Definitive Clockwork Orange Costume

[mrsmartypants]

the boots he found are spot on they were either US paratrooper or RAF paratrooper boots that have a cap toe but no steel toe and a zipper up the side


the wig and Maskie look awesome Darren!

In the military, these boots are referred to as "Jump Boots." Paratroopers of course wear them, but so do a lot of non-jumpers and they can be found at many military base clothing stores. If you are still in need of some, I may be able to help...I'm not in the military anymore, but I have some friends that still are. Some of us used to wear patent leather Jump Boots when we really wanted to look top notch. :love

The codpeice is finally taking shape.

I was thinking it would be funny to have a speaker system in it playing the film soundtrack on a loop.

Looking good.

I love the speaker idea!

Just hope the vibrations don't give you a "you know what"

 

[NoTsOsErIoUs]

Ha! well if they do the cod should cover it.

for a little culture lesson
an Irish Black thorn cane is known as a Shillelagh (shi-LAY-la)

and along with being used as a walking stick, they were also used to beat people

and if you remember, Alex's had a knife in the handle

and a suggestion for the wig, teas it a bit, his hair has a bit of a curl to it

 

[NoTsOsErIoUs]

Well you're sort of right.
The Shillelagh historically is a different shape than a conventional walking stick.
The English banned the carrying of Shillelagh. So the Irish lengthened the Blackthorn and carried them as walking sticks or Bata stick which is Gaelic for fighting stick, as the English could not outlaw the carrying of a walking stick.
There's a system of Irish stick fighting.

Here's a close up showing the mask and cuffs better

I'm still hopeful for a photoshoot using the existing original movie locations in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Tiberius Kirk]

You even have it right down to the different colored eyes on the cuffs.

Great job!

Post it up Droogie! lets 'av a viddy.

My Alex shirt is a vintage western shirt with the collar removed and re-stitched. It has the front and back yoke and pointed pocket flaps like the movie one. Only thing it lacks is the 3 button cuff, mine only has two.

Off topic, but the Joker clothes were custom made. The shirt was from Kwally's run here on the RPF and the tie is IndyMagnoli's. There's a Joker costume thread somewhere on the boards.

Yes, I;m in the process of making an Alex Costume myself and slowly getting all the clothes and accessories together. I have ordered some eyes already, but those look great. I would very interested in purchasing some please. Do they sow on the shirt cuff? Are the eyes already attached to the white cloth? Do the eyes have a flat back?
Please tell me how much they are and I shall purchase a pair. I am living in Sydney , Australia so I guess you have to tell me how much shipping would be.
Thanks
