Jim Morales Code Lyoko Costume Guide

What You’ll Need

Jim Morales spends his days patrolling the grounds and leading physical education classes at Kadic Academy, dividing his screen time between two distinct everyday outfits. His most recognizable appearance centers on bright red and black athletic gear accompanied by a white forehead sweatband, a trademark cheek bandage, and his coaching whistle.

Because Jim wears functional sportswear, assembling the pieces relies heavily on standard garments rather than intricate armor or sewing. The real focus comes down to nailing the split-color palette and gathering his specific school staff accessories so the outfit is unmistakably Jim rather than someone in generic gym clothes.

The Red Tracksuit and Athletic Top

Jim’s signature gym uniform begins with a short-sleeved red shirt featuring prominent black contrast panels along the sides and shoulders. A Red and Black Contrast Button Down replicates the split-color visual balance of his animated top without requiring custom fabric piecing from scratch. Jim’s build is broad and solid, so choosing a relaxed cut that sits comfortably across the chest and shoulders helps reflect his stocky physical presence on screen. Wearing a simple black undershirt underneath keeps the neckline tidy if you leave the collar slightly open.

His matching bottoms follow the same two-tone athletic scheme. The Red and Black Contrast Stripe Sweatpants provide the vertical black striping that runs down the outer legs. Straight-leg track pants capture his animated silhouette more faithfully than tapered joggers, draping cleanly over a pair of plain white athletic running shoes or cross-trainers.

Headband, Face Bandage, and Grooming

Jim’s face and grooming are what immediately tie the outfit to the character. He wears a thick White Headband pulled straight across his forehead, resting just below his hairline. Underneath, his dark hair is cropped short in a practical, utilitarian cut. If you already have short dark brown hair, the headband covers enough of the forehead and hairline that styling takes only seconds. If you need a wig, a basic short brown synthetic wig with minimal styling under the band handles the job neatly.

The square adhesive bandage placed high on his left cheek is one of his most defining visual quirks. Small Face Bandages applied directly over the cheekbone reproduce this detail cleanly without requiring latex or makeup adhesives. Facial movement and perspiration can loosen standard bandage adhesive after several hours of walking an exhibit floor, so carrying a few extra strips in your pocket makes quick touch-ups painless.

Coaching Accessories

As Kadic’s physical education teacher, Jim rarely appears without the tools of his trade hanging ready around his neck. A Gym Whistle with Lanyard sits centered against his chest, paired alongside a handheld digital Stop Watch. You can loop both cords around your neck at slightly different lengths so the whistle rests just above the timer, preventing them from clacking together as you walk.

Alternate Campus Supervisor Look

When monitoring the school grounds or handling detention duties outside of gym class, Jim swaps his athletic uniform for a more casual staff outfit. This secondary look replaces the red tracksuit with a Burgundy Quarter Zip Sweater and Tan Sweatpants. The sweater features a high ribbed collar that zips partway down the chest, worn loosely over standard khaki-toned fleece pants. This setup offers a comfortable option for cooler venues while staying entirely true to the show, particularly when paired with the same facial bandage and whistle.
