It'll still be a while before I actually start working on this, but out of boredom I started buying materials for it. First I bought the cotton canvas for the doublet:

Then came the thin cotton shirting and the perfect color blue linen for the waistcoat (I have tons of white linen left over from Altair and my friend's Prince of Persia, so hopefully one of those will work for the rest of the waistcoat):

For the pants, I looked for a while for white linen with a faint stripe, but wasn't having any luck. I found this grey/black linen at Jo-Ann and thought I might be able to use Rit color remover to leach out just enough to make it look right, but it faded out to this almost instantly, so no go.

And lastly, I just got a pair of hidden blade gauntlets. (If anybody wants just the "leather" gauntlet pieces, let me know. I'm making mine from real leather.)

My next step is collecting my flintlocks over time. Together the weapons are the most expensive part of this build.
First, I've just ordered this one, which is one of two guns that they modeled the artwork directly off of.
Italian Pirate Replica Brass Flintlock Non-Firing Gun-Replica Weaponry
I haven't been able to find the other gun they used with the dragon or lizard head on the butt. The second gun I plan to buy is here, because of it's similarities to the gun they keep sticking me with whenever they take away my golden pistols when I replay a memory, and also because it's the nicest looking of the Denix flintlocks.

And the other two are different just for the variety. 4 different guns was more fun than a matching set:
Replica 18TH Century English Antique Grey Blunderbuss Non-Firing Replica-Replica Weaponry
18TH Century European Flintlock Pistol Replica-Replica Weaponry
I plan to make the blow pipe on the lathe at work and engrave it with the rotary attachment on a laser cutter, but the swords are holding me up a little. Ideally, I'd like to find real metal replicas for the hilts, but remove the blades and replace them with something con safe. Short of spending $100+ per sword, I haven't found many decent looking hilts yet.
