It is possible to get a motley and coxcomb from a place like an antique shop. Some pawn shops may even have something to suit your needs. These are older dress pieces.
Check with your local Rennaisance fair group or medieval enactment group. They will know where to get a really good motley and coxcomb. Failing that, check with your local theatre group.

My husband tore the meniscus in both knees. He had surgery on one, then instead of having surgery on the second hisDoctor suggested the coxcomb injections. This was about 18 months ago, and he has been virtually pain free since. In fact the knee without the surgery has done better. We were told that it may or may not help, but decided it was worth trying. He has been on of the lucky ones if has worked well for. I do know that if the pain returns you can have the injections once of year.
A "coxcomb" is a part of a cockerel. Many people believethat cockerels are stupid and lack substance. It is said that its comb is to give the impression that is important and majestic, however all it really does is hide the fact that it doesn't really deserve any merit. By comparingPetruchioto a cockerel, Katherina is saying that underneath his disguise of sophisticated language and quick witted nature he is actually stupid and pathetic. She argues that he is undeserving of any real honour and should only be accredited for his skill in hiding his useless interior. She also makes him fully aware that she is not deceived by his acting and she can see right through his shell to the coward within.
Capulet calls Tybalt a "princox". The OED says it means "a pert, saucy, boy or youth" which you can get from the context. It also says it means the same as a "coxcomb" which suggests that it comes from the strutting, arrogant behaviour of roosters.
