Dexter costume

[Zombie_61]

Hey all! A little off-topic here, and I've already posted this in the "Kill Tools" thread, but I have something I'd like to share with my fellow Dexter fans and I thought I'd post it here as well for anyone who hasn't found the other thread yet.

Set your WABAC machine for July 2, 2011, 6:30 a.m. (U.S. Pacific Time Zone). My wife and I are at Los Angeles International Airport, waiting our turn in the security line at the Alaska Airlines terminal. Bored and in people-watching mode, I looked to my left and, two lines over, no more than 20 feet from me, was the man himself--Michael C. Hall!!! As if they were filming a scene from the show, he was doing his best to blend in and not get noticed--wearing sunglasses and "examining" his boarding pass. A moment later he looked up and turned in my direction. I smiled and nodded "Hello". He did the same and, I swear, the expression on his face during the performance of this simple gesture said, "Yeah, it's me; thanks for not making a big deal of it and drawing attention to me." As I was pointing him out to my wife, the TSA agent in his line recognized him as well, smiled, and did the "fist bump" thing. And that was it. His line moved faster than ours, so I didn't have an opportunity to talk to him, but it was a nice little moment for me and a great way to start a vacation!

Im sure this has been covered many many times, but i cant seem to find it through how many posts/ threads there are. But I was wondering if anyone knows the brand of the red t shirt Dexter wears? or is it more maroon? I mean I've seen at target for $5, they have a regular red which doesnt seem to match and a maroon one that looks a little closer. but if anyone knows where the actual shirt can be purchased would be a great help.
Also looking for the Dark blue button up shirt he wears and rolls the sleeves up Ie: to ritas funeral. any ideas on brand and where to get that?
thanks

 

[Rbeato]

also any new info on the watch he wears?

He has a couple different red shirts that he wears, including the one seen in the first episode of season two and in promo pics. But his main t-shirt is made by JCrew: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/polostees/brokeninjersey/PRDOVR~73431/73431.jsp
The color they offer now seems to be slightly darker than the his go-to one, although it may just be the way it was photographed. Also, if you're interested in his shoes, he has been known to wear Vans: Vans Classic Slip-On

you know the color of vans shoes he wears? and im guessin pretty much just regular dockers for normal apparel?

The slip-ons are just straight black.

The above link shows the ones I'm referring to. As for the pants, no idea on the exact brand.

 

[Rbeato]

he has a different color than just black though, in season 3 you can see him on the beach, forget which episode with Miguel Prado, and its a lighter color van slip on.
really wish we had some info on that dark blue button up he wears, but im sure pretty much any kind of dark blue button up other than like a business type button up shirt thats worn with a suit will work.
Main thing on my list is the watch though, already have the band, just need the watch, doesnt even have to be exact, i have found a bunch of 70's timex but all are numbers in the dial, i dont care if they are hash marks or circles, just somethin similiar.

 

[DarkPassenger]

To everyone who PMed me about the watch,

I am waiting a week or so to answer my PMs on it. You will be answered, just not right now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Rbeato]

i found out which exact watch it is, now just have to track it down. sucks one was sold back in june

 

[Rbeato]

now for the blue button up shirt. also anyone know of a cheaper knock off of the j crew shirt that is the same color?

 

[DarkPassenger]

Sold where?

Are we sure that the 5.11 pants aren't the ripstop version?

Is it this pair?: 5.11 Tactical Men's Tactical Pant

OR, this pair?: 5.11 Tactical Taclite Pro Pant

I don't have season 5 and I can't really find any good hi def screen caps to double check.
I also know which exact brand and model shoes Dex wears to work, but I'm not 100% sure on the color just yet. I'm not talking about the Vans, and they're not dockers btw, I'll post when I know for sure on the color.

 

[DarkPassenger]

The first link is the right pants, although the stock picture is very misleading as to what the pants actually look like. You need the Tundra color.

 

[Rbeato]

Just an FYI to those who may want the red j crew shirt he wears, I found the EXACT same color shirt at kohls, and matching it up to HD Dexter on tv it's the same color. Brand name Sonoma. Luckily kohls sent me a $10 gift card in the mail for free and the shirt happened to be $24 regular price but was marked down to $10.80 so I got the shirt for 80 cents also found the watch, paid for and is in route. And yes it is the same exact watch

Where did you get your watch?

I don't know, the picture seams to be pretty accurate. They're baggy and fit like crap. In my case when paired with the AA shirt they perfectly accent how out of shape I am. They take pleats to a whole new level.

 

[DarkPassenger]

Lol. My pants fit perfect. I even bought 2 pair of olive for work, their so comfortable. I meant misleading as far as the strap on the back pocket and double side pockets on the same side.

 

[Risu]

It works for you because you're built for the costume. I'm built for Doctor Who costuming, I probably have 10 pounds of muscle on my whole body. The pleats on those pants make my bottom half look huge and the AA shirt is skin tight. I could probably stand to go up a size on the shirt, though.
