Great! So here we go...
The Bow:
We've identified the bow as the
PSE X-Force Super Short Short Draw (2008 model). Unfortunately it's a royal pain to find.
If you want something nearly identical though, you can go with any of the PSE X-Force SS models, or even the X-Force Treestand (grip is different, but easily removed and you can put the other grips on since they're sticky pads). They pop up on Ebay ranging from roughly $400+
The Gloves:
Much easier to find! The gloves are made by 5.11 and are their Tactical ATAC gloves. You can pick up a pair on Amazon for about $50. Only thing they did to them for the show was to remove the small rubber 5.11 logo.
The Boots:
Here's another part of the costume that's going to have you looking for a while. The boots they use are made by Harley Davidson and the model is called Choker. Unfortunately, these are also an older model (2011) and were supposedly a Harley dealer exclusive. They retailed for $130. So far, the only pair I've come across were the ones I bought for myself on Ebay (which thankfully, were the right size!).
For the show, they covered up the silver Harley logo on the top strap, and buffed off the Harley Davidson name on the side and front metal bits. I'm pretty sure they covered up the Harley Davidson name on the back/side of the top strap too.
Belts:
We've gone with a 1.5" size for the main belts, and then used a 1" to weave through it. For the one I made, I had 2" of weave, then 1" space (where the rivets or Chicago screws go), then repeat. The buckles on the show are rectangular.
The Costume:
For the costume itself, I had a chance to talk to John Barrowman about it at a convention recently and asked him some details about it. The coat is leather and they just distressed the hell out of it. I'm still in the process of making mine (nearly done! Woo!), but there are no buttons, zippers, etc on it.
Now comes the fun part because apparently the League of Assassins is really into layers!
You start with a dickie to get the mock turtleneck look. This was confirmed by John and he said that he wears his with a t-shirt beneath it. I'm going with an Under Armour shirt because... yeah. This outfit is going to be HOT. Literally!
On top of the dickie/t-shirt is a long sleeved Tai Chi/Kung Fu shirt. You can find them all over the internet.
And on top of that, there's a
black judo gi jacket. Make sure you get the one with the diamond weave skirt. Do not get a Jiu Jitsu gi jacket because the lapels will be way too thick. John confirmed that they removed the sleeves for his, as well as for all of the other League costumes.
Here's our lovely model Al-Owal to show off the layered look we just discussed:
The arm guard and the panels on the jacket use the same material/pattern. It's embossed leather in a basket weave pattern that's been dyed black. This stuff was harder to find that anticipated and we couldn't find a place to order it in small amounts. However, it does turn up on Ebay from time to time.
