Gladiator costume hire

[911motorsport]

I am going as Russell Crow in Gladiator. The only thing is all the hire costumes I have seen don't look very authentic:

for example



and



Does anyone know where I can get something more authentic? I've already sorted out a pair of sandalls so it's just the rest of it. Does anyone know if museums hire out the real suits for functions?

Maybe you could ask a German woman on the internet. Make sure it's not too big though...

could somebody translate that for me?

My name is 911motorsprt, commander of the armies from the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Spawning you to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I have my revenge in this life or the hereafter.

Es tut mir leid, aber jetzt habe ich dein Bild gesehen, du bist zu groß und nicht mein Typ. Bitte lassen Sie mich jetzt allein

"I am very sorry but now that I have seen your picture, you are too fat for my 'type.' Please leave me alone from now on."


You did ask.

Oh yeah, no problem. I'm sure any museum worth its salt would be more than happy to lend you their 2000 year old priceless exhibits to wear to a piss-up.

Oh c'mon - priceless 2,000 year old museum pieces being hired out as fancy dress.

If its worth doing properly, go theatrical. Angels Costumiers ( who took over Bermans & Nathans some years ago) have a fancy dress section ( linky) that seems remarkably cheap ! They will also do proper movie/tv/theatre grade stuff but it would probably be much more expensive and insurance heavy for party spills etc.

I like his sword but the rest of it doesn't go. You have however jogged my memory that there is a theatrical costumiers a couple of roads down from me, and they specialise in action heroes!!

Don't ask me why I know they exist

There's one place I recall, can't remember the name but the phone number is:

Oh, nein. Nein, nein, nein, oh nein, nein nein, oh nein.

There is some quality gear on there! But unfortunately it is all Roman soldiers.

an amazing outfit. Very authentic*

• you will be the campest gladiator ever to mince his way into a party. Honestly, it couldn't be more camp if you were going to a boy scouts jamboree
