How to make an Assassin costume?

The costume of an assassin is the object of the dreams of any teenage gambler or cosplayer. But let's go in order: who are the Assassins? Initially, historically, the oriental warriors were called assassins, who honed the killing skill from the very childhood. They were not in the army and were mercenaries of the highest class, which not every ruler could afford to hire.

The clothing of the assassin consisted of a long, but robust overall on different parts of the body. This allowed them to move stealthily, noiselessly and quickly, without constraint of movements. But the Assassin costume has become much more popular after the release of the game Assassins Creed with its legendary characters: Altair, Ezio and Connor. Each of them had its own, individual style, based on which, you can identify the main criteria. The costume of Altair is an oriental note, lightness; Ezio Auditore - the splendor and pretentiousness peculiar to this era; Connor - maximum practicality, as well as efficiency.

Elements of the costume

But there are also common features in which the costume of an assassin from each part is somewhat reminiscent of its predecessor.

1. Loose hoodie with long sleeves. It's also a kind of murder tool: it hides the face, and knives and other weapons are easily hidden in sleeves.
2. Light trousers-trousers and brass belt. In all parts of the game, the costume belt was very wide and, starting from the pelvis, reached the navel.
3. Bracers and Greaves. Armored decorative elements of clothing, consisting of light metal and having intricate patterns.
4. Hidden blade. The dagger of the murderer, thanks to a thin mechanism that locks on the hand and pops up with a certain movement of the palm.
5. Sword sword. Open-arms weapons are chosen to taste, it is best to make from a piece of holistic metal.

That's all the elements of clothing that you need to make to ensure that you have a realistic costume assassin. Do not forget about the little things! After all, they are the ones that give such charm and attraction.

Agree that, given the quality (yes, yes, Chinese manufacturers are able to do qualitatively) and the performance of all mechanisms, it's worth it.
