I have to go with the others with the green shirt, it totally adds another level.  Dont break the bank on it though, just goto winners or a thrift store


That's exactly what I've been up to, and considering I'm at least 6'4" with considerable amounts of flesh on my frame it's difficult to find something adequate even for normal wear and tear at an agreeable price. 

At this rate the only other possible option is an old C.F. Green Jacket - but I like the ACU design shirt as it tucks into the pants better.

I'll check an army surplus store in London and see if they have any green shirts that would work for you. The green is the way to go I'll be stopping by there today anyways.

Well if you're buying it for yourself and just loaning it out to me for the day to get it back all sweaty, cool and thanks :)  However if it's not a light material (like the old thin C.F. top shirt/jacket I took a pic of earlier) then no thanks, gotta be able to breathe ;)

The Green Jacket would look MILES better than the black one, just sayin.

Even if the mask doesn't match that jacket?

I know it will be hard to get a red beret but if you have like a red toque or something that you can fold up and put on your vest shoulder, maybe get a black band that you can wrap around to attach it.  Not sure how good it will look but just curious if something like that would work.

Green and Green is still better than Black and Green in my opinion. ;-)

True that - I had another thought, what about a matching top to the pants instead, either MARPAT or the previously displayed woodland BDU?

I was thinking about working around something like that as well - still looking :)

I found a nice light long sleeve shirt that would do well for every day wear as well at a different used clothing shop that had gone unchecked. 

The shirt more closely matches the mask than anything else yet and although the top part won't be as green as that seen in the figure, it should satisfy the fans who prefer green over black.

Photos later, I think y'all will be impressed ... Once that's done I will work on recreating the badge on his arm.

Here is another test shot, keep in mind that the colour of the mask and shirt matched better under normal light.  There is a different shirt that's a brighter green at that shop and the folks there said I could exchange - but I kinda like this.

Thoughts?
