The Definitive Hawkeye "Avengers" Costume Thread

Sunglasses - Oakley Split Jacket.

There are a few cheap replicas on-line in case you don't want to spend $200 for sunglasses.

Thought the same thing, but for the life of me I have not been able to find the right one. 8 days of searching the internet for every type of side release/quick release buckle for 3-4 hrs a day almost made my eyes bleed...

I looked around a bit myself. Bianchi has one close. Bianchi Model 7950 AccuMold Elite Duty Belt.

Or maybe it's a fake. Just a common snap lock with a rectangle glued on.

I can't answer any Avengers questions, because I would like to continue working. Sorry.

Totally understandable. It never hurts to ask.

Wonder what he's looking at.... :rolleyes :love

I've been analyzing the pic's I have of the quiver and came up with a quick sketch of the overall shape and details. Obviously the proportions and angles are off. But you get the general idea.

 

[terryr]

I happened to see the buckle while watching the movie. The center looked very close to the Bianchi I linked in post #22. But the belt connection sides were different.

I wonder if they had an older model?

 

[SWFreak]

Got some new images of the quiver. And after seeing the movie I have a better idea of how it's put together. I'll be working on some more sketches and possibly a 3D model.

Great reference pics and costume details.
This'll come in really useful if I decide to go ahead with my Hawkeye costume

Does anyone have any good shots of his other outfit - with the black vest?

 

[Boxman430]

I've got a couple of his Black vest

I don't know if you've seen this but there was a thread with a link to some super hi-res images of the Avengers, including Hawkeye. The images give you a really good look at the texture of the costume and looking at them I'd say that Hawkeye's costume is made from sort of nylon.

Awesome, thanks. I think I'm going to do a quick and easy version of this costume to start with and to wear when I go to a friends Avengers-themed party later this month. The vest is close enough to the Blackhawk ITS HP vest:
Blackhawk ITS HPFU V.2 Performance Vest

For the time being I'm just going to wear it with my regular black tactical pants. I've got an old compound bow that I'm going to paint black, and I've got a thigh holster for my Glock. Should be a good enough look for a quick build.

Hi Gang,

The holster looks like a Safariland; can't quite tell on the pistol, but I'm guessing either a glock (Black Widow has a Glock 23), or an HK P30 (the rear sights are fairly unique: a tapered wedge).

On the boots, I'm not convinced about the current call? The eyelets are silver, and there is a strip of leather below the laces (granted, that could be a custom addition). I remember the sole looking very much like a Vibram lug when watching the movie.

 

[SWFreak]

I think the boots are correct. However, the correct spelling is Highlander Sympatex Forces Boot.

It's this discontinued version

Not the new version.

 

[topherhunter]

Dang, you're right. The eyelets are still the wrong color, but that could be wear of the black paint.

The good news is that the Vibram lug is pretty common, so there might be a 90% match with an in-stock boot somewhere? Since so much is covered by the gaiter, and the toe is customized with the tab, matching the lug becomes the most critical part, I think?

Here's the boot and buckle.

The buckle looks different in the movie and other shots, with a rectangular piece in the middle.

The boot has been altered with the legging sown into it. Even so, the side leather looks different than the Sympatex Forces Boot.

 

[SWFreak]

I think I'm only partially correct. Look at these closeups...

I think it's the correct sole. But the eyelets are wrong. The screen boot has at least 7 eyelets. But the Sympatex boot has 6 eyelets and then the rings start.
