Hades costume

 Here is recent addition to my collection, Hades’s costume worn by Stephen Lovatt on the episode “Looking Death in the eye” from season 5.

This costume includes a red velvet long sleeves robe, studded gloves, metal necklace, metal crown, studded boots and an original written tag of the character costume pieces.

 

Hades character changed his robe during season 5. However the crown, metal necklace, boots and gloves were worn in all his appearances.

This costume was sold on April 2021 on eBay. A few weeks before this costume and others arrived to the seller from the trading card company that made the card sets for this show, they were sent these direct from the shows to cut up and use for trading cards, but these never got cut up. Sadly, I guess the black leather top and trousers were cut up for trading cards.

Gloves and boots.

Hades's cloak

Directly from New Zealand this screen worn Hades cloak arrived this week. Extremely well done, the condition is awesome for having been almost 30 years old.

This cloak was used by Hades played Erik Thomson in the episode “Death in Chains”(Nov, 1995) from season 1. The last appeareance of the cloak was in the episode “Beware of greeks bearing gifts”(Jan, 1996) from season 1, worn by Deiphobus as the “Dark Warrior”, played by Cameron Rhodes, in Helen nightmare. There is tag inside written “Deiphobus Dark Warrior”. Also, was used by Hades character in the HTLJ series in the episode “The other side” from season 2 (Oct, 1995). 

This cloak is made of purple velvet, leather and the skulls in the front part are made of kind of solid material. For just be a cloak, it never ceases to surprise me how the wardrobe department work over every single detail each character costume.
