Buying Black Panther cosplay for hospital visits

Hi all! Not a cosplayer, but I am in charge of a student-run nonprofit that visits kids at our local hospital as superheroes and princesses. I’m looking for a Black Panther cosplay for one of our new volunteers. Here is what we would need:
1. As realistic as possible. We want to make sure our costumes are real-looking so the kiddos can’t tell the difference and think the real T’Challa is visiting them!
2. Somewhat cheap. We have a relatively small budget, but could probably swing $800-$1200. Since we are volunteer run though, as cheap as possible is best
3. Durable. They will be used almost weekly, so need to be durable or repairable
4. Shipping to Canada. That’s where we are located!

What are good places to get this cosplay specifically? I have seen some options from ProCosplay and Takerlama, but not sure if they are reliable

Contact the r/501st. They have decades of experience with creating costumes and volunteer work. They don't just do stormtroopers, many of those friendly neighborhood lunatics create other costumes, all of them with movie quality and accuracy in mind.
