Just thought i be sharing this, but that's what the RPF is for. I aint a paragraph kinda person, coz i speak in statements and point form, but not in real life. This is not an exact replica but its how i see it. I identify the key traits of the character costume and make sure it is there on my redesigned version. This is a project both TestEagle Cosplay and i put together. I'm on design, and he does the magic. This was a 4-5 month communicated project of bouncing ideas.
After identifying the key traits of the costume, i thought the following:
My end decision:
Then i came up with this design:
then i thought, it's armor. I needed some raised areas. Then came up with this. Note the blue zones as these pieces are raised.
I had a theory that the suit was actually a single 2 piece, with top and pants. But when i saw Captain America from Age of Ultron .. to me, Cap looked like he was wearing an undersuit and armor pieces get attached over. Kinda. But that was how i saw it. What if the undersuit, i designed could be used to buff out key muscles like the biceps (and i aint built, i'm just a regular asian sized male).
From this angle of Daredevil, it does kind of look like an armored vest with an inner layer.
So after all that, i decided with the following:
** Buckles from Nova Props - These will be glued onto actual buckles.
After that, had to build the gauntlets. Made with foam, PVC sheets and rubber sheets. I wanted something i could wear over long gloves.

Then 3-4 months later with the magic of TestEagle ..
.. and i am reaching my post picture limit. So this is a video i made to show how the suit looks like on me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJKWhLguEK4

After identifying the key traits of the costume, i thought the following:
- I dont like sweating
- i need to breath and be flexible
- a full one piece suit can be a death sentence (human steam cooker marinated in sweat)
My end decision:
- Elbow long sleeves
- Vest that can be padded
- Pants just slightly pass the knee
- if my limbs are aired, the skin can breath, i sweat less

So after all that, i decided with the following:
- armored vest with side zips and zip near the neck
- inner layer that buffs out the bicep muscles
- pants
- helmet/cowl (from the RPF, TheRocketeer)
- holster (leather and heavy industrial elastics)
- gauntlets (foam and rubber sheets with elastic straps)
- Riding thigh boots or ankle boots
- Riding chaps
- Stormtrooper undersuit
- Balaclava
- Elbow/Knee Pads
- Gloves that go to the wrist
- Sticks (from the RPF too)
- Buckles (RPF NovaProps)
