Check out this link
Vighnesh Rubbers - Moulded Rubber Products
Scroll down to the section on Rubber Bellows and look at the left photo.
Maybe someone could get one of those or a size that would work and do thin rubber castings of the outside or inside. Then the thin rubber can be sewn into sections of the sleeve.

Cool.
For a true DIY though I'd be interested what people come up with that involves only what you can get from local stores...

And it seems that you can't just buy rubber bellows. You have to contact a company and probably have to buy huge amounts just for the minimum. I think I'll stick with foam weatherstrips unless Jedi figures out a better idea.

You should at least pull your pockets out, otherwise your costume is way off! Seriously though great job! The back seam looks extremely well done btw. For the bellows what about bending metal coat hangers in loops and insert them into the liner with a border of hot glue, perhaps that would define the rings? Just an idea but seriously amazing and quite a speedy build and you totally pull off the look!

LOL! The poskets on my jeans won't pull out that far (that's what she said) BUT I am going to cut out the pockets of some old jeans and make faux pulled out pockets! :thumbsup

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build
I will seriously consider this. Thanks.
Seems to me that for the sleeves you could take a mold from a toilet plunger and cast it in rubber or another material.
I will seriously consider this. Thanks.

The thing about buying a bunch of chairs or the sections of bellow just for the spine of the chair is that they are short. I found a bunch of companies, all outside the U.S., and I bet if the demand was here to have it they could just get us non-cut sections or a friggin roll of the stuff. Smaller companies take on that kinda stuff and bigger ones can't be bothered with little jobs.

Target had this on sale for 18 bucks a few weeks back, but now its back to $70. Might be a good investment for the part needed

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build
Apparently the shoes were not lined either and I found an image of the inside of the FOOTWEAR tube bag that clearly shows it was just a fiber-glass shell. All the inside is rough and you see the glass matting like you can on the inside of a fiber-glass canoe.
Makes sense. Why do it if no one ever sees it?

If you watch the scene where he first puts them on, you can see black (foam?) on the inside. I believe this is raw foam and no liner.

Yep, those are the hero shoes used for close ups. He (and his stunt men) run around in stunt shoes.
