This is true. But considering the alternatives, this beats those Chinese knock-offs, hands down. The overall quality of the suit is very impressive. It doesn't feel cheap at all. The seams are strong and well sewn. It has the appearance of a motorcycle suit, which I'm assuming if you're trying to get someone to build something that they know nothing about, the easiest way to find that middle ground is to start with what they know, and go from there. I'm referring to the manufacturer, not TestEagle.
That's a great idea. It's sold out on Amazon though, but a quick Google search turned up a lot of alternative retailers. The Kydex looks simple enough to mold, you just need a wooden box, some padding, clamps, and an oven. But to mold it to your leg, you'll have to manufacture something to simulate your leg so you can form it...otherwise BURN! But chicks dig scars right? And you'll have wicked scarring and be more Deadpool-like. :devil
225 doesn't seem too awful. My eva foam just came in today, I may do a foam set up for now. I'm stuck overseas in a horribly under developed country, so my options are limited. Oh how I miss Lowe's and Home Depot; hell even Walmart would be awesome right about now!
I know what an epaulette is, but I'm not sure what you are referring to on the costume. Shoulder pads? On this suit there's some foam under the black leather. Haven't thought much more about it. What are your thoughts?
The metal buckle is pretty awesome. It's heavy and seems durable considering the weight of the belt and pouches.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words. Your pictures are going to help me a lot! Thanks for the help!
I did make registration keys
There was a guy on here doing a Starlord costume that put foam pieces into a leather jacket. I can't remember exactly what he used for adhesive. I want to say superglue. I have some superglue that says it's good for leather. So it might be alright? But that was going to be my plan when I make my next suit from scratch.
