I am trying to put this costume together for my local convention that will be held in Galveston TX. For those of you who are not familiar with the Assassins Creed Franchise this person is the new lead character for the latest installment in the game series. The latest game centers around pirates. So what better venue to debut a pirate cosplay than at a convention held across from the beach!

So I am looking for any and all help with resources, reference photos, existing tutorials for parts that I can use (hidden blade etc..). I am having a particularly hard time with the boots. Anyone who has done pirate costumes in the past if you know of a good source for boots that match the ones in these pictures as closely as possible that doesn't break the bank.

I provided what reference photos I could find below. I also have a opinion question about the harness/vest he is wearing. Does it look like leather or some sort of suede cause it doesn't look like typical leather to me. Any leather alternative suggestions will be greatly appreciated as well.

We made the CG version to look like leather, but then again we never have to care about how it'd work in real life...
 
Minor update:

Working on the Hidden blade at the moment. Starting with a craft foam shape which I am currently making a silicone mold of. Ill then cast a body filler solid out of that mold. I will shape and smooth that further (since craft foam doesn't shape well) and then once I have it the way I want it I will create a new final mold that I can slushcast two identical hidden blade "shells" out of. These will fit over the mechanism which will be attached to a bottom plate. Will post pics soon.
 
Th' leather looks to resemble how a WWII leather Aviator bomber jacket looks hope that helps. I look forward ta see your progress on this keep up th' good work.:popcorn
 
Thanx DarkVenom, just tryin' ta help you could say that I have an eye for detail only when I use my nogin' though lol!!!! Do ya have a build thread? never mind found it.:rolleyes nobodydysktr, can't wait ta see those hidden blades keep up th' good work.:popcorn
