A question on fabrics

So, I've designed my costume for Halloween and to provide texture I want the underarmor to have a dimpled look. The problem is I haven't a clue what the fabric is called, it's not just latex, though it does have stretchy properties. As well, there seem to be three materials. One that has divets or holes, another that has raised dimples and the material on his gloves. Thanks, any help would be awesome!

(For clarification, it's the material under the armor plating)

(In this photo you can see the material on his neck has holes or divets and the material on his bicep has the dimples, but his forearm seems to go back to the holes.)

Awesome!!! Finally some thought put into a snake costume!
I would look into the thread going right now about Black Widow from Iron man 2 and the batman dark knight suits. So this isn't an extremely long reply search those two topics in the costume section and you should find what you need.
good luck and I'm so excited to see progress!! :D
 
I found the Black Widow one, but from what I've read it's most conjecture, and that fabric is thinner than the one i'm looking for. I wasn't able to locate the Batman thread you were referring to though. But, thank you for what you did know. Anyone else have input?
 
there is a fabric called prothole mesh that could do the trick. other than that i am not sure. i know porthole mesh is used in some military applications as a method of cooling the body so that could be it.
