The Definitive Marvel's Daredevil thread

[kw1968]

dI have looked at a lot of photos and I have gone through the series a couple times now lol. I noticed they use 3 different shirts. Two of the shirts are mcdavid ,the 8800 and the 8840.The 3rd is just an all black one that could also be a mcdavid. as for the M on the chest im pretty sure they remove it
8800 the two red stitch lines go up the torso then join at the arm pit itself

8840the gray stitch lines go up the torso until they curve joining together about 3/4 and then continue until reaching the torso

black one

I see ZERO hex pattern in that stock photo of the 8800 on the sides of the torso.


Anyone here actually have one?

You're right there are no hexagons on the side according to the image

Again, as with a marker, blood would not turn black stitching red.

Even if they used some kind of opaque pigment for blood, it would then show up on the shirt also.

Matt, the stitching on the 8840R is light grey/white!

Thank you everyone for your diligent research and updates to this! This site claims to have the McDavid 8840 in multiple sizes available.

Yup I recommended it a few pages up and bought it there

Is the stitching gray for those of you with the shirt? And if so doesn't that mean the red would show as opposed to on a black trim

Oops! Sorry IndridColdx.... I guess I missed that. My bad!

No worries!
I had the dude working the customer service chat actually check and they confirmed that the shirt itself was indeed the 8840R from the box and confirmed hexagons

This is actually the packaging for my 8840R from earlier in the thread - you can see the model number and proper product picture on the package:

In the interest of nailing down the boots, I think can also confirm now that the hero boots are Bates model E02261:





Sometimes it looks like the non-zip variant (which can be found on Amazon) might be used as a stunt pair, but they're not actually less expensive if you shop around for the side-zip version. Here's the shot that makes me think these might be used on the show, but you can clearly see the zipper in one of the above screengrabs:

Have you ever tried real gold frames? The rolled 14k white gold(gold filled) frame with rhodium plating would hold up much better than the metal used in most frames. They're also easy to polish, although it wouldn't be as bright white after the rhodium wore off.

The last pair I purchased was the panto in rhodium with chestnut coverings and the bridge still looks good five years later. Granted, I have way too many glasses so they don't get daily wear.

Having started rewatching the series, there is definitely a split along the bridge. Noticeable in the first confession scene and later during the first interview with Karen.

Be seeing you,

For those keeping track, I'm pretty certain the specific screen-used armbands are McDavid 651/E90771.

It can be tough to lock these down with the tops and bottoms obscured. The older McDavid 651R will also look the part - I have them in hand. There's an old-style McDavid logo on an extension of elastic that would sit beneath the elbow pad. The E90771 has just the short elastic hem at the top and the updated McDavid "M-HEX" icon stamped at the wrist. That's actually a much easier location to cover (they do it with the wrist straps) and keep covered than elastic overlapping at the elbow joint. Perhaps most telling though, the E90771 is from the same product lineup/era as the 8840R shirt, 6515 elbow pads, and 513 wrist straps. The "M-HEX" logotype is the same used on the elbow inseam, and the packaging is alike for all of these products.

EDIT: Looks like the R is still associated with the 651 - it hasn't changed since the older version. E90771 is just Epic Sports' inventory number. The 651 is what you're looking for, but look for the contemporary version of it. M-hex logotype at the wrist! One way to be pretty safe if ordering online is to order directly from McDavid. You'll pay a few dollars more but know you're getting the current sleeves.

I agree in some early shots it appears to be there but then this screen cap from the second bench meeting with the priest it appears to be just glare, more uneven than the apparent groove from earlier scenes. I'm slowly going back through the other episodes.

That bridge is basically as reflective in a mirror. I can see a boom pole creating a "groove" or a cameraman creating this center blob quite easily. I think it's smooth/curved.

Thank you for the breakdown, and additional confirmation.

I doubled checked my first post and I already had each of those model numbers associated with each item.

Awesome - hadn't been back to the first page in a while!

 

[The NZ Ninja]

Just purchased the Shirt, Elbow Hexpads, Forearm Hexpads and Wrist Supports. Cost me $200 NZD all up but hopefully it'll be worth it, and the two week wait. I got everything in a small size so I'll be sure to upload some pictures for anyone who may have the same body size as myself for some reference shots if anyone is unsure about sizing.

On top of the amazingness of Daredevil being confirmed for a season 2...here's a great shot of the red suit

 

[Scouser]

At one point early on in this thread I mentioned how the black suit changed through the series. I know the gloves changed by show 2, maybe 3... Seems to be a lot of disagreement over shirts.....so I offer an article about the black suit evolving through the series. Maybe it will help people feel better about their choices in addition to knowing there is more than one correct version.
