hi guys! i'm from netherlands, my boyfriend is a duke fan and i want to make him a present for his birthday. i wanted to buy him a complete duke costume. but i can't find those suspenders. i have found a few things but they are so different. can you help me please? it's enough if you tell me the exact name of it so then i can search better! ^^ thank you!

[kelly86]

and those little bags on the belt pls ^^

For the belt this might be the closest you'll find.
http://www.ecrater.c...lity-belt-black You could probably find one cheaper, but that gives you a starting point. I don't know if they have Army/Navy surplus stores in the Netherlands, but that would be a good place to look too.

I'm not sure where to find suspenders exactly like that though you could buy a pair of suspenders and just sew attack bullet holder shaped things. ^^

Going all out you'll need:

Red "Wife Beater" Tank Top.
Black RayBan sunglasses.
Blue Jeans.
Black leather boots.
Belt with nuclear logo on the front. Good luck, this is something you'll likely have to have custom made.
Customised "A.L.I.C.E."

Only place I can think to find the latter element is an army surplus store, or maybe get one off of a military Halloween costume.

This!

In terms of belt buckles, you might be able to get something similar. A quick Google suggests there are some knocking about - not exact but they might do!

Pretty original idea there

Theese boots are in Duke style, and are my favourite type of boots

[Jimmy]

The "suspenders" you were looking for are actually called web-gear. You should be able to find a nice one at any army surplus. A.L.I.C.E. is built upon web-gear usually, but as you can see, it's usually a lot more clunky and covers up more of the chest area.

[kelly86]

oh.. thank you guys! very kind ^^ i'll check out!!

sure!! ^^ but for doing a good job we have to wait that his hair is grown up because he's shaved! and i have to dye it ! lol

[kelly86]

so for the boots, sun glasses and the tank top i can find them easily around here, and what do you think about this stuff?








i know that they aren't the same.. maybe for the suspenders i can find better ones, but i'll wait for your opinion before. and for the bruckle i think i'll get one from ecplipse suggest

[OpenMaw]

Thats probably about as close as you'll get, looks good to me!

[kelly86]

ooookkk fine.. thank you all! i'll come back with the photos!! maybe it will take some time but...

[kelly86]
