Carbon Costume Max Payne
Max Payne (voiced by James McCaffrey) is one of many hardboiled detectives in media today. But that doesn't mean he doesn't stand out. His attitude, his way of doing things, and the gritty style of his games have made him a fan favorite for people the world over.
Cosplaying him is more about the attitude than the clothes. After all, it takes some real grit to pull off the ugliest paisley tie you can find, which seems to be his signature! Other than that tie, Payne is all about the basics. Functional black shoes and dark grey slacks pair with a white button up and dark brown leather jacket that's more function than flash. And of course where would Payne be without his belt, holster, pistol, and badge?
