Hey, all! Being the die-hard Phillip Clyde fan that I am, I decided that I wanted to get together a Clyde costume, as identical to the original as possible. But, I'm looked for such a long time, yet I just can't seem to ever find the right stuff. I understand that most of the costume is fictional, but I know there's some things out there that are pretty darn close to the design.

The problems are:
The vest[ugh!]: I can't find this thing anywhere, and not even something remotely close. So, I may have to get this custom made. I haven't a clue as to what the material is, it looks like leather, or pleather, but it's scuba gear, so it's water proof. Leather is NOT waterproof. So, if anybody could tell me, or direct me to a good costume designer, I'd greatly appreciate that.

The MOLLE battle belt: This thing is also very hard to find, especially because the bold color of brown. I've looked, and they're all different camouflage types, or other military colors. Didn't see a single brown. And the belts that I saw had only one belt, but Clydes' has two.

The pants: I had find tactical pants anywhere on the web, not the type of camouflage he has, I've never seen before. It's a VERY dark blue. It's hard to tell that it's even camouflage, but if you look close, it is.

The leg piece: I don't even know what this thing is. But it's just there, and I'd like to be the closest thing to Clyde as possible, so, whatever it is, I'll be needing it. Do you know?

The Knee pad: I've seen knee pads, but not like this. I see them in movies and games all the time, but can never seem to find them in reality.

Boots: These aren't very important, but I'd still like to get the closet thing to them.

So, if anybody knows a good costume designer that would be willing to work with me on this project, then please let me know, I could never thank you enough. Or, perhaps one of you would be willing to create this magnificent costume for me-? Oh, and anything else that I didn't list and is on the picture doesn't mean I know where to find it. Just means that I didn't want to whine that much on my first forum-post.

Thanks a lot guys for bearing with me.
Cheers,
Cameron.

what mask are you using. post up a pic.

here's mine.

That's an awesome mask, bud. But I'm looking for the original. Silver. Rust is alright. Whichever I come across first.
But I think I know where I'm going to get the mask. From this guy:

Unfortunately, I've seen reviews on these masks, and they seem to be a lot larger than necessary.
Thanks a lot for the comment!

homage to the kings of bad ass in the vid game world

I just finished a sculpt for the first mask. The mold is almost complete so I may be selling a few copies if anyone is interested. Get in touch with me at bamabat[at]gmail[dot]com

I looked at the pics and those pants are US issue camo,it looks like they were dyed a darker color. I recognize the camo pattern for sure.

Actually, it's not US Standard issue camouflage. It's more like this...



And I think the style of mask you're looking for is this? (I think I need a darker wash though)

Now, onto the actual creation/design of the costume.

Vest: Custom made vest in two parts. The material is most likely leather on the outside with a kevlar interior. If you notice there are individual pads on his back up his spine. This is most likely padding to protect his spine from all the parkour he does.


Under shirt: Simply either a custom t-shirt or rash guard. You're not gonna find something that matches it exactly, but maybe Nike, Adidas or Underarmour have something similar. (Or walmart if you're cool with a plain color)


Pants: Basically the picture I showed you in above post.

The Belt: This is obviously custom made, and when it comes to coloration it would be best done in a dark gray rather than brown. On Clyde's left front he has 3 Ammo pouches and on his right front is a smaller pouch. He has a canister-like grenade on either side (probably custom as it does not match American grenades, closest being the XM84 Stun Grenade). On his back he has a single pistol in a holster. The gun, I can almost guarantee, is a Beretta 92FS.

The Leg Piece: The leg piece is a leg holster for throwing knives. I can only see three knives, there may actually be more.
Either...

or



Kneepad: Closest thing I found was called the Hatch 1173 XTAK (pictured below) or the Swat X-Cap Kneepad.


Boots: Basic black combat boots, but with the eyelet things being silver instead of black. You'd have to do that yourself. He seems to be wearing pretty basic boots. Found a pir on Amazon called "Men's Altama® 10" Combat Mil. Spec. Boot Black"


Weapons: Clyde is carrying 7 knive, a pistol (Beretta), and two grenades. He has (From top to bottom) a basic combat survival knife (KABAR style, but there are cheaper versions), a Bowie knife (I think), 2 push daggers, and three throwing knives.

nice mask NoSon

Yeah, wonder who I got that from...
