to try to psych myself up. This weekend is Wild West Con at Old Tucson Studios, and while I'm going to be doing the human form of Col. WulfBane on Friday, Saturday is going to have "were-WulfBane" out and about including being up on stage for the Steampunk Fassion Show.
And hopefully I can sing along proudly to this while I'm out there.

Well, as long as you don't show any bulges , tight buns and visible genitals, I think you will be fine as a "naked" werewolf.
