Daredevil Netflix costume research thread (black)

Re: daredevil Netflix costume

I looked for ribbed cotton then was going to use a pin to make very small holes for better visibility
What boots did you go with I'm gonna need a similar set for my red suit

I ended up going for these.
They arent really screen accurate, but look good enough

Re: daredevil Netflix costume

Actually I will post everything I bought:


These are the Hexpad Armbands. There are some hexpad arm bands but they are small and only cover a small amount of fore-arm. The costume itself looks like it covers his entire forearm so I went with these. Cost 20$ on Amazon.ca

These boots actually look quite cool, not screen accurate but close enough. These will also serve me in case in need them. Cost 45$ free shipping on Aliexpress

These gloves look really cool, they have some sort of mesh looking thing. Again, not screen accurate, but have the knuckle guards and are dirt cheap. cost 5$ free shipping on AliExpress

Which brings me to the compression shirt which is arguably the weakest link. It has some big text over it, not sure how to cover this...spray paint? The red is pretty good, and appears stiched, just like the one in the show. Cost: 8$ free shipping on Aliexpress.

As for pants, I already have black Chinos that look perfect for the suit which I got from Uniqlo when I visited the states.

Just need to find a way to make the mask

From what I have been hearing the one I posted before that was on Amazon has sold out in various sizes. Guess the grape vine is saying it's the same shirt. Not sure if it's true or not. And no logos to worry about either

Decided to rename this as a Research thread for the black suit

 

[STARL0RD]

Hey Bro, looking great so far, had a question though do you mind if I borrow some reference pictures? I am also working on this and having a hard time finding reference picture

I believe so. When they hit the ground in the show they make a very wooden sound

 

[RA24_4_Me]

Definitely wood.

I think another big challenge is going to be the holster. It seems to be custom (ie. 2 slots instead of one). Cant seem to find any online. Might have to improvise.
Saw some "nerf holsters" on etsy that can look like they hold 2

 

[sp1derman]

All it is is a simple holster with 2 pieces of elastic that go around the leg and a clip to the belt you can see it quite well when he opens the box in his cupboard

Oh, ok. Well how about the sticks? Is it two little slot things he just slides them into?

From memory there is no seperate slots it's very similar to the Affleck one just in black

You could get this https://www.playwell.co.uk/deluxe-h...2.html?zenid=554f61b6bddce46a9f6100154c17dd34 and customize it slightly

Oh wow this helps a lot.
Ill do some digging

Spoke to a fabric person that sells all different types, I was just wonder if I could find some yardage and sew it.

Here is her reply (i showed her a pic of the mask)

The pic looks like fleece but you can't see thru fleece so I'm not sure. I think you could use slinky. I don't have any yardage of black left but looked thru some left over scraps I have and could see fairly well when looking out the window. The sun isn't shinning here today so it was just daylight.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Found something that can be modified slightly:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sticks-Nunch...892?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2595a65514

I purchased a Hard PVC Nunchuk Case, it looks so cool I just had to. It's not really screen accurate but with the help of straps it can be useful.

Re: daredevil Netflix costume

base on the picture i seen and the episodes i think this are almost the same boots he is wearing and they are on special

That might be a good option for people that are looking for a alternative or "close enough" boot.

Over at the Definitive Marvel's Daredevil thread, we have identified the boots that are worn with the Black suit as Bates tactical side zip boots.
