ABOUT BILLY BUTCHER:

Billy Butcher is the ruthless, vengeful leader of the vigilante group The Boys in the comic series and Amazon Prime TV adaptation. Driven by the rape and death of his wife Becky, Butcher is obsessed with taking down powerful superheroes, whom he blames for her demise. A former SAS operative, Butcher is highly skilled in combat and weaponry, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Though morally ambiguous, Butcher is portrayed as a complex antihero, fiercely protective of his team and driven by a deep personal tragedy.

How To Dress Like Billy Butcher

1. COAT – The focal point of this whole costume is Billy Butcher’s incredible trenchcoat with leather shoulder pads. The one featured here is a near exact replica, designed just for a Butcher cosplay like this.

2. SHIRT – Billy Butcher is a huge fan of Hawaiian shirts. You can choose one that suits you best, just make sure it is short-sleeved and dark, with a more subtle pattern than many Hawaiian shirts.

3. JEANS – Get yourself a pair of dark-wash jeans in a relaxed or boot-cut fit.

4. BOOTS – Butcher wears a chunky pair of combat boots that are perfect for stomping on a Supe’s skull. Undo the laces at the top to achieve the right look.

5. SUNGLASSES – Who can get away with wearing black-tinted sunglasses indoors? Only the biggest badasses like Billy Butcher.

6. BEARD – Few men can grow a beard quite so thick and full as Bill’s. Us mere mortals might need to employ the help of a fake beard and mustache set to get the right look.

7. CROWBAR – Billy Butcher’s methods might be brutal but boy are they effective. All he needs is his trusty crowbar and he is ready to take down Earth’s mightiest foes.
