Carbon Costume Men
Spencer Shay from iCarly
Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, iCarly. He is the older brother of Carly Shay, and a parental figure for her and her friends. Eccentric and childish, he enjoys creating art out of recycled materials. Despite his hyperactive and silly personality, Spencer is very protective of his younger sister. In the reboot, he becomes a wealthy artist following the success of a renowned sculpture.
Tyrian Callows from RWBY
Tyrian Callows (voiced by Josh Grelle in English) is an associate of Dr. Arthur Watts and a supporting antagonist in the anime series RWBY. Tyrian has gold eyes and a long braid. If your hair isn’t long enough to style in this way, you have a few options available. First, you could purchase a long brown wig and braid it yourself; otherwise, if your hair is long enough to support a braided ponytail extension, one of those will suffice instead. Tyrian is a sadistic serial killer who often bursts into unprompted bouts of maniacal laughter. His costuming includes a white open-front vest and matching pants, along with bandages on his arms, forearm guards, a chest harness, and brown boots. He disguises his scorpion tail by winding it around his waist like part of his belted harness.
Claude from Grand Theft Auto III
Claude is the silent protagonist of the Grand Theft Auto III game. Also a minor character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Claude is a mysterious criminal with vague origins. By the end of the game, Claude is one of the most notorious men in Liberty City, with many gangs and other criminals hoping to take him out. Claude has dark hair and a barely-there five-o’clock shadow. If you don’t want to grow one of your own, a little eyebrow pencil dotted over your chin and cheeks can achieve a similar effect. Claude’s main costume consists of green cargo pants, a bomber jacket with bronze zippers, black t-shirt, and a pair of blue sneakers.
Waymond Wang from Everything Everywhere All at Once
Waymond Wang (played by Ke Hyu Quan) is the husband of Evelyn and father of Joy in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Waymond (or, at least, a version of him) is the person who first alerts Evelyn to the existence of multiple universes and enlists her to help put a stop to Jobu Tupaki, the great evil threatening them all. Waymond wears glasses when he is from the same universe as Evelyn, but takes them off when his other self jumps into his consciousness. He wears a green striped shirt and cargo pants and has a fanny pack that he uses as a devasting weapon.
Jake from Subway Surfers
Jacob Bressler is the protagonist of the mobile game Subway Surfers. Better known by his nickname, Jake, he is the leader of the Subway Surfers, suited to his confidence and charm. His creative spirit is restless, as he’s always dreaming of the next cool thing to do. Jake enjoys street art and inventing new skate tricks that are often a bit dangerous. Use fabric markers or paint to draw the “Sub Surf” logo on the cap.
Wayne from X
Wayne (played by Martin Henderson) is the producer behind The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn flick at the heart of Ti West’s Texas-based horror movie X. Wayne is a standard southern cowboy, with long curly hair, a twang, and a white cowboy hat. He is the older boyfriend of Maxine, who he left his previous wife for. Wayne wears a pretty generic outfit with dark jeans and a white hat, but his costume also includes a gold watch, which speaks to his larger aspirations. During the film, he also shows that he wears a pair of extremely revealing skivvies under his jeans, so if you’re going for authenticity, you may want to invest in a set of men’s white bikini underwear.
John Lennon from Yellow Submarine
John Lennon is one of the singers and guitarists of The Beatles. He writes many of the band’s songs with Paul McCartney. His other band members include George Harrison and Ringo Starr. In 1968, they starred in the animated movie, Yellow Submarine. The plot revolves around the Fab Four defeating the Blue Meanies, and of course, riding in a yellow submarine. The aesthetic is very colorful and trippy. The band released an album under the same name featuring the songs in the movie. Iron on the pink flowers to the shirt and use the fabric paint for the lines down the pants.
Spike from Subway Surfers
Spike is a character in the mobile game Subway Surfers. He can be unlocked with 200 Spike’s Guitars tokens. His appearance is based on rock and metal music, complete with leather vest, combat boots, and a red mohawk.
Jackson from X
Jackson (played by Kid Cudi) is the male lead in The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn movie at the heart of Ti West’s horror film X. Jackson is a Vietnam War veteran who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film along with fellow actors Bobby-Lynne and Maxine. Jackson served as a Marine and still wears his dog tags. When trying to recreate his look from the film, there are a few ways you can choose to go about it. By focusing more on the colors used (a pale yellow shirt and light blue suit), you may have more options available to you. You could also go for a men’s disco costume in a similar color. And if you’re really committed to portraying Jackson perfectly, and are willing to shell out to do so, you might even find a vintage leisure suit in a matching color.
Mr. Knight
Mr. Knight is a character in the Marvel Disney+ series, Moon Knight. He is the alter ego of Steven Grant, who is another alias and identity of Marc Spector, portrayed by Oscar Isaac. The titular hero encompasses three individuals — Marc, Steven, and (spoiler!) Jake Lockley — who serves as the avatar of the Egyptian god, Khonshu. While sharing the same moon emblem and glowing eyes of the hero suit, this look better fits Steven’s posh persona.
