This will be by no means the Definitive Arrow thread but my conglomeration of close enough after pestering Pender91 and the other Emerald Archers.
The green hoodie is a Hanes Forest Green Comfort Blend Ecosmart from Walmart and gray sweatpants Champion from Target. It was inspired from the S4 E1 "Green Arrow" opening.
The correct hood is double seamed 'this is not' and the pull cord should be a darker green or black more like a shoe string.
The gloves are the correct 511 tactical gloves Id'ed in the definitive thread. They are easily found on Amazon and I wear them almost daily for work.
Not pictured, but I have the incorrect Nike jungle boots that have a similar tread to the proper free runners 2. They are a great boot but super expensive considering they are not all leather.
The base for the bow is the long identified 2013 Ragin Matrix Jr 48” Right Hand 24#. It is still available for sale and can be bought for just less than $100 if you shop around.
I plan to use the bow so function needs to be maintained. I may make fake limbs like Tvayumat so that it can also be displayed strung. I will be using Tvayumat’s rune pattern from the Definitive Arrow build for the markings on the grip.
For the still unidentified hardware, I thought I’d be cleaver and find the proper screen used nuts and washers in Vancouver. That is where filming is so perhaps I could find the elusive and up to this point custom “limited run” metric acorn nuts. Home hardware, Rona, and so many others …… nope.
I settled on:
(2x) Hillman 5/16 Brass Washers, 491432, 20158, lot # 2981092
(2x) Everbilt Stainless Cap Nut M8-1.25, 649939
(1x) Crownbolt Brass Cap Nut 5/16-18, 19098
(2x) Hillman Hex Cap Screws M8-1.25 x 50, 880683, lot# HO2313926
The Everbuilt is taller than the Crownbolt but is the wrong material. But the above info should help fill the gap until the correct parts are identified but considering all the work over the years, that may remain a mystery.
The straight chock is the 6” SeaDog Stainless Steel that requires repainting.
My 6” brass strap hinges are Whitecap Polished Brass 6” Strap Hinge S-605BC for $16 but not the correct shape when compared to the SeaDog 6” hinges at about $34. The correct hinges are on backorder. 4 to 6 weeks.
The artificial sinew is a no name brand from India that I ordered from Amazon.
Spent the money for the Brooks Leather Bar Tape, Honey, BT 02 A07203, 600001.
