Gambit is a fictional character that resides in the world of Marvel. Developed by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990. Gambit is what is known as a mutant, who possess superpowers. Gambits have the power to control kinetic energy and do with it what he wants.
He’s also very adept with card throwing, especially when it’s combined with his powers. His weapon of choice is a staff. He mainly appears in the X-Men series of comics. Channing Tatum will star as Gambit in the upcoming solo film coming in 2018.
The Gambit costume we will be focusing on in this article will be based around the comics version. I will leave links to all the products used to bring this costume to life along with some information on the products as well.

The Gambit costume brown trench coat can be acquired on Amazon. This is made in the style of a steam punk outfit. The trench coat is made from imitation suede. There are 5 sizes available and a custom option as well.

This balaclava has been received very well in the Amazon reviews. This Action Character Comic Book Hero Costume Wig With Balaclava. Dusty Brown Windswept Hairstyle With Attached Black Balaclava.
Gambit Cosplay Pink Stripe Leggings
These Gambit cosplay leggings weren't easy to find. I did however find a Yoga shop that styles these for {Women}. Artwork printed all over legging.The are Constructed from 88% polyester, 12% elastan. Elastic waistband and stretchy knit fabric allows you to move. For in-between sizes, choose the larger size. Product dimensions refer to the garment measurements, not the measurements of the person
Military Olive Drab Jacket
Here I found 2 different pairs of cosplay boots for Gambit on Amazon. I feel the blue 121-Amos Steampunk Boots - Victorian Costume Shoes are more authentic to the Gambit comic costume.
But these silver adult Men Cosplay Boots Halloween Leather Shoes Costume Accessories seem to do the trick.
X Men Trade Mark Belt Buckle / Belt
The last element to the Gambit cosplay outfit is the X-Men belt buckle which can be found on Amazon. This attaches to your existing belt and it also needs a belt with a large buckle so keep that in mind. It is perfect for the costume but according to the reviews, it won’t hold up to everyday use which is understandable considering the price.
Middle Finger Tape Compression Gloves Pair
There are a number of ways to create Gambits middle finger gloves. You could just cut up any cheap pair of tights or gloves , but these Middle Finger Tape Alternative Compression Gloves Pair seem to do the trick.
Gambit Weapon Telescopic Bohstaff
Gambit usually carries a deck of playing cards to charge with his kinetic energy to make them explode. He also often uses a telescoping bohstaff to attack in close combat. Here is a telescopic wand / staff I found on Amazon that will help complete the costume.
Gambit Pink Playing Cards Costume
One of Gambits weapons is Pink Playing Cards which he powers up using his mutant abilities. Just because it's Gambit's signature use of his powers, and one that he frequently utilizes, doesn't take away from the fact that charging a deck of cards with explosive energy and then using them as projectiles is, without question, pretty creative.
These pink version of the white Nautic deck. The artwork is a modern version of the original Nautic No. 55 from 1919. The perfectly mirrored 2 way back creates a seamless pattern that entrances and invites you into a mystical world.
