89 suit questions
Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a good Easter!
I have been working on a movie quality 89 suit and had a question about the leg armor. Was the armor a full wrap around? Or just a frontal? I have heard mixed reviews. For those of you that have an 89 suit, wha would you recomend? Full wrap around or just a frontal?
Thank you for all your imput!

The original legs where a full wrap around. One piece, seamed down the sides. They look a lot like a skirt as they don't connect under/between the legs, probably for a bit more manuverability.

Re: 89 suit questions
I ask because bob d offers 89 legs that are front half only. Whereas others do full wrap. Just was trying to think what would be the best route to go.

Re: 89 suit questions
if you want movie quality then go with the full wraps. here's a pic of a production copy from PJ.

Re: 89 suit questions
I know jester makes full wrap. I also want them in urethane to match what I already have...

Re: 89 suit questions
I couldn't do a complete cannon version of my '89 only because my legs are a lot bigger than Keaton's. I had to go with 3/4 wraps on mine. The cape covered just about all of it up though so it still looked accurate.

Re: 89 suit questions
Are the full wrap ones available not available in a bigger size?
