Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Desmond

Risu

I used the search but didn't find any posts where anybody had actually done it. Has anybody here ever made Desmond's hoodie from AC: Brotherhood? I saw one on Etsy, but it's got the wrong symbol and the sold out Ubisoft one looks like a joke, despite the quality embroidery on the back. After playing through the first two games really quickly the last couple of weeks, I just started Brotherhood tonight and loved the new design. It'll be a while before I can get around to making an Altair costume, so I think this is a good project to hold me over. It is pretty difficult to find good photo reference, though. I've managed to piece together the front, hood, and upper back from screen grabs, promo art, and the licensed hoodie (with a grain of salt). Does anybody have any idea what the lower back looks like?

go to UbiWorkshop | Home they're currently sold out but will re-stock them sometime soon

Aside from the embroidery, that one looks terrible. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for a hoodie that's that inaccurate.

But anyways, I've sort of dropped this project. Working on my Altair now, and I probably wouldn't choose the Desmond hoodie over my Fett hoodie very often anyways.

There was a lady on Etsy that made an incredible (no seriously, breathtaking) version of it when the game was new. To my knowledge she only made one, and I think she dropped the Etsy account because of the insane traffic of requests she was getting after that.

If it's the same one I saw, it looked nice except that the embroidery was a kind of poorly done applique. Otherwise, I think the seams were all mostly correct. I think a couple might have been different on the hood, but I can't remember.

i bought the Ubiworkshop version and it is actually a very nice hoodie. don't know how you can call it inaccurate when they made desmond a digital reality, they have the best reference material available. they stitching on the back it top notch and the seams on the hoodie are all bang on what you can see in the game.

Just because the developers made the character doesn't mean whoever they farmed the construction of the hoodies out to will get them right. The seams are good and the embroidery is excellent, it's the small details and construction that fell short.
