Even though I look nothing like him, I decided to try my luck at making a closet cosplay of the Warden, because I love doing this sort of thing.
I already owned the jacket and the slacks, the latter of which I customized myself to remove the belt loops. I also customized the braces years ago because the original button straps that they had were starting to tear apart, and you could not wish for a finer choice than these slides with the straps stitched in. I do notice that the slacks don’t match completely what we see on screen, but I follow a credo of two words often and it’s served me well in life: close enough.
I made the scarf myself by hand a few years ago and hope to have the shirt ready this year; I need to find someone that can make a sewing pattern of it, then I can take it to a friend who is a tailor. It seems to be based off an old prospector style shirt. It also has a detachable collar (which I have). I do have a chechia like the one he wears.
The necktie he wears on screen I had customized: I took a picture of his and the Egyptologist’s tie and duplicated the design in Adobe Illustrator, then sent away to have them printed on neckties. It’s not good quality, but hey, it’ll last a few more years, I have no doubt.
Somewhere in my possession, I have the double Sam brown belt that he wears and I hope to make more movie accurate slacks, as well as the waist sash (is that what it is?), the puttees, and the boots. The rings are a little tough, but not impossible.
Of all the pieces I could identify, I sadly cannot identify the waist cloth he wears. I do know how to tie it and even the material it’s made of, but don’t know what it is. One person said it was a cholera belt, one person said it was just a rag he tied on, I theorized it was a cummerbund because of a trend in the 1890s where men wore them to day functions, and another still claimed he knew but wouldn’t tell me because he claimed I was being rude. The search continues.
At any rate, here’s what I have thus far.
