I have a devilishly clever idea, but I would need to know more about custom work and also how to do a bit more DIY ( Read more... )

I would suggest a green vest, black shirt and a cravat with the symbol in it instead of on the chest.Black pants and either a green or black bowler hat could top it off.

When you find a railway lantern I would suggest getting a battery powered light. Use green cellophane or theatrical Rosco brand gel to color the light. An LED or florescent light will take away any heat issues.It would be cool if you could get the light bulbs that look like a flickering candle though. ^_^

Oo, I like the idea of the cravat. I think a tie pin in the cravat with the symbol on it would look very nice as well. Personally, I'd be more fond of the top hat than the bowler. You'll just have to make sure to strike a good balance between green accessories and the rest of the outfit or else it'll look a little silly. Pictures as you go please!

could also try electroluminescent wire (battery powered) to go from the lamp to the ring

The bowler might make him look a bit too much like a steampunk riddler.

You're familiar with the Gaslight Justice League figurine right? There's some great ideas on that one.

It's funny actually; my friend and I were trying to figure out what to do with the yards and yards of thick green cloth that we have, and she suggested a steampunk Green Lantern Corps group... ...do you plan on going to any comic cons in this outfit?
