So I've decided to add a Winter Soldier S.T.R.I.K.E. suit to my collection of convention/Halloween costumes but since it has been a few years since I first looked into it I am just hoping for a bit of advice as to if I am on the right track.
Plan is to get pieces from China/Ebay to start with and while I know that I will likely have to re-tailor/adjust most of it to some degree, having something that is already 65-80% of the way there would be a big help.
I just picked up a suit made by Cosplaysky from a Junkyard listing and as I recall, theirs was the best "off the rack" suit while the best accessories (belt/harness/gators) from Ebay/China were made by Galaxy/Costumebase. Is this still the case or is there somewhere else I should look?
The correct boots were Magnum Mach Ones however those were discontinued so I will likely have to make a substitution on this for that part of the costume. Any suggestions?
Also looking for some direction as to where to look for a helmet, preferably one that will look decent and be comfortable enough to wear for 3-4 hours at a time. High end foam build? Hard shell painted/padded?
Stealth shield will be made from a blank I bought a couple of years ago from Phebert.
Any input welcome.
Thanks.
