Superman returns costume

[kenobibale]

hello all,
so with tron legacy having become to difficult to do i am going to re-do and upgrade my superman returns costume, i have a B.A suit and its great but the "racing stripes" are a little wonky, so i am prob gonna get a ricky's custom costume, anyone have experience with ricky? from emailing him he seems like a good dude.

i also have some red micro suede on the way for the cape,
and i have the belt and shield from costumebase which i got when the movie came out and used on my last suit, i do have one question regarding the sheild, i plan on using velcro to attach the shield but i am wondering if i need to stretch the suit out before i sew on the velcro strips or can i sew them on and the suit will stretch round them if you know what i mean?

thanks for the help everyone

Hey JoeR thanks for the link, man there was a lot of effort put into that suit, the lengths they went to lol things like making sure there were no seams on the side of his shirt cause you would see that when flying, just crazy details lol

I've had two good experiences with Ricky and one bad experience.

I bought and paid for a Superman Returns costume from Ricky and never received it. He ignores all my emails now and has left me high and dry... Don't buy from him...

I had no problem getting the products... I just was not very thrilled with the products themselves. The boots look like pleather over rain boots and the cape is made of a tarp like material not a leather like material.
