CW Arrow costume

[forgotten_aria]

My gym is having theme nights (as part of the fright night lights for the CrossFit open. I'm boycotting the games because of their transphobic change to the athlete gender category rules, but my gym has nothing to do with those rule changes,so I am participating with the gym only activities.)

Last week was 80s, this week was superheroes. The catch is I have to be able to do a workout in the costume, so I threw together a season 1 CW Arrow costume. Basically I made fake arrows with the printer (with lots of error prints) and a quiver and sewed a hood. I also bought some fake leather, but I didn't end up wearing the jacket for mobility and heat reasons. The pants were amazing though. They made it through thrusters with no issues!

I felt a little silly with my choice, since Steven Amell (the actor who played the Arrow) can do Salmon ladder, handstand pushups, etc. while delivering dialog and I can't even do a jumping chest to bar. I'm still pretty happy with how it came out and got lots of compliments while lurking in the dark. I had to take the quiver off because I didn't quite get the straps right.
