John Blake TDKR

[AgentofChaos]

Just over a month away from the premier and it looks like AMC is running a trilogy marathon. Naturally, I instantly started thinking of costume ideas and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, John Blake, is perfect for me. Now, I've got about 43 days to throw this together.

I am planning on using cheap alternatives for the long sleeve shirt, pants and shoes.

I've ordered the custom embroidered mock turtleneck

I'm saving up my money for a badge

Found a cheap patch

One side of the collar insignia, the GC will need to be custom made

The same shoulder mic used in the movie.. Hard part is finding the radio to attach it to
Remote Speaker Microphone with Emergency Button RMN5038A - Motorola Solutions USA

The frustrating part is the Jacket. Almost perfectly SA Jacket.. $206.49
OfficerStore.com: Spiewak: SH3465 WeatherTech Airflow Duty Jacket

Does anyone know where to find a similar looking jacket for less money? Or a cheap site for law enforcement gear in general?
I'll post pics as my costume comes together.

Check out Galls (Police Gear | Police Equipment | Tactical Gear | 5.11 Tactical | Bates Boots | Streamlight | Safariland | Galls). It's a law enforcement website and I honestly don't know if it's cheaper. Definitely worth the look though.

Thank you! I found a very similar looking shirt, and pants, just for a little over $20 each.

I'd check out the bay for used police surplus. You can find it dirt cheap!

I agree with Dorian. I have found duty gear for my costume on eBay at 1/4 the retail price.
