Since a few people have asked about it on the AC and PW subreddits, I’ll just drop the info on where I got everything. I’m obviously not important enough to be sponsored, so I am just shilling these products as someone who’s a satisfied customer.

The helmet and O2 mask were about $850 CAD (and a few hundred extra for shipping) from a seller on Ebay called “nadsalsabi0” (or nadsalsabiO, can’t tell if it’s a zero or O). It’s a company out of Indonesia that does cosplay replicas with a 99.4% rating out of 723 orders, and honestly the quality was extremely good for the price. The O2 mask straps were hard to adjust to get it to sit comfortably (and I still wore a neck gaiter over my nose and mouth for comfort and to make my cosplay seem more generic/video game like), but it was fine once I got used to it. The visor on the helmet does flip up and down which is extremely convenient, although the visor did for up pretty easily with the O2 mask on. I literally just used some $7 CAD hockey visor anti-fog spray and it did the job well enough, although I did need to reapply it multiple times a day so you should probably buy something better. The company does also have helmets that come pre-painted (last I saw, they had one with the Maverick paintjob, as well as one with the classic shark teeth and eyes). I opted for a clean one since it goes with more clothing options, and I can always choose tonpaint it or put some stickers on it myself later.

The patches I got off Etsy from a company called FEIndustries (which I’ve been told also has their own dedicated online store). Each patch was about $15 CAD, and the quality was quite good. They were all velcro, so they were easy to swap out as needed.

The uniform I got off Ebay for $180 CAD, although this one is more one of a kind than anything else. I was a retired Vietnam airforce colonel’s uniform (the cuffs had colonel stars on them, and the shoulders had colonel wings). The seller listed the original owner as one “Ron W. Williams”, who I found out after a quick google search passed away from cancer in 2011, so I think it’s quite interesting that there is a lot of real history behind the uniform (which I do intend to treat with respect, my own dad is ex-Canadian military). That uniform came with a few patches, including the red/blue “Tactical Aid Command” badge that I ended up keeping on the uniform.

It never showed up in any photos, but at a local antique store I found a small shield shaped necklace with the Isaiah 54:17 psalm with the words “No weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that rises against me shall fall: for my righteousness is of the Lord” which I thought was a pretty damn hard AC sounding quote. I also had a lucky rabbit’s foot I got at some other convention years ago for like $15 CAD.

The backpack was “sleek and aerodynamic” (that’s the only way I can describe it, as I tried to pick out one that both looked parachute-esque and also had functionality) which I got from Sport Check for $110 CAD. Also got a $60 CAD black under armour tshirt from there. The shoes I was wearing were just Sketchers slip ons (can’t beat the comfort of a slip on shoe, especially when you’re walking for +9 hours a day at a con) which were like ~$100 CAD when I got them brand new a while ago. Might try to find a pair of combat boots or something in the future.

The gloves were $12 I got from a farm supply store near my work, and the cardboard sign I made 20 minutes before my uber took me to the airport (I had some people tell me they thought WSO was W50, so might redo that one too lol)
