How to Make Assassin’s Creed Altair Costume
First, collect good picture of the costume as possible as you can. This would be very helpful when you are planning and shopping the fabrics. Also make sure you are skilled at cutting and stitching. If not, hire a seamstress to realize your design.
Second, find nice fabric. A good choice for the robe and cloak would be canvas or linen. Since they are used a lot in the middle age and look like the texture used in the game. The natural canvas color is really ideal to make the costume.

Forth, make sure the costume look is finished delicately. According to the picture you collect, find proper fabric for the belt/sash. Also in this regard, use the color rich in a dark shaded texture, which made of 55% rayon 45% linen.
Fifth, choose if we want to make the leather parts out of real leather or leather. If the budget permits, the real leather tends to be more ideal as some kind of leather could have a nice look and texture.
Sixth, use the ribbon for the “sleeves” of the sleeveless robe. While working on the patterns, the robes, shirts, pants and hood looks fairly simple to achieve. However the hardest part of the Altair costume would be the belts. The custom patterns for the large “belt’ and hardness seeming boots are both the finishing touches of the ensemble. The sharply vivid details attached matters a lot. You can just finish a detailed cover on a pair of cheap boots!
Finally, find the accessories, the knives and sword. It would not be a problem as long as you find detailed video tutorial online.
Then do the armor on his left arm, another significant detail of his cool look. This could be done in many ways. Sculpting the piece and making a fiberglass or resin copy, out of cract foam, etc.

All in all, for Assassin's Creed Altair Costume,the fabric choice plays a big role for its good result. If you really worry the budget, blend leather and faux leather for the leather-should part. Some hard textures like linen, canvas and leathers like pig suede are more likely to vividly express that feel of original look.
