ROLLERBALL 1975: TOKYO #8 build

[Banzai88]

My Tokyo 8 build I wore at SDCC.

• Purchased an excellent vintage screen-accurate Stadium 6 helmet from the UK--excellent paint!
• Located a mint pair of the correct Lewis Leathers pants
• Modified Yellow/Black long sleeve t-shirts together
• Number 8 is black felt ironed on, still need to sew around edge
• Colored the correct Cooper pads and added leather straps
• Dyed the correct Cooper goalie glove
• Modified black pair of gloves with spikes and cuffs
• Modern vintage-looking elbow pads [not shown]
• Currently modifying motorcycle boots for switching to rider. Very comfortable.

Very cool - did you identify and acquire the shoulder pads James Cann is wearing here?

I’m looking for a set - I got the rest of the costume

 

[Banzai88]

Pauleysolo I have yet to ID those as well. Most think the production dyed them black. I just used a similar vintage set and didn't bother with dye since they're not visible. Post up your's when you can.

Hello Banzai88

A what are they ? A vintage set of lacrosse or hockey shoulder pads?

Where did you source yours ?

 

[Banzai88]

Just search vintage hockey shoulder pads; there are even modern day 'vintage' style models available.

 

[Pauleysolo]

Found these - they should work

Banzai88 - where did you source your correct Lewis leathers “wrangler” black pants and belt?

 

[Banzai88]

Pauleysolo Found a decent pair on poshmark but search all those site; they pop up occasionally.
The belt used in the film is still available HERE but I just used the belt from my Mad Max kit.
