Ramirez from Highlander. Looking for reference pics.

[Darth Mule]

A friend of mine wants to do a Ramirez costume from Highlander. I'm kind of excited by the idea, so I'm helping him dig up some reference. Anyone have any links?

Thought I'd change the title to hopefully attract more interest. Anybody? I've found a few shots online, but nothing really wonderful.

Ok here you go... Deeeeeep breath.... lots of pics...
i nabbed these of a computer game site where you can make your own costume... but its very detailed to what you may want... and a side note nows the time to get a good not crap H1 sword, there are several people here (me included) making and or selling them... good luck and keep the in progress pics coming...

Thanks! Now if I can get him to actually follow through with it. I think this could be his big show piece for Dragon Con if he does it.

Ramirez' costume is basically a 16th Century doublet with breeches. Try to find a similar historical pattern for use as template.

That'll be the easy part. My friend is an expert on doublets. He's been the head of a college costume shop for 20 some years, and the Cavalier is one of his favorite periods. That and the fact that he has a good look for this costume are the main reasons we're pushing it.

So the more reference we can get, the better. That way he can get all the details.
