Nolanverse Gotham City Police (image heavy)

[Borzou]

So I thought I'd work on a Gotham City Police uniform. I have no idea what was used exactly on the uniform so I kinda eye-balled it. I did notice that the uniforms varied a bit from movie to movie.

I'm mostly done, but here's my progress so far.

Badge: By J. Vasilatos: http://borzou.net/gcpd/badge.jpg
Pins: http://borzou.net/gcpd/pins.jpg
Patch (eBay): http://borzou.net/gcpd/patch.jpg

I do admit that the regular street cops had no name badges on their uniform, but I find that very irritating. I added the name badge to add balance to the uniform.

I gotta ask cause I'm about to be thrown a GCPD project but; Where'd you come by the GC and PD pins?

Here: Firefighting professionals shop for helmets, flashlights, boots, badges and shields at TheFireStore.com -

Edit: the pin is 1/2" long on my costume

He was a detective partnered with Montoya in the comics unless I am mistaken.

Love the name badge! Nice reference!

Edit: And he became the Spectre a few years ago, but I think that is done away with now thanks to the reboot.

So here is something I found a bit late in the game: Detailed Description

It seems like that the P.D. is different from the G.C. Oh well...

This looks awesome! Question-where exactly did you get the GCPD metal badge above your left breast pocket? I've seen the ones at gothampolicebadges.com, but based on their measurements, that can't be big enough.

 

[Borzou]

I got my badge from fellow board member JVASILATOS, the same guy who runs that site. He based the badge off a screen used resin cast of the badge from The Dark Knight.

Why do you think it's not big enough?

On the site, it shows a measurement of 2 inches and a bit, squared. But if they are the size that you are wearing, then I'm down with one, for sure!

Yep, they are the same one. If anything, they make for really nice collectables. :thumbsup

Hey Borzou, what'd you do for the utility belt? Was that a random eBay purchase, surplus store, or what? All your notes have been really helpful, want to get a utility belt of some kind, but debating on how much I'm ready to spend on it.

 

[Borzou]

It's actually called a 'duty belt'. I bought mine off eBay. In reality, any leather duty belt without any designs (plain, no gloss) can be used. I hunted mine down off ebay for about $50, which is a real steal. I would scour eBay, until you find a good deal.

Hello, which make of shirt and trousers did you pick for this???

Looking at a few different brands at the minute.

 

[Borzou]

Elbeco Classic TexTrop

Shirt: Elbeco.com - TexTrop? Shirts - TexTrop Short Sleeve Shirts for Men

Trousers: Elbeco.com - TexTrop? Trousers - TexTrop Trousers for Men

The correct color is navy (or dark navy, not black).

Wow. Nice work. You look like you're ready to be the Joker's next victim!

I wanted to start by saying nice work and love the comic reference. Couple questions. I tried to follow the link for the GC and PD pins but I couldn't find them on the site, do you remember what they are call or listed under? Where did you get the name plate?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, looks like the site updated since I first posted the costume. Here is the new link: http://www.thefirestore.com/store/p...en-Collar-Pins-w-Clutch-Back-Attachment-S-O-/

Also, it looks like the Gotham show has decided to change the costume entirely, so now I have to start all over...:facepalm
