Since I haven't been on here in awhile and didn't see any post about this costume, I figured Id post about my progress for the character. Wanted to do this character since I saw the movie and started ordering pieces for it to mod and use for the costume.
The costume consists of a few components but Mostly was made Custom for the movie as confirmed by the costume designer for Suicide Squad on Twitter. Some of the items are as follows:
First thing I wanted to tackle was the Boomerang catchers glove he wears, seeing its a mix between a Butchers glove and a Leather glove, I decided to use both for the construction. I cant take credit for the idea as Cosplay Chris did it first on Youtube....and I just expanded on the idea. First thing was to Cut the fingers off the glove and the Thumb and the hem on the bottom, and also the back of the hand section (side not if making remember to keep thumb as the tip portion will be glued to glove) The base glove used was a Lamont work glove from Wal Mart.
Next Was to Add the Leather strips and stitch the areas of the glove, Also added extra leather pieces to match the actual glove from the movie.
Lastly got my Butchers metal chain mail glove in, fitting the leather glove over it wasnt too bad. A little snug, BUT turned out nicely
Next thing I had ordered was the Tank top, Various Chains, And Earring. The Fatter Chain that has diamonds is called a Miami Cuba chain I got a 30" chain, the smaller chain is Byzantine Box chain I got a 26" chain for this, and the Tank top is a Aeropostale Heathered Tank Might be harder to find since they are discontinued I think. The Earring was a random online find
I ordered the Coat And Jacket from a Ebay Seller Dubai Leathers I plan on modding and weathering it like crazy. They have a deal for both jackets and I couldnt pass that up, seeing as the sleeves for the 'Captain' Jacket are probably going to get cut off for heat purposes, and the outer coat is going to get thrashed by me. If you guys saw my Bane post a long time ago weathering is my jam. Will update when Jackets come in this week!
The pants are the hardest thing to find something close because all the hipster jeans are skinny, and for a normal human being like me I gotta be cautious of them, ordered from Ebay seller Your-Need and will be dyed darker and weathered accordingly.
The boots are Doc Marten AirWare 14 eyelet boots which was a easy ID at SDCC when they had the costume on display, I scored a pair of these for $35 on ebay. Will update with pics of boots when actually home
I found a awesome dude on Etsy making Vinyl wraps for Cans that Are the Exact print as the Gurglers beer that Boomerang chugs, seems to have his store down right now but his username is RizaAu
Also found another seller making accurate boomerangs on Etsy as well, I was going to make these myself but got lazy and just ordered from this guy his username is RaptorProps
Lastly the thing that bothered me the most, the Breitling Watch, its a Bentley model that retails for about $5000-$10,000 Finding a replica was sorta easy though and a few of the replica shops have a exact copy seen from this photo
one of the places is here http://www.ereplicaswiss.com/Breitl...d-Beze;-White-Face-Quartz-Chrono-Replica.html
And Bonus for Pinky the unicorn, I think the production used this Plush and modded it to not look the same as the one manufactered
