Great pics. I assume it’s one of the few Blaidon Props cowl that are out there ?

Interesting... you can actually see print lines in a few places.

I think it's one of these:

Yes. If it’s one of these it was made by Blaidon Props.

Yes. If it’s one of these it was made by Blaidon Props.

Wait, does that mean this isn't a legitimate cowl from the production? A 3rd party replica? Sorry, I'm not familiar with Blaidon Props.

Their social media leads one to believe they had a hand in at least the suits at the pop-up exhibits. Based in the U.K.

Who has it??? I'd make them an offer

I can't get a handle on the thread color on these cowls. Looks brown in these shots though it might be weathering/color balance. It looks white in others and grey/black in some pictures. Also looks a bit thicker than normal sewing thread, maybe embroidery thread? Anyone have any thoughts?

Some more of the Carl's Jr. promotion in the stores. Looks like the same set.

If it’s meant to look like a handsewn leather cowl, try looking for #5 waxed nylon thread.

Similarly thick thread (just unwaxed) for industrial sewing machines is #138 thread, or size FF in military terms.

I’ve used both for sewing LOTR and similar medieval projects, and you can get a very professional look even when handsewing.

Neat! Here's a post he made about them:



So there's only about 35 of these. Interesting that he made gauntlets for them, yet the sweepstakes cowls didn't seem to come with any. It looks like Andy Serkis did bring one of the Blaidon Props sets complete with the opposite gauntlet when he went on Good Morning Britain, though:

His name—Lewis White—is in the credits of The Batman and he's worked on films in the past like the new Star Wars movies, Justice League, and The Flash, so it seems like he worked on both the suits used in the movie and the promotional costume pieces:

That hand stitching doesn't look like fun at all.

One thing is that the stitching holes are made in the mold itself, according to one of the creators. It would be great to see what the inside of the top of the cowl looks like, and if these props also have the "skullcaps" in them.
