I've decided I'm just going to go with a real hair crew-cut since I need to get my hair cut anyway, and pulling off that hair is outside of my expertise. It won't look as authentic, but I'll be wearing a helmet most of the time.

With all my gear on, my costume basically looks like pic related, but more beat-up and worn out. I added patches and shit to the jumpsuit beneath since I figure I'm not gonna wear a flak vest all day in London the middle of May. Might even just go without the vest on the Sunday.

I was thinking -- should I get some softened cardboard to pad out my vest in place of the actual kevlar, or would it not look as authentic
as the real plates?
