I'm working up the finishing touches of my Golden Era Jay Garrick costume, which uses the original traditional look of dark blue jeans, long sleeve red shirt with lightning bolt on the chest. Black belt with chrome buckle, but I have gone with red Chuck Taylor's, rather than Mercury booties.
I've recently discovered that there are some great looking jackets available for the TV show look. It's also been easy to locate gloves and boots that are "close enough" to the look...
The pants though. Those are definitely different. Does anyone have any ideas on the fabric, the cut/style and if there might be something on the market? I'm not opposed to printing out a pattern, taking some measurements and going to town with a sewing machine.
Anyway... Does anyone have any pointers for the screen accurate pants?
Here's my helmet. I ordered a WW1 helmet, which I'm still unsure if it was a prop or one that's been sitting in surplus for ages, as it looked so beautiful, stripped ALL the paint off of it and then polished, polished and polished some more, which has given it a fantastic patina and the final polishing compound that I used left a protective layer which has kept the helmet from rusting the past year.
I also have included a pic of the old femo clay wings in place too.
