Re: Comic Body suit
Mike, very interesting, what materials are they? I like the look of that a lot.
Kevin that's not helping if we can't get a run of it haha, really like the look of that though.
Chuck you're right of course but most people seem to just think of the thin shiny suits when we hear spandex. And using the back is a good idea but still not what some of us want :up

Re: Comic Body suit
Mike, what you're currently working on is an idea that I've been toying around with for a couple years. I'm really anxious to see how yours turns out.

Re: Comic Body suit
That's what I'm saying.
At least one of the other fabrics shown are Lycra and what "most people" think of is a very narrow view of Spandex or Lycra.
It's more accurate to think of Lycra or Spandex as "stretch" rather than "look".
Just sayin'

That's nice, Mike. Does it have much stretch?
The Black Widow fabric Alex mentions is a heavy lycra with screen printed repeated pattern. It stretches and has convincing weight to it. This particular replica is black lycra with a blue print but other color combinations are possible.
That all being said I could never get a run off the ground. :lol I have access to a wide range of fabrics that would work great for super hero suits but it's never cheap and only way I can access it is to get a run of minimum 10 together. I've found this tough with non-movie replicas.
I would love to find this exact fabic in a grey!
