Lone Ranger outfit
Let's face it, as much as we love Clayton Moore and the Lone Ranger, the 1950s era baby blue outfit with the flashy holster rig is not exactly realistic. The new movie brings an opportunity to give the Ranger a new look. What elements would you like to see in a Lone Ranger outfit? I would like to see a more period authentic outfit for him. The white hat, red bandana and black holsters and black mask are a must. I think a vest would add to the look. Perhaps a white or gray shirt with black or tan trousers would work.

I'd like to see the film stick with the blue pants and shirt with the red bandana and Stetson-styled hat.
I couldn't bear to see a new Lone Ranger in anything but a blue outfit with the white hat, black holsters, etc.
i would not be happy unless he had the blue costume as Clayton wore it and the gun belt. The only other color that might be acceptable would be a dark blue costume but the red bandana, white hat and gun rig would have to be a part of it. I never did care much for the red & black costume.
Neckerchief RED, hat White and uniform powder Blue. The Lone Ranger is a timeless creation and Hollywood's latest efforts to muddy Amercian mythos to make it more "realistic" is short sighted and just a current trend. Stick with the tradition. People appreciate it more in the long run. And Tonto should not be made to be a woman either.
Those of you have have the telephone number of contact for the Lone Ranger outfit, please disregard the number. Contact clarence.thomas2@navy.mil until further notice. Thank you.
I think the sky-blue suit still belongs on the Ranger. Admit it; how practical was the batsuit (cape got in the way, cowl blocked vision) or even the mask itself, which Clayton admitted did tend to block side vision?
How practical was Zorro's getup? And while Roy Rogers' was slightly more period, it was still ostenatious for a cowboy.
I vote to keep the suit the way it is.
Now I just have to find out what all this is about a new movie...
For me it would be down right sacriligeous to even consider changing one thing about Clayton Moore, The Lone Ranger. I am obsessed I guess, and when I have photos taken of myself dressed like The Lone Ranger, I even shave my moustache off, and I've had this moustache for a long time.
You can't change anything about The Lone Ranger no more than you could change the color of the sky.
For me there was only one Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore, and all the details about his character.
I've read a lot of stuff regarding the Lone Ranger. I've done a lot of research also. I don't believe he ever wore a white hat. Sure it looks white because all they had back then was bleck and white film, si naturally everything was either black or white. were you aware that his mask was actually purple. Another thing is that very few leather makers get the holsters right. Do you know precisely how many bullet loops there should be?
Keep it the same. Great looking cowboy outfit. Clayton had the great physique to fill that outfit, the other fill for one year did not have the muscles of Moore. His pants were very baggy and looked like he was sickly.
I know it's not really the subnject but I have Grandchild who is a real Lone Ranger fan. He wants to wear Lone Ranger underwear. Was there ever such a product put out?
I like the way they are drawing him in the new Dynamite Comics series. It looks sort of "period correct". I like the retro Red and Black as well as the all Blue. Lose the pant cut that looks like tights though.
As far as other heroes go, all of them have been seen in other costumes. Superman, Batman, Spiderman all have had moments where their costumes were different. One of my favorite aspect about LR is when he goes undercover and disguises himself. It was one of my favorite aspects of Wild Wild West along with the gadgetry.

No, sir. This is the West, sir.
When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.
Leave Clayton Moore's own design and Nudie Cohn made powder blue skinny pants and shirt design without modification. Clayton's masculine mucles filled out his cowboy duds perfectly; the new Lone Ranger would need to be" built" like Clayton . John Hart did fill in for 2 early contract dispute seasons and as mentioned by some commentator earlier, he could not fill out that sleek Lone Ranger outfit and Mr. Hart looked very " sickly " in those cowboy duds.
At the begining of the movie, I would like to see the statement: "This movie is dedicated to the memory of Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels, who are once and forever The Lone Ranger and Tonto" Terry Moon.
Again & again ; if a male wears something not common in the uniform look of limited diversity within menswear; both genders mock on his uniqueness or thinking outside the box as: " there must be something wrong with you "! Being implied is supposed transvestism or homosexuality. A great ironic cross-dressing label because it isn't the male who guilty of transvestism but the female/woman. A woman can be wearing everything blue denim , cowboy boots and looking like Patrick Brady of the Roy Rogers t.v. show and insinuate to a male wearing skinny jeans that is wearing womenwear; there is no such thing a female jeans or pants for that matter; they are " transvestite jeans" .
