Post your batman suits

I don't have a suit put together with yet because I just finished it but hope to have something soon.

I am pleased though but glad it is over. Any questions write me at artsee1@earthlink.net or stop by my site sometime artsee1.com.

The best way to deal with the sweat, is a little trick that a good friend gave me, a couple years ago... Panty liners.

You just stick a few around the inside of the cowl, using their own adhesive backing, it REALLY helps absorb a good amount of sweat, so that it doesn't drip out and all down your chest. You can even stick a couple in the front neck area, if your specific cowl has the room. But usually you have to do that after the cowl is on.

It sounds silly, but it works.

And nothing prevents you from sweating. You don't really get hot, unless you're wearing a wetsuit or something like it, but a few guys do anyway. But a big rubber membrane wrapped around your head, preventing the evaporation of sweat that comes out of your head normally, is just going to collect inside the cowl and drip down. Yuck, huh? :sick But there's no way around it.
 
There's a narrow band of temperatures that are comfortable too. Right around 60 degrees F is just right. 70s-too hot 50s- too cold Its all worth it though. Liam's panty liner tip really works!
 
Hey, all.... this is my first post, so I want to use it to leave a good impression off the bat (no pun intended)

Some of you know me another mesage boards such as BOTB, LoH, TDH, The Hunter's Lair, andthe SHH forums. For those of you that don't know me, here's a rundown of my suit:

The armor and legs I recieved from a guy out in Cali. the belt is a Rubies begins, as are the gloves with foamies "89" styled armor on them. The boots were made with ankle-high boots and some custom facades. the cape was made by my aunt. Came out a little short as she didn't totally follow the pattern, but the 9-foot wingspan makes up for it.

the cowl is a Bronze Armory Begins cowl.

these pics were taken at a local toy drive.... it was the debut of the BA cowl and I've very pleased with it. Feels like it was made just for me :)

Just wanted to share

'Brat

p.s.,
I also have a jedi knight, a predator, and a TDK Joker under my belt. All of which are wonderful :)
 
Hey Tim! Glad to see you made it over as well:thumbsup
Well here is my DE suit, which soon I will be finished. All I need is new cape, belt, boots, and gloves. I have a nice pleather one coming though!
The cowl is the Reevz DE, pants are from a cheap costume, (needs to be replaced, having a hard time with my age:unsure) no belt atm, gloves have been replaced, but not pictured, shirt is masscloseouts.com with screenprinted bat. BTW, due to my age, AND my height, I am planning on an OYL Robin

I finally was able to join and look forward to being part of the RPF!

My Batsuit was my first costume project and I start it in June of 2005 for Halloween that year. It led to getting TK armor and it rolled on from there.

The chest and legs are refinished Sonar Suit and I made the cape, boots and gloves.
 
Love your suit. The only thing I would do is trim the top of the right eye hole


Do NOT trim away the edge of the eyes. That would ruin the look of an '89 cowl.

To get your eyes more centered inside the holes of the eyes of the cowl, you pad up the inside/top of the cowl with 1/2" layers of furniture foam that you can get at most fabric supply places. If one layer doesn't bring it up high enough, add another. Just cut out an oval shape of foam and use a couple of spots of gel super glue to make it stick.

You may also want to try padding out the inside/back of the cowl as well. That way, your face will be pressed up against the front of the cowl better. It's obviously big on you and you need to make it look like it was made FOR you. You can help do that by making it more skin tight on you.

That's a PJWares cowl, isn't it?
