Re: Licensed Batman Related Leather Goods. *Batman BEGINS Updates Posted 11/27*
I get making a different boot design that can be worn with different suits but the Begins gauntlet hasn't been done for this kind of suit. Why not make it with the correct style, assuming it's attached?
Good Question....and I'll do my best to explain, this is really a Dave question but here goes.
In the case of the TDK Leather jacket, the forearm gauntlets were part of the jacket because they too were part of the movie suit. As a 'replica' we did the same thing in that case and took it one step further and made them adjustable. They were offered together with the jacket because they were never meant to be separate...not in the movie and not in our product either. Removable, yes...an entirely different product, no.
In the case of Batman Begins, the forearm armor you see on our jacket is just how the torso sleeve armor was done in the movie. The 'gauntlets' he wore were separate...and as such we did not want to make them part of THIS jacket.
This makes wearing the Begins jacket a different experience over the TDK jacket. This time the jacket can easily be worn open and unzipped as there is no overlapping chest plate, and the lack of 'permanent' shark fin detailing on the forearms makes it easier overall to wear.
The smooth forearms, again 'movie accurate' makes it real easy to complete the whole Batman look with the addition of the Pre-Suit gloves.
Once again, the Pre-Suit accessories have become highly requested designs and we're doing our best to be attentive to what exactly the market is looking for from UD Replicas.......as well as every once and a while throw some surprises out ourselves.
