Ithilien Ranger Iby ~Ayedail

Artisan Crafts / Costumery

I wanted to upload this before, but I never got the right picture, so at last, here is my Ithilien Ranger costume from the Lord of the Rings. I felt like doing something diffirent than the armor, since that wasn't really comfortable to wear, and it was very warm in there

Anyways, this took me about 3 or 4 weeks to make, and everything visable on the picture is home made, exept for the sword

it consists out of 5 layers, with fabric and leather. leather is a pain to sew, trust me.. one thing I found less nice, was that the cape got a little short, and the picture doesn't show the whole bow unfortunately :/
I had a lot of fun making and wearing it, thanks for the view

What a great costume! I'd say we should shoot together, but I live too far away ^_^;

I love it, I want it lol was talking about making one for a photo shoot. Did you use leather (hyde) or like, pleather-car-inlay? lol i'm not being cheap just want to make it soon for the summer pics. (Perfect area around my house)

thank you!

I used real hyde leather for everything that's leather on there

have you got experience with making things yourself? because it's pretty do-able if you have the patience hehe

Good work, and it looks spot on. My main gripe would be the colour of your jerkin, which looks very red in this picture. It looks great in the 'Forbidden pool' picture though.

This might not be of any help, but I've found that sewing thin leather is much easier on your sewing machine if you use a leather needle. These have sharp edges, so they 'cut' through the leather instead of trying to pierce through.

Thanks for the comment, I agree with you on the colour of the jerking, but it's real leather and the trader didn't have anything that suited it better at that time, so I picked this one

would have liked it a little more brown though

and yes I did use leather needles, it does help a lot, or rather, makes the job plausable, but still it's hard to do. I think it could be the sewing machine..
and thanks again

Woah, very cool this clothes, i want to make something like that.

Very nice! Btw, i like the colors you've used more than original ones.

*Jon-Snow Jul 16, 2009

Very, VERY nice! I know how much effort, work, patience, and indeed expense (leather!) this must have taken. Only trouble is it looks new, hasn't been worn on many ranging missions yet!

If I were in SCA or something I could justify making a very similar outfit - I've always wanted to.

One question: your sword, what kind is it? Is it a sharp/blunt? It looks familiar but I can't place it.
