Here's Doug as Aragorn. Of all the costumes I did, this is the one I'm most disappointed with, simply because I would have liked to do SO much more to it, but didn't have the time. This doesn't do justice to Aragorn's Ranger outfit, not by a long shot, but it was recognizable enough that other people at the cinema knew who he was, and on such short notice, I guess that's what matters. The cloak was made from a greyish-green microfiber. It was made from the same semicircular pattern I used to make the Lorien cloaks for Merry and Pippin. I made the hood by cutting a rectangle along a fold, sewing up the top edge, and gathering it onto the neckline. Worked surprisingly well. The clasp is a hidden hook-and-eye. The jerkin, which Doug is wearing OVER the duster instead of under it, because he "liked it better that way," was made of a dark brown vinyl. I didn't use a pattern, just kind of held the vinyl up to him and marked it with a few pins. The four ties across the chest and the lacing down the sides were done with brown leather lace from Wal-Mart which, for some reason, looks yellow in this photo. The duster is made of a lightweight black denim. I started off planning to use the tunic pattern in Simplicity 9887 as my guide, but threw it out the window pretty quickly and just kinda pieced the thing together myself. I was planning on putting black leather lacing over all the seams, but didn't have time. |

The shirt was purchased at a salvage shop and dyed light blue. The pants are his own faded black work pants, probably stained at this point as he had closed the night of the movie. There's a belt under there somewhere too, made of a woven cording dyed dark brown and attached to a silver buckle. Who knows where though? I included a diagram detailing how to wear the layers with his costume, but he ignored it shamelessly. The gloves were weight-lifting gloves purchased at Wal-Mart for around $4. He's only wearing one there, I forget why, giving him a strange Michael-Jackson-of-the-Dunedain look that I find more than a little disturbing. And, as a final touch, Essay lent him her Evenstar pendant. |
