X-men: First Class costumes?

[Lycanthropica]

I posted a thread about fabric help and a lot of people had a lot of great info.

I am going to use Condura which is a brand of ballistic nylon and will be pin stitching the waffle into the navy myself as they did in the film.

I'm a bit too lazy to do the pin stitching for version 1 , but I'm sure that will look amazing! :cool

I did happen across an XMFC screen cap site: My Files

The uniforms appear primarily at the end of the film, so I recommend downloading the "d" and "e" zip files.

I will be using denim, but I'll be using it as a stabilizer under the lighter weight fabrics I'll be using. For the yellow kevlar I've opted to use the back side of a raincoat fabric that is woven, but in a smaller weave than the kevlar. For the navy, I found a seersucker at my local fabric shop that I think is reminiscent enough in the way of texture to do the job. I know it won't be exact, but it's good enough for now. Maybe I'll be brave enough to try Lycanthropica's pin stitching another time



Using the Kwiksew 3389 pattern as a starting point, I made a mockup in the size I need, and then drew all of the piping seams onto that. From there I've ripped the mockup apart and cut along the piping seam lines to get my pattern pieces. Next comes the big step - cutting out the fabric! :thumbsup

Got all of the fabric cut out over the weekend and have begun assembling the various pieces into the larger elements.

Sleeves


Chest pieces to be stitched together with piping inserted


Chest pieces with sleeves


Getting some more piping ready and then I'll be stitching the upper body pieces together.

Hello everyone!

I am happy to find this post.

I'll start with my Magneto helmet. It was very difficult to find the .pdo file, then I want to share with you all.

Glad this is not dead
So, I've noticed people are talking about the custom flight suits. As with every case, Marvel custom makes every hero costume. But what intrigues me the most is Charles and his Tweed jackets. Mostly, his light cream one. Here's a link to the picture. Best one I could find.

Can anyone help me in identifying the type of Jacket?
