Gordon Freeman – Half-Life Lab Suit Costume

Gordon Freeman is the hero of most of the Half-Life series of games. I think Blue Shift might be one of the exceptions. This one is a little old school but it would be fun to dress up like his character from the original Half-Life game. One thing to note is you don’t really ever see him in his lab coat outfit. You do pass by him a couple of times in the Blue Shift game. There’s also a way to play Half-Life 1 in third person mode so you can see his backside.

First throw on a blue button up shirt.
