Recently re-watched Daredevil and loved it even more a second time around! With that being said I really liked the first suit because it felt very practical for the situation. A blind man wouldn't really care about how flashy and nice his suit looked, he would only care about hiding his true identity. This suit had the feel of a cheap suit used to solely be used for concealing Matt's persona and for mobility. I just didn't like how it was black. I understand it was inspired by Frank Miller's DD, it just felt too batman to me, plus all my friends along with just a lot of people do this black suit, so I wanted to stand out a bit. I decided to design a kind of merge between the classic DD red suit, and the black suit from the show. Here is a concept sketch of the suit I had in mind. (not really suit more like shirt and mask) The intended for the mask and the shirt to be red. Sorry for all the pics they posted sideways for some reason.
I had thought about the mask and felt like the horns being inside of the mask would look cool.
Here is the shirt i ordered from amazon. This shirt is also available in black and a lot of people who have done the black suit have used this shirt.

This shirt literally fits like a glove and actually makes me look more muscular than I really am which is a plus. Must warm that it is incredibly tight and small so order a size up.
For the mask I am using a red doorag I found on amazon and I made horns out of foam to put inside the mask once it arrives.

The sticks I got from amazon also, they are like the ones used in the show, just wooden dowels (pack comes with three). These sticks are great but a little short in my opinion, I'm considering waiting them. My sister will be sewing a little side holster to place the my leg when not using the sticks.

That's all I have right now. Given I already have combat boots, now i must look for combat gloves, and black cargo pants, which shouldn't be too difficult. Please leave any suggestions or comments on what you think and I will update as soon as I have more too show. Thanks for checking out my thread!
