Yeah, i noticed the chin on mine was off-center.
Would you mind explaining how you made the neck piece for your suit? Ive never done any sewing before...

Hey guys,
I've been following this one for a little while, and it led me to sharing the suit with my friend as they want to go to a con as Flash, while I go as Reverse Flash.
On that – any updates on the Reverse Flash suit that was briefly mentioned?
So far, I've come across some barely acceptable options, but fear the custom route will be outside my budget when I look at the cost:benefit side of things.
Then again, if the quality were right, the price doesn't really matter quite as much for me!
But I'm keen to see what any of you have come across, or if there's an update on the suit this seller was providing.
Cheers!

Yeah even with my customization to my Etsy/ Ebay/ AliExpress Reverse Flash suit, I'm not 100% happy with it.
The belt, mask and emblem are separate and probably 99% screen accurate, I'd say
but the suit.. nope.
Here's some details on what I did to the suit:
-Weathered yellow areas with brown paints and inks.
-Pants and jacket's gradient were dark green, NOT black. So that also had to be changed.
-The ab panels are uneven (Some are higher than the opposite side)
-2 ab panels are missing. There should be 8. I couldn't fix that.
-The back pattern is the wrong shape. They made it like the Flash's "mountain" gold lining when it should be upside down (reversed lol)
-There was also the faux leather belt that was sewn on. That was removed and replaced with velcro to attach the superior belt
-Velcro was also added on the chest
-Chest is missing the "veins"
BUT.... There's a superior Reverse jacket that was just released by The Jacket Maker recently.
I'm starting talks with them to see if they can make it even more accurate!

Ah, I did see those photos - I didn't realise they were this RF suit!
That's actually much better than I expected. Could almost do since I'm not a regular cosplayer, and only do it a couple of times a year - that's where it's not good to be overly concerned by accuracy. It doesn't fit the cost-benefit analysis. Haha.
That new jacket though, holy cow! I think that will be the way I go. Especially if you can get them to make a few changes!
If only a matching pair of pants could come up.
I'm definitely keen to see the progress on that!
Thanks for the link

Hey, anyone who owns the etsy suit and the xcosure cowl. Would it be possible to cut the neck part from the original cowl and attach it to the xcosure cowl?

Yeah I'm making a handful of photoshop alterations and I must say it's looking pretty spot on to the show.
They DO have pants available as well. Would probably need more changes to those than jacket

Ah, awesome! That's good news. Any chance you could post a couple of pics here? The jacket doesn't appear on the website now, which is a little unnerving! Hopefully it's just temporary.

Recieved my suit today. The zippers on both boots were broken and my belt didn't have the lightning bolts on it. Other than that, everything is great. Everything feels nice and durable and nothing is too uncomfortable.

I also have the same problem with pants that someone else here had. I contacted the seller and they don't want to send me replacements.

It says it's actually fake leather aka pleather.

That would make sense especially given the price.

I don't know if anyone knows this, but the seller also offers a white emblem. They'll send it to you if you ask for it, they just don't have it listed as an option.
