Deadpool movie suit research thread *NEW PICS*

Did anyone discover yet what material was used to make the screen used costume? I read several discussions on here about it but never saw if everyone agreed on the material?

Thank you. AMAZING work from so many people on their costumes!

While watching the film, I kept thinking that weave pattern looked so familiar. While laying in bed last night it hit me.... I had an older shaving kit/ DOP bag with that construction. I no longer have it but I am actively trying to recall the brand and search online. It has to be out there.

Did anyone contact the studio that made the costume for possible help in the correct material?

Here they are working on the suit:

Soooooooo... is anyone planning on doing the pink **** cancer suit? Just curious. Not interested in one but id love to see a build on that.
The pink suit is a really cool idea to help support ****Cancer. I love it when these stars do something to help charity!

We ended up doing 2 in screen printed fabric.

Okay so if someone wanted THE best and closest screen accurate suit, who would we go to? El Fett or Costume Cave Replicas?

For me, no one comes close to El Fett. Not to say other makers aren't doing great things, but El Fetts on another level. Just my two cents....
 
So, worth the money? Because $6k for a cosplay is, well, DEDICATION.

That's hard to say, simply because I can't speak for you regarding if it's worth it. I did a lot of research before I went a head with my decision, spent a few months going through everything. It's not just the money, it's also how much use are you going to get out of it, what you're going to use it for. I've had other suits, masks and accessories to compare. For me, El Fett is hands down the best. When I finally made the decision that I wanted to get a Deadpool suit to make appearances, I figured get the absolute best so I'm not constantly upgrading and tweaking. So the price didn't matter to me, but not everyone has that kind of money to blow on a suit. That's why I originally said it's hard to say, cause I don't know your money situation. I think I spent about $3,500 on the suit/mask/gloves, them went to other makers for the other stuff. Yeah, I probably have about 5k in this suit, but I look like I walked off the movie set. And for me, that's priceless. Other people might not care/need that level of accuracy, so that's what you need to ask yourself.

I love the review and thank you for the insight. Any pics of you in the suit??
 
Absolutely, happy to assist!
