I just took a glance at the website and had the same response.

Damn, you want to cosplay as Ezio!? That's crazy, I want to cosplay as the Hunter(Left4Dead) and I find it hard enough trying to figure out how the hell I'll make the clothing(and medical bandages) look dirty, old, worn, and covered with blood. XD

Yeah, that website's cosplay outfits aren't very good (some are better than others), just take a look at the TP Link. *shudders* They do have good detailing on the cloth design that I thought you would enjoy.
 @ nightpriestess: I was going to cosplay as a hunter because of how easy it is.

Make them actually dirty? Or instead, use dry brush techniques (put as little paint on a paintbrush as possible) to paint on it. |

haha yeah making it dirty is easy but making it look old? XD I take it you're good at cosplaying? Thanks about the blood tips! That's the hardest part for me. |

You could do a reverse of a tie-dye technique. Tie off some parts and wash it in a washer with normal detergent. This will remove some of the dye on the sweater and leave it in the places you tied off. This will give it a more worn look and a good texture if tied off right. You can also use a brush to flick red paint/dye onto the sweater to give it a nice splatter effect. Also, the hunter uses duct-tape as the tie offs, so that part should be easy.

V_V My specialty is stingy cosplay. I don't like breaking the bank for a costume I will only wear two or three times. (well, I'd prance around as Altair more if I went to more conventions...) >_> And for some reason all my costumes are based on hilarious sources... my mother figured out the Altair hood by a penguin costume...
Looking old... I'd probably just try to wear it out. stretch it a bit, yank at the seams, maybe rip it a little... maybe chuck it an unreasonable amount of times into the washing machine? >_> all my poor sweatshirts start looking dead after enough washes... Maybe stain it a little. I have this sweatshirt that is one of those nonsensical "It's so fashionable to buy clothes that's been ruined for you!" (well, the tag said "Now every coat is different! :'D") type of things and it's a grey sweatshirt that's been unevenly dyed a slightly different shade of grey so it looks kind of old. edit: oi I take too long to type. xD |

Thanks for the tips guys! I really appreciate it and LOL at the Altair hood and penguin costume! If anyone else wants to give me tips, just PM me because I don't want to hijack UchihaKarasu's thread.

Found this a while ago. It might help you out when making the bracer as well as other leather looking parts. Hope it helps. |

lol, I just noticed two new things.
The flaps on Ezio's jerkin are a darker color than the jerkin itself and they seem to be made out of a different material.... it just keeps getting more complicated XD  There is no such thing as Good or Evil, only Human thinking makes it so--William Shakespeare "Our minds do not limit us, we limit our minds."

Wow very impressive with all that detail. Have you guys done an Altair one as well?

I as well am working on an Ezio costume for Halloween. You seem to be making the standard, and I am making the Black Edition. I have found a lot of tutorials on how to make a hidden blade. You can YouTube a lot of them. One that I found is easy to make and cost effective.
As for the fabrics, I do way too much crafts and sewing for my own good. The Fabric is a Twill Blend. As for the historical aspects of the fabric, it is more than likely a twill, and the under layer a cotton. As for the under layers, there is a quick and easy way to get it to look right. It is a cotton/polyester blend. However, a mid-weight, low gloss fabric would work too.. However, that is a VERY lightweight material. What you will want to do is get fusible interfacing and lots of it. That will make the fabric stable and durable enough for usage. The leathers, I would just recommend Pleather. Beat it up a bit and you are good. Even just leave it in the sun a bit and it will fade a little and weather. A light weight cotton or linen would work well for the shirt and some simple shoe lace for the draw strings. I would recommend using foam padding (the 1/4" stuff) for some support and comfort on the wrist and shin flanks. You can also look into making the metal armors from that foam, or what I am doing (I have made the clothing already), is trying an experiment. Wrapping aluminum sheeting to mead a clay mold. And if that fails, I'm only out $15. Second option is more time consuming, but will probably look "perfect" if you/I could pull if off. A thin stainless steel plate, in which I will torch cut the outline, and file down for the curvature. A metal grit hand router would come in handy for all the little details. After that, weathering or taring the recesses for a more finished, aged, and tarnished look. The little things like buttons, d- rings, and buckles, you can find at your local wally-world (walmart) or craft store like Joanne's, Michaels, Hancock fabrics, or Marshalls. They are relatively inexpensive. At this point, I have spent about $70 on just materials, and the likes, so if you have $150, an abundance of time, and a crafty hand, you could make an amazing costume. Once everything is finished, I will be posting picture of my costume as well. Luckily, we have 4 months till H-day. |

wow, you sure know what you're talking about! i would NEVER be able to do anything like this...

Wow! Thanks for the info! It'll be really helpful. I'm pretty good with crafts and making things, so with the help of my grandma (one of them, lol) I can probably make the costume the way I envision it. As for the blade, I already am aware of how to make one authentically, i did some research on the way it works and how to make a cheaper (price wise) version, even though Ezio's blade is much more complicated than Altair's, especially with the gun.

I had to look...and it was hilariouse. I can imagine some poor soul dressed up on that XD BTW Good luck with the costume. be sure to post some pics when its done. |

Dammit OP, I was planning this cosplay as well >.>
...thanks for the footnotes   |
|||

well we are throwing around the possible ways of making certain items like the belt, and fabrics, and so on, so add to it. If you see something that you think we missed, or have a way of making something that we didn't think of, that could be easier and more cost effective, I can't speak for everyone, but I would love to hear it. I pretty much just have the accessories to do.

I've finished about half the cosplay. the shirts, hood and cape are done, I've also mainly accessories to do. anyone have a good reference pic of Ezio's bracer?
