graymorality Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I hope this is the right place to put this. I am working on a Kelsier costume for Tampa Bay Comic Con and I have the mistcloak, the hair and the scars figured out. I just don't know what kind of shirt or pants I should wear. Does the book ever give any good descriptions of that or at least the colors? I can't find it. PS: I'll post completed pictures of the costume when i have it done.

Kurkistan Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) I believe he normally wears average noblemen's clothing. If you have the MAG, there's a (not-technically canonical) illustration from Inkthinker on page 490. Here's an illustration of a noble wearing a suit (second from the right), also. EDIT: As for colors, noblemen's clothing is normally described as being "subdued" or the like, I believe.

firstRainbowRose Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Typically, think the clothing worn by men and women of the american civil war. It's pretty close to what I've always pictured, as well as the others I've spoken with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graymorality Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ok thanks, I think I actually have the clothes to make this work already in my closet (White shirt, black vest, gray pants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claincy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Not sure that it was ever specified in the but I had the feeling he would wear full black when he knew he was going on a raid. The rest of the time he wore a normal nobleman's suit. If you are going for a "Kelsier on a raid" look you could also get a cloth belt with spots for coin pouch/metal vials/glass daggers for completeness =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graymorality Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I'm going more for the "showing off" on a raid type of Kelsier from near the end of the book (rolled up sleeves to show the scars). I also have the coin pouch and metal vials Edited August 6, 2013 by graymorality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claincy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ah yeah. Sounds like your pretty set then =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstRainbowRose Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 One thing that is a pet peeve of mine that a lot of people mess up: The scars should go up his arm, not around it. I can't tell you how many fan art pieces I've seen that picture them going around, and it drives me bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claincy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Heh, can't disagree with you on that one. It's a simple point and it should actually make stuff easier not harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graymorality Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, they go up along the arm from where he got cut getting the Atium. I got that thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
