Hi everyone,
With all the fanfare about the new Blade Runner, I forgot how much I loved the original. The purpose of this thread is to find the cheapest possible options for a reasonably well put together Blade Runner cosplay. I would love to hear any tips and tricks in regards to Rick Deckard's personality so that I might emulate his manner. I also need suggestions on costume and props. Any help wanted.
Thanks a bunch,
Gabriel

you could substitue his trench coat for a normal brown trench coat as for the tie try these

there are cheap versions of the gun available they just need a repaint, the holster should be cheap too, as for the shirt

to be honest i think the shirt is the hardest to find but i hope this helps

there are RPF member builds here but it depends how super accurate you wanna go, if its a budget issue then i would go for the "looks like" option

Thanks, gothic. The shirt and tie are really awesome, but i think i will go for a cheaper option on the trenchcoat. Plus, I already have the shoes. I probably will end up going for some look-alike options for the gun, but I did find an off-world one for a semi reasonable price. The gun, to me, has always been one of the coolest parts of the film, and if I'm gonna get one, I wanna get a good one without blowing my price range. I will look at secondhand stores for the coat and let you know what I come up with. Thanks again, and keep the ideas coming!

I have the Stan Smith Originals. Perfect shoe, easy to find on Ebay. I also have the cheap Ebay versions of the Deckard trench, Dress Shirt and tie. I own both the Magnoli Clothiers Deckard trench coat http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/deckard-trenchcoat-overcoats-p-286.html and the Abbyshot V2 Deckard Trench. Magnoli Clothiers also offers the Deckard Blazer and Tie.

His trousers look to be wool or polyester. Should be easy enough to find in a thrift store.

Yeah, pretty sure most of the stuff will be bought second hand. Thanks though! Oh, and also, are his pants grey khaki or tan khaki. Its kinda hard to tell.

I know this post is pretty old but it’s about to be Halloween and Nov 2019 so trying to put together a Deckard costume on a budget. Ordered a coat, shirt and tie. Already have a blaster. Need a holster. The one in the link has various different sizes. Can someone say which one specifically will fit the blaster (I have the Tomenosuke)? Thanks.

2 years late replying to this, but I don't think they're khaki at all.
I think they're brown with light speckles. Wool, or feaux wool.
I had a similar pair when I was a kid in the '80s. That style with the speckles was pretty popular back then.

... Does ANYONE know which holster would fit the blaster? Of course I used a link someone else had to the Barsony holster that had picked the size. Arrived today and not even close to fitting the blaster.
