Thom,
Looks great bud. You wear it well. Is it real leather or pleather?

Wes,
As Ollie Queen surmises, it's 100% real leather. Moo! :)

Nice job. I need to post pics of my hubby's suit. We got the S10 version from the real makers who made it for the show.

Padme,
I'd love to see pics of your hubby's suit. The season 10 GA is a lot more complex than the s6 and the s9. BTW, I sent you a follow-up FB message with a few more questions about bow modifications. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, but people say I really look great in red. ;)

TTFN.

Just got off the phone with Geoff Gay. He had been puzzled regarding how to recreate the GA belt with its embossed-type sections. Here's what he came up with:

Pretty cool! :)

Geoff is nearly finished with my GA, which I will debut next month in San Diego.

Finished arm bands

Plus, I ordered and received my Harley Sidelight boots a few weeks ago. :thumbsup

Now I just have to finish modifications to my PSE Mojo bow, and I'll be "good to go" for Comic-Con. :cool

Fantastic suit!
How did you do the gloves and guantlets?
Working on a suit myself and am looking to gather information on those pieces.

Thanks! :)

The gloves used on the show are Watson Gloves model 865 Stampeder with the fringes, the thumbs and pinky fingers cut off.

However, Watson doesn't have online ordering. A suitable substitute is Darkwood Armory's Fighting Weight Leather Gloves. Here's a link:
Fighting Weight Leather Gloves : Darkwood Armory!, Art in steel

Geoff Gay, who made my costume, is finishing up Season 6-style bracers. In the meantime I've repurposed a pair of soccer shin guards and embellished them for use as bracers.

PM me if you have any questions.

Here's a shot of me as Green Arrow from Sunday @ Comic-Con:

I'm calling this project about 95% done. Geoff Gay plans to finish the bracers for Dragon*Con.

Special thanks to Becca & Steve Dooks for advice on modifying my bow. :thumbsup

You did not even need to bleach your hair as they have excellent highlighting sprays now. Nice costume, I want to see more pics of the Booster Gold costume :D(not that GA isn't great!!)

"Doh!" I've rocked the blonde look before, though. GA just gave me an excuse to do it again. :lol

BTW, I did a photoshoot in both Smallville-inspired costumes this afternoon. I'll post pictures after my friend e-mails them to me. :thumbsup
