Usually when I add a costume to my wish-list or line-up, one costume becomes three, because I make, throw together, or purchase a costume for my husband and niece. When I made my Burlesque Loki costume to join a Burlesque (or Kilted) Superheros and Villains group for last DragonCon, I claimed Hawkeye for my husband. His costume was very easy to piece together, and I only had to make one item.

Last year at Texas Renaissance Festival, we purchased a black utility kilt (Damn Near Kilt ‘Em Men’s Greenhorn Utility Kilt Medium Black), and I had an 18th century men’s shirt pattern (1700’s Colonial Shirt Pattern (XS- Medium)) from his Jack Randall costume, so we decided we’d start there. I used black Italian linen (for comfort) and modified JP Ryan’s shirt pattern to be sleeveless, and then added cap sleeves to loosely mimic Renner’s Hawkeye from The Avengers. In lieu of buttons, I added silver eyelets so the shirt would be laced rather than buttoned. I also ordered a set of Shield patches (AVENGERS Movie SHIELD Logo Costume Shoulder Patch Set of 2) and ironed one on the right breast of his shirt.
The belt and sporran were also purchased at the renaissance festival, but I found the rest of the accessories on Amazon:
- Oakley Gascan shades (Oakley Men’s OO9014 Gascan Sunglasses)
- Purple replacement lenses for Oakley’s (Revant Polarized Replacement Lenses for Oakley Gascan Plasma Purple MirrorShield)
- Purple leather cording (UnCommon Artistry Faux Suede Leather Cord Assorted Colors 3mm – 1 Meter ea x 20 Colors)
- Archery glove (CyberDyer Archery Three Finger Tab Glove Shooting Leather Glove Fits for Hunting Compound Recurve Bow)
- Archery arm guard (Shooting Archery Arm Guard with Adjustable Straps ,Black,11.8inch)
- Quiver (Carol Archery Traditional Back Arrow Quiver Synthetic Leather BFSAQ8316A. Black)
- Bow and arrow set (kaimei 48Inch Takedown Recurve Bow Archery for Youth Beginner Practice Hunting and Outdoor Shooting Weight Adjustable Right and Left Hand with 8 PCS Fiberglass Arrows)
