Orc costumes dont cost a lot of money. To make them, it costs you just a little time and handywork. And they get better the older they are.
Go for a look that makes you broader.
Add rags, fur, more fur, some others animal fur, old leather pieces, maille and else, like old metal plates you find somewhere in your garage. Rivet all together, sew something, or just bind it with leather strings.
In a "chaotic" look that looks like it was hacked together from whatever source. Then add dirt. And rust. And bloodstains. Bones attached that you find somewhere, or dont throw away from the last T-Bone Steak you ate, maybe "clan-signs" (like the white hand that the uruks have in LotR.). Give it a "used" look. Build the costume, then attach it to your car, tow it through a gravel pit, kick it, let a football team train on it, throw it in a puddle, let it dry and dust it off again....
Oh, and make it asymetric. Humans, Elves and the lot have "planned" Armour and clothing. Orcs take whatever they can get.
Next is: If you use a mask, try everything that people dont see where the mask ends. Paint yourself. Wear something around your throat. The less "real" skin people see, the better is your look. Most players i know glue a beard over the half-face masks, like Wolverines side-burns and add some hair to the forehead part of the mask to camouflage the part where the mask is glued to your face and where your real hair begins (and where you definitly dont want to have something glued to).
Here some example pics from german and netherland orc players. As you can see - not one costume is the same like the other. Nothing off the shelf. Some armour part here, some there, different style armour extremely cheap from Ebay, Amazon or India Copycat Trash (Depeeka), many many layers.
Go with the idea of what you remember from MadMax and make it somewhat Fantasy.
All you need is leather-trash, fur-pieces, rivets, leather strings, asymetric metal part litter and maybe an old outdated football protection kit.
