Hello, all.
I am in love with the military-style snow costumes that Cobb and crew wear during the dream sequence in Inception. I have been researching this for some time and have some info to share. I'd also like to ask for any help if anyone else has been pursuing this to compare notes.
I have positively identified the goggles (both men's and women's), gloves, radios and machine gun, and have found a boot that's close but not exact. I have had no luck on the jackets, pants, rucksack, beanie and other costume components, and I suspect they may be custom pieces. I have checked military snow camo and skiing / snowboarding clothes and can't even find the base of something that was later modded.
Anyway, here's what I have so far:
1. Men's Goggles
The men's goggle is the Anon Figment. The black logo has been removed from the plastic and the headband has been replaced with some white elastic.
2. Women's Goggles
The women's goggle (worn only by Ellen Page's character Ariadne) is the Anon Majestic, with similar mods as the men's version.
3. Gloves
The gloves are the white Burton RPM Leather snowboard gloves, with the logo (rather crudely) cut out. The gloves are visible in the screen cap of Eames in the "Machine Gun" section below.
4. Radio
The radio is the Yaesu FT-270 with the shoulder mic attachment, both painted white.
5. Machine Gun
The machine gun carried by Tom Hardy's character Eames is the Sig-Sauer 552 Commando. It has been painted white and the stock and magazine have been wrapped with white cloth and/or tape. There are excellent Airsoft replicas of this gun available.
6. Boots
Here's where it gets a bit sketchy. The closest I've been able to find are the white Kamik Canuck boots. The soles do not appear to be screen-accurate but they'd certainly be passable for a costume with the red embroidered logo stitching removed.
7. Jacket Detail
As I said before, I can't locate the jacket, but I did discover that the rather unique hardware on the front is called a "hook-and-dee" closure and it is common on firefighting jackets. The U.S. supplier is Custom Metal Crafters, model Z-701.
Well, that's all I have. Any help from other fans of this great costume would be much appreciated... cheers!
