So what's the color of the pants? Were they just weathered and distressed by the wardrobe team?

It was Finhead considering building the mask. I did start the thread though so I can understand the confusion. In any event, we just don't have the time. I think we are pretty much booked for most of 2012. :eek

The coat as seen here...
... is a Swedish M1909.

I remembered one of the brothers on BOTB posted a thread about this coat back in July. Credit goes to Rooster From Holland for figuring this one out.

Darn it. Thanks for clearing it up though. We need someone to do a 100% accurate replica.
Licensed would be interesting, but probably terrible. Noble Collection would do a terrible job with it.

I agree. I also agree that it would have been amazing to see Finhead tackle this.

Unfortunetly these are close but not the same thing, The Gen1 Crye's are what Bane wears these are the Gen3 Crye's which is what most of the special forces guys wear today. The Gen1 pattern is a different for sure. These are still about as close as your gonna get!
The vest is 100% custom, I have never seen a tac vest like that ever. The only thing I think on it that isnt custom is the shoulder straps which look like they came from a Alice pack straps.

The Swedish coat from page 1 looks close but I think it was either altered heavily or Lindy Hemming just copied it and made her own version. Here are some good pics of Bane's coat:
I haven't found any pictures of the M1909 jacket that is brown with the white fur behind the collar. There are some on ebay right now and they all have brown fur on the collar. The shape of the collar where it meets the jacket also seems to have been altered.
The cuffs to me on Bane's jacket seem very different also.

I'm starting to get materials together to try my hand at a Bane costume. I bought the pants from ebairsoft EbairSoft Airsoft parts & Tactical Gear - G Emerson CP Gen2 style Tactical Pants ( Black ) EME09 They fit well, but if you go with them I would suggest buying a size bigger than you normally wear so they fit loose as in the movie. Also I think if you move the big cargo pocket from the side to the front they would look pretty close to the gen 1 pants.

Ive got pretty much everything in the works, Got a guy who makes Professional grade custom Tactical vests making thr vest for me, I have the mask from Gotham City FX on the way, A leather worker making the Wrist cuff, I ordered UR-Tactical Ops integrated combat pants which I will color strip and redye Blue. Just need to go get some Vietnam Jungle boots to modify with straps and should be ready.

Guys, those aren't Vietnam jungle boots. Jungle boots had the grommet/eyelets. Those are modern/pre-desert, standard issue black leather boots. Look at the "eyelet" (for lack of a better word). You can see where the black paint has rubbed off the rivet holding on the lace eyelet, revealing the brass underneath. If I had a dollar for everytime I had to put Emnu on those damn things, I'd be a millionaire. That's not saying he doesn't use jungle boots in the movie, but the pictures above show the all-leather issue boots.

And jungle boots have canvas sides and very chunky soles.

The boots are custom designer I am guessing But jungle boots are going to be about the closest things unless you want to custom make boots. I am actually going to dremel the sole down to flat and make custom straps for the Jungle boots, and obiously weather them to look that graysih brown color.
Thad- it has been a long time, Ill shoot you a email
