Amazon Total (free shipping) : $23.96
Airsoft GI Total with "2013memorial" Coupon WITH UPS ground: $168.28

Use those $37.36 and get some Camo Clothes from a local store or eBay, you'll get it cheaper than getting them from airsoft stores.
Don't need/want Camo Clothing?
Get a Vest UTG Vest
or perhaps spare magazine: Magazine
Or
Red Dot Scope
Or
Gloves & Knee Pads
That's pretty much it, see you on the field!
Edit: Just to make this clear, I tested my pyramex goggles with my 400FPS KWA SR10 with 0.25, sprayed around 5 shots to the lens and not even a scratch.. They're for about $20+ on airsoftgi/evike.. Amazon has better prices on most of the things.
Edit #2: Thanks to Bily_Mays for the correction on the coupon.
I'm not sure what you can buy them in the UK, but Amazon.com came up with a "UTG Law Enforcement SWAT Vest" for about $40/£25. Camping/hiking/outdoors shops might have what I can only imagine might be called a "utility vest" which would look the part.
Also, my only other bit of advice for this otherwise wonderful costume would be to dirty up that shirt a little. We're talking a man living in the wilderness.
This is my 'setup' right now. It's balanced well and works just fine, though I do take off the air tank to run it as a secondary with a holster.
I would definitely recommend getting this holster -- the one made by Tippmann is utter garbage. This one is adjustable, so it works with most pistols and can fit the TiPX with some work.
12-gram CO2 cartridges fit in shotgun shell loops like a glove. So do 10-round tubes, the best way to reload your magazines as you go.
I use this vest and it fits five extra magazines: two for each of the bottom-forward large pockets, and one in the pocket directly above that with the four shell loops. Those will fit CO2 cartridges perfectly.
A word of warning, though... while this vest works perfectly fine, it's a bitch to clean and I'm starting to regret that I didn't get a MOLLE vest with mag pouches. You can't hold more than five magazines with this vest.
Also, consider getting the FXR carbine-mod when it becomes available next month. And even if you don't like that, the ZetaMag (which is an extended magazine that gives you 20 shots per magazine) is definitely worth a look.
for those who are looking for the vest

Tactical Vest: Thatchers actual Vest is an SAS Pigskin Tactical Vest but I couldn't get one so I used a UTG Swat Vest like this one https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Arms-Gear-Operation-Enforcement/dp/B004R7G33K/ref=sr_1_19?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1467121154&sr=1-19&keywords=tactical+vest or this one https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Law-Enforcement-SWAT-Vest/dp/B001BR1O74/ref=pd_sim_200_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=51ze9lCyrXL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL320_SR234%2C320_&refRID=NWY8XRCKHXNYN40KJTF1

I'd suggest using this as a base, then removing all the pockets, sewing in your own and then filling them with foam and sewing them shut.
Sure! Here is the link.

This is a better vest. I know people like to rag on crossdraw vests, but if you can't blow $60+ on a MOLLE vest and MOLLE pouches, they are hard to beat for airsoft; depending on which one you get, it's a pretty well-rounded setup capable of supporting a variety of guns (pistols, ARs, and more exotic magazines in the top right chest pocket).
I have a friend who bought this vest: http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Law-Enforcement-SWAT-Vest/dp/B001BR1O74/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1314551397&sr=8-3
He is about your size and it tightens up nice on him. It has a pretty huge range you can adjust it to. However the top button that covers the zipper broke off. But the rest of the vest seems okay.
A bit late, but a few years ago I bought a tactical vest. All the pockets work perfectly with little bottles of alcohol, or medium sized flask shaped bottles. You could combine that with something army-ish? I usually went as a Guerrilla (cargo pants/tactical vest) Gorilla (gorilla mask/gloves).
I've gone to my Army Navy Surplus store nearby, and the closest thing I could find is similar to this.
I was considering something like this or this, but if I can find something more accurate it would be better.
You mean, "A handy guide to drinking in OTR and OTR-Approved NKY bars."
Seriously.
Take this, if you plan on going to about 60% of these bars: http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Law-Enforcement-SWAT-Vest/dp/B001BR1O74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395274850&sr=8-1&keywords=kevlar+vest
