well i've been trowling the forum over at wasteland weekend' site looking for costume insperation and i gotta say if you want to make an apocalyptic costume their is no better place. the stuff they are doing over there i tell you, it's amazing. it really got me going so i took a look through my old clothes that don't fit me anymore and tried to see what i could take and make something completely unexpected out of.  i wound up finding an old pair of jeans and i thought okay what could i use them for if i was fighting zombies. then it came to me. denim is a light yet extremely durable material. and that lead me to armor. now my shield arm is covered no rotters going to get through that protection. but what about my sword arm. with that in mind i made this.

it's a denim sleeve to protect my sword arm from zombie bites while still giving me complete range of motion to smash undead skulls with. i basically cut off a leg and then cut down the center so i could sew it to fit my arm with string closure on the top for looks and functions. for added protection i kept the cargo pocket stuffed it with a folded up piece of cardboard before sewing the pocket shut. acts as an armor plate.

i still need to whether it some more but i think it looks pretty good, so what do you guy's think yes or no on this. also for my shield arm i found this old bitten up work glove and added a few things to it. i think it adds both protection and style.
