What LotR Costumes/Clothes Have You Made? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Despite being a Hobbit, I've made myself a Dwarf costume.

It started out as a Viking outfit for a fancy-dress party (I have some Viking blood in me) and became a Saxon warrior's costume for a pageant before becoming my LoTR Dwarven gear.

I have a rough woolen tunic (looks home-spun - cut from an old army blanket), helmet, sword, battle-axe and hugh wooden shield. The helmet is a simple one like the one Gimli had at Helm's Deep, a leather cap re-enforced with iron bands, except that mine has copper bands. I lack the skill to work iron.

I dream that some day I might be able to buy a chain-mail shirt. Here is one supplier..
