As I may have mentioned elsewhere, this is a budget build, so I'm working with mostly found/scrounged parts and "Close enough" levels of accuracy.

The jacket is one I already owned - 90s era leather biker jacket with, unfortunately, quilted padding on the shoulders and elbows.
Still, I used one elbow pad for the knee brace, and the other is getting chopped off!

The vest is a South African assault vest I already owned for Airsoft. Luckily, I never got round to adding the graffiti to it for a Ninja costume, from Chappie!
I've now removed the large pouch, and added a few extra pouches I had lying around.
The water tube is from an old Camelbak ( I do have a medical oxygen tube somewhere, just not sure WHERE! )


And the leg brace is made from some scraps of aluminium, with nuts and bolts ground down to look like rivets.
The buckles on the strapping will be from a set of incorrect hand-egg armour I got from a friend, with pieces of leather belt attached.


Oh, and I modded some binoculars too!
Five quid from a charity shop... Not quite right for Mad Max, but I had bits off a light fitting that I removed to make changing bulbs easier.
Bit of black paint, touch of dremelling, and they screw right in between the lenses and the body!

The aforementioned binoculars


And here's the costume in "Road Warrior" configuration - Basically, a black shirt instead of the grey one, and no tac vest.


I still need to add the shotgun holster and boot knife, and a few bits and bobs to the belt kit...



Any suggestions for improvements?
( I'll get some better pics of the brace later... )

Hey Scapey, cool costume.

I made something similar for a Halloween party in '86. I actually bolted the brace I fabbed up through the heel of my boot, which I drilled and later refilled.
