This is my indiana jones costume. Most of it is from Todd's costumes apart from my jacket which is wested and the bag which is from what price glory.

Excellent kit ! I would have killed for something like this when I was your age.

looks really nice! in fact too nice and new try making it a little "used" looking Indy got messy

 

[Mrkipling]

Thanks for the comments guys
I am not sure how to get it looking more used other than beating the crap out of it :lol

 

[gman71]

There are some pretty good threads for distressing Indy gear--specifically--on either Indy Lounge.com or the Club Obi-Wan forums. Google 'em.

Cheers,

It looks good. Try wethering the jacket and the hat some.

By the time he's 38, his outfit will be well-weathered!

 

[Egon Spengler]

Wow! Excellent work! What style/brand hat is it?

 

[floatinjoe]

Looks good. Everytime I see Todd's work, I am more and more impressed. Word of advice on the shirt. After a few washings, it should look more worn. Just never iron it. If you want to take out any wrinkles that may appear, wash it and hang to dry.

Out of curiousity, I saw that you're in London. Did you go to Wested to buy your jacket? Is it a custom, or off the rack?

Thats fantastic! You wear it so well, and the face too!
I see you're in the UK, are you a member of any cosplay groups? Feel free to contact me here or on the link in my sig if you want more info

Great job, have fun

 

[Mrkipling]

@Egon: The hat is from todd as well it is a downturner as far as I remember, but does not look like the one one his website currently. It looks good but sometimes I think the brim is a bit too big.

@floatinjoe Thanks for the advice on the shirt. It's sort of off the shelf :lol I bought it online, did not modify it in any way. To tell you the truth I was worrying right up untill I tried it on that I messed up and got the wrong size but fortunately it fit

@Nikonthenet Thank you for the comments , no cosplay group as of yet might check out your sig for info.

You could try wet forming the holster, soaking the jacket, bending over and beating the back of the shoulder bag straps down to create the wear in it, and that should start you off well on the "ageing" of it all...

There's a load of good forums for Indy fans about too....Post a photo of this there and you'd get some great ideas I suspect!

Maybe try out ClubObiWan or Fortune & Glory....

Second that-- half of Indy's costume is DIRT! :lol

I used kitty litter on the hat (unused, don't worry!) and it sticks real well. Has the same dusty look as in Raiders

 

[masterjedi322]

Great costume! But i agree - needs some dirt! You can also try fullers earth.
