    What material do you use?

    I realize there are going to be different preferences depending on the type of clothing desired. My question has to do with jumpsuits. What type of material did Mego use? What's readily available at fabric shops that would be closest to the type material Mego used for jumpsuits? Thanks.

    Hmmmm....

    Mego used a few different things. The early AJ suits were often a thin, coarse vynil kind of material that comes apart real easy. I use old t-shirts for a lot of my stuff.

      Thanks for the reply. The reason i asked is because i am going to be making a jumpsuit for a custom and i went to the fabric store last weekend to pick out some fabric. Needless to say, there were hundreds of choices . I settled on a cotton/spandex blend. I was curious as to what other customizers were using for their jumpsuits.
