If you have the body for it, a morph suit. If not, a muscle suit would do.

Thanks, that's a great idea. Any ideas on how to make the weave pattern on his armor?

I'm working on this idea as well. And it's been a long process.
I've got a newb build thread here.
I started planing and build this when there were only concept pictures and a few on the set shoots. So from what I could see, it looked like the material was maybe Cordura, so that's what I've gone with. I'm using spandex for the base (see post #4), and Cordura for the texture detail. However, this is a very long and tedious process and it may not reflect the detail of the screen used costume.
Check this out for some pictures of the Screen used costume.
After having seen these pics, I realized that the material was different then I thought. But I'm still not sure what it is. It seems to have actual raised detail so I don't think it's just a print.
For my sisters suit (Shuri costume), we bought a black mesh to sew on top of the spandex to try and imitate the screen used suits texture. Not exact, but might turn out looking cool (in progress pic).
My sister had some cloth from a dance uniform that has a similar look to the screen used suit. But it was pink, we didn't know what it was called, and we couldn't find anything similar in black.
My thought is, if you can find a suitable material that matched the look of the base costume, then adding the leather (pleather) details wont be to hard. It'll be a lot easier then my method of adding lots of cordura pieces to a spandex base.

Marvel loves to silicon print on spandex (or other stretch materials), so it's a good bet that that's what this is. That's how Daredevil, Cap, Falcon, Deadpool and a number of others were made.
