Michonne Leather Vest
Michonne’s leather vest is an iconic part of her dress. Whilst her headscarf may change, she may don a different t-shirt or she may swap her combats for jeans, her leather vest remains and is instantly recognisable as pure Michonne. The simple design belies the quality of the fabric from which the vest is made and the ease at which Michonne can move freely whist in battle.
Not just for Halloween
With practical pockets and a zipped front, Michonne can be up and running with katana in hand while others are still thinking about it. This beautifully crafted vest is too good to keep just for Halloween or cosplay and we will feel sure it will become as iconic a part of your wardrobe as it has for Michonne. Well worth the investment.

Michonne headscarf
- 71inch x 36inch (180cm x 91cm )
- Aztec pattern
- Ideal headscarf for Michonne
- Available in a variety of prints and colours
When selecting a bandana for Michonne, we have chosed this scarf due to it’s vivid Aztec pattern and vibrant colours. Although Michonne is prone to change her headscarf, she does favour aztec, tribal type prints. At 71 inches, you have a lovely length of fabric with which to work. Tie it round and leave a trailing scarf for a dramatic look, or cut it and fashion it into a headband. It is great to hide any untidy bits around the forehead if you are wearing a wig, and instantly transforms your long black dreadlocks into that classic Michonne portrait.

As The Walking Dead’s number one katana bearing warrior, Michonne wears boots that are both practical and stylish. When suddenly faced with an adversary, her combat boots provide the ideal footwear for standing her ground in a fight. Michonne’s choice of studded leather worn in casual style reveals her individual attitude laced with a strong helping of tough!

Create your own Michonne Boots
Alternatively, if you already have a pair of black or brown combat boots, why not give them a Michonne makeover?
You can quickly turn a pair of plain black boots into a pair of fold over combats that would give Michonne a run for her money.
Any plain black combats will do but long length boots are best. Fold over the legs down to the ankles to create the casual, fold over style worn by Michonne. Next get your hands on a pack of 100 pice pack of Hotfix Iron On, quarter inch Flat Back Silver Glue on Pyramid Studs. Simply affix these pyramid studs in the style shown above and create your own, authentic looking pair of Michonne classic combats!
Cut out fingerless leather gloves
- Finest lambskin leather
- Snap Closure
- Smooth Lined
- Easy to take off
Slip your hands into these genuine leather, fingerless gloves and you won’t just feel yourself transforming into Michonne, you may never go back! These gloves have been designed with practicality in mind. The leather means your hands can breath and the natural ‘give’ of the material means they are comfortable. It is easy to see why Michonne would have chosen such a practical design of glove for wielding her katana. When you’re not being Michonne, and you have to put the katana down, you’ll still find yourself wearing them all the time, we’re sure of it!
Details
Made from the finest lambskin leather, these gloves are a joy to wear. In a fingerless style, they are not just great for role playing the “last samurai”, Michonne, but provide great manual dexterity for performing numerous tasks when you have put the katana down but still need your gloves on. The smooth nylon lining means the gloves slip on and off easily. These gloves are such fine quality and such a joy to wear, we are sure you are going to be needing them to match with all sorts of outfits. Fortunately, they come in a range of color: brown, dark grey, black and red. In a range of sizes to suit all wearers, these gloves will make a great addition to your closet and provide great wear for many occasions.
Michonne Cargo Pants
- Cotton/Spandex (Stretch Denim)
- 7-Pocket Styling – Button closure and zip fly.
- Runs small, order a size up!
These Cargo Pants are an ideal choice for putting together a Michonne costume as they sport a flattering cut and have just the right amount of stretch in them to maintain their shape yet stay comfortable. The snug design is the look Michonne chooses but for those fast moves and swift ripostes, she also needs clothes that have a bit of flexibility and can move with her.
Michone Katana Sword
- Walking Dead Prop Replica
- Includes scabbard
- Requires additional strap to wear
- Dimensions: Sword 34.75 inches long
The only part missing from your Michonne costume now is the weapon that defines this character most, her trusty katana sword. When it comes to slaying zombies, a sword really is one of the most practical choices. No bullets, no need to reload, light to carry, swift and effective.
There are a number of katana swords available. The Walking Dead MC-WD001WS Officially Licensed Samurai Sword is a collector’s treasure and is ideal for display purposes. Siwode’s Walking Dead Michonne’s Katana Sword, T10 Clay_tempered, 40-Inchs is a genuinely deadly weapon that should be respected and treated with caution! Whilst it might be a great defence weapon for those camping trips in the wild, you’ll find it less than ideal as a costume accessory as comic conventions confiscate lethal weapons at the door!
The katana we have selected to complete your Michonne Costume is a prop replica that has been designed for costume and role playing. Check out Walking Dead Katana Roleplay Weapon – Michonne Cosplay Sword for more details.
