BBC Characters Costume Study Season 2 Part 2 - Much

Much Costume Study

Robin Hood Season 2

Much's costume in Season 2 hasn't changed a ton from Season 1 except that he's traded in his crocheted jumper for Robin's waistcoat and he has a much simpler scarf. I love this look of Much's. And I think it's cute that he wears Robin's hand-me-downs. :)

Shirt and Waistcoat:

Much's shirt looks different from the one he wears in Season 1. It looks like a henley style shirt made of linen or something. The waistcoat is the same on Robin wore in season 1. It looks like it's made out of some sort of tapestry fabric and it laces up at the sides. There is brownish trim around the arm holes and neckline.

Hat and Scarf

Much still wears the same hat which looks as though it's a piece of knit fabric sewn in a tube with a criss cross seam on the top. He now only wears one scarf which he might have had from season 1.

Cape

Much's cape appears to be the same as he wore in Season 1 only now it has a hood. It might be a different cape with the same buckle from his cape/satchel.

Coat

His coat is the same, made of what could be leather or oilcloth. Silver studs around the shoulder seams and edges.

War paint, leaves, and netting work great if you want to hide in the forest...

And that's it for Much in Season 2! Hopefully I didn't miss anything. There isn't a lot to say as most of what he's wearing is the same as Season 1. But it's fun to see his subtle changes. If you would like to see the images larger just click on them. I thought it would be nicer to upload the pictures small so it doesn't take so long to see everything. I might fix the older costume studies by reloading the photos smaller one of these days when I have time.

Hope you all have a splendid week!

BBC Character Costume Study Season 2 Part 1- Carter

Carter Costume Study

Robin Hood Season 2

I thought I'd start of my Season 2 costume studies with Carter because I think his costume is pretty awesome...however if you haven't seen Season 2 and don't want any spoilers then you might not want to go any further as some pictures might give some things away about Carter's character. I've cropped most images though to help not give everything away. ;) But I just wanted to warn you...

Main Outfit

Carter wears a chain mail shirt with a black jerkin over it. The jerkin has leather strips across the front that buckle in the center front:

Chain mail bunches out around his neck over his tunic...perhaps this is a hood?

I couldn't find a very good picture of the back but it looks like it's the same as the front with the leather strips minus the buckles:

Black trouser and knee high boots:

Strip of fabric for a gag:

Gag about his neck:

Holy Land Soldier

Tunic made of what looks like linen or some natural fiber. Whatever it is it's awesome and lays beautifully! The England cross is on the front of his long tunic and the royal symbol patch is on the left side of his chest:

Tunic splits in front (and probably back) for ease in walking and riding: (oh and fighting!)

Cape closes with twisted cording attached with little bits of leather that form a loop:

Cape is really long:

England cross is also on the left side of his cape:

Hood drapes down into a full point and you can see his chain mail hood coming out over it:

Here you can see chain mail sleeves under his tunic:

And that's it for Carter...short and sweet but I think his costumes are awesome! Now I've got to decide who to do next... Season 2 is going to be fun! I love this season. :)

BBC Robin Hood Character Costume Study Season 1 Part 8 - Robin Hood

Robin Hood Costume Study

Robin Hood Season One

Robin Hood, Earl of Huntindon and Lord of Locksley, played by Jonas Armstrong, gives up all he has so he can fight for justice and feed the poor. He takes his job seriously but there's still time to have a little bit of fun. :)
And where would this outlaw be with out the wonderful Maid Marian? Together they make a great team in the war against poverty and the Sheriff.
In Season One Robin is a soldier returning home to England from the Crusades. His costume gives him an upright military figure look and has echoes of the crusades with a hint of modern.

Under Shirt

Robin's undershirt is basically like a sleeveless t-shirt.

Shirt

I'm not sure what Robin's shirt is made of. Could be a knit or linen...I can't tell. It's frayed around the neckline...he's rocked this shirt for awhile!

A gauze like knit fabric in strips wraps around the sleeves...I LOVE this:
The edge of the sleeves are really frayed like the neckline:

I think this is a different shirt or else the same one with out the fabric strips wrapped around the sleeves.

Back:

Green Shirt

Robin's green shirt is pretty much the same as his white one:

The neckline doesn't look frayed yet:

Same gauze/knit strips wrapped around the sleeves:

Here you can see how the fabric is connected in the shoulder seam and he then wraps it around and ties it:

Vest

Robin's vest is made of a what looks like a heavier fabric and has a solid front and back. It laces up the sides to get on and off:

He wears it with his white shirt:

And green shirt:

Leather Vest

Robin's over vest worn over his hoodie is made of dark leather and has medals attached to the front left side:

There is zig-zag stitching down the front and around the hood:

In these photos you can see the stitching on the inside and the orange lining:

His hood has a slash through it...

So his quiver can fit through it:

Clever! :)

So then he can hide in his enormous hood:

And pull it down quick to scold Much for being too noisy:

Grey jerkin/waistcoat

I think this is my favorite article of robin's wardrobe...I love this grey and all the straps and buckles:

And of course there's a place for his quiver in the back:

Hoodie

Robin's hoodie is made of a greenish brown fabric and laces up the front half way:

Hood on:

Detail of trim around hood and front lacing:

The hood laces up the back so it can be undone and fit his quiver through it:

Trousers

Robin's trousers remind me of buckskin pants:

They lace up the sides and front and back:

Cape

Robin's cape reminds me of Allan's, it looks like it's similar fabric. Closes with an awesome circular buckle:

Still room for his hoodie to pop through to give his head a cover:
Earl of Huntingdon

Robin is graced with a cape made of pelts when he returns home to Locksley:

Gaurd Disguise

Robin "borrows" some chanmail to try and save three lives:

Check out those awesome gloves:

Accessories

Recurve bow:

Studded belt:

All his belongings can be slung around his shoulder:

Scarfs:

Quiver

Robin's quiver is made of leather stitched with a whip stitch down the sides.

Here you can see it fits through the lacing in his hood and straps on the shoulders and I'm guessing the bottom strap fits like a belt:

Shoulder straps:

Pretty cool. :)

And that's it for Robin Hood and Season One! I hope you've enjoyed it! I've had fun researching...I'm sure there's tons I've missed, maybe I'll update as I learn more. If there are any characters I missed that you were dying to see more of their costumes just let me know and I will try and come up with something! :)

I'm excited to get started on Season Two!
