I'm after a vest like this, or very close to this.....
Any ideas? (that aren't the original from the film - cos that's eleventy billion dollars....)
TIA

Whatever you find, you'll be needing some pretty serious sewing skills. That's almost entirely custom built!

Out of interest, what film / TV show is that kit from?

I was gonna suggest a custom build. Not be cheap though.

That's a SDU plate carrier that has had it's dye discharged, probably distressed using paint spray, stone and lighter the pouches and extended shoulder pads are custom. Here is the photo of the standards vest and yes you can discharge dye from Nylon to give it an off-white/shabby grey look (it does damage the velcro). 

This is the closest thing I can find available in the market atm.

Is that an UMP with a different stock and... a body kit?... to make it look like it's been encased in a box?

Wouldn’t be difficult to replicate the GitS carrier with one of these at all , be a relatively simple conversion job . ?

Shame the live action was absolutely trash.

Ruined the story and it was piss poor.

I watched that first. 
I actually thought it was good - as I have nothing to compare it to. My opinion may have differed had I read the source material first (as with so many screen adaptations).
Had I not watched it, I'd have never bought the deluxe box set, which I'm currently sat imprisoned reading.
And I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's truly awesome - I can't believe how much of what he's written has happened, given he wrote it over thirty years ago now.
And I love the film, because it brought me to the graphic novels.
So the film isn't all bad.......

Exactly the same for me with the ‘Sharpe’ books , watched the first and second tv progs then bought the ‘Sharpe’s eagle’ book THEN bought the full box set and have now read them umpteen times to the extent I think I’m going to need to buy the whole box set again soon due to the condition of my originals ! ?

Watch the original movie and the SAC series. Read the manga and novels. 100000000x better. The only redeeming factor of the movie was Scarlett.........
