As I start getting pieces for my Dredd costume I figured I would post some pics along the way for reference. My costume will be about 90% film accurate with a few Carlos Ezquerra touches thrown in for fun. I am trying to use as many "real world" heavy duty items as I can because I want this costume to be as durable as a real police uniform. This project needs to be finished by May 2013 for Phoenix ComicCon so I'm moving quickly.

Updated: Still need armor/pads/holster and I'm waiting on the leathernext replica gloves. I'm also saving up for the leathernext Dredd jacket since the one I'm using is way too thick/bulky and hangs too low.

For anyone on a budget, the Xelement brand leather pants were $99 with free shipping from leatherup.com and they are VERY similiar to the movie pants (order at least one size up and remove the knee armor as they run small). The Xelement boots were also $99 from leatherup and shipped for free.

Looks like a good start - really like how the belt is coming together - interested in where you got the mag holders... :love

Thanks! I'm still waiting on 4 items that were paid for weeks ago but still haven't found my mailbox yet :unsure. The mag holders are these:

When you say Ezquerra touches?... I am curious as that is such a difficult style to translate into the real world:confused

Basically a few of the classic simpler designs from back when Dredd was more of a motorcycle cop in the original comics. I'm looking through Brian Bolland and Carlos Ezquerra art for reference as well as watching the new movie nightly. It's mostly film inspired so far though.

Nice, I'm also hitting PHXCC 2013! My kit won't be ready until SDCC, unfortunately.

Don't feel too bad, the Dredd costume would probably have proven to be too hot for Phoenix in May. 112 degree heat + motorcycle leathers/armor = madness. :wacko

rising this thread from it´s grave i just wanted to thank you for letting me know what the leather pants distributor where. I now know where to buy them and I will in about 15 days. I also found the jacket for My particular take on Dredd.

Is there any thread with pics of your finished version?

cheers!!
