    Question for the Talented Customizers in this Forum...

    Particularly the experts on fabrics and/or sewing...

    I would like to make a Batman cape with a leather like material... It is very soft, thin, pliable and easy to sew...

    I just wouldn't know how to identify it or call it properly to search on-line....

    The material I'm referring to is used in the Ken as Batman Afflek Batman precisely on its cape...

    It is also used in the FTC Teen Titan Cyborg white leotard...

    Can anyone owning any of these tell me how would you search for this material on the web? Looking for it in white...

    Thanks in advance to my Mego Bros and Sis!

    Ariel

      Do they have JoAnn Fabrics in PR? You'll want a thin fabric-backed vinyl, preferably matte. Jo Ann's carries it, particularly around Hallowe'en.

      Also, there is a lot of vinyl "pleather" on ebay--be careful what thickness you're buying, though. Any reputable seller will agree to send you a small sample/swatch.

              Thanks for the info Scott... No JoAnn stores here nor any major Hobby Stores... That's why I really needed a name or term for the material I'm looking for. Just placed an order on the eBay Item you recommended me. Fingers crosssed.

              Thanks again!

                      MAN, I wish I knew what it was called....but I just bought THE BEST Batman cape material EVER! I don't know the name of it but it's at Johann Fabrics. It's rubbery, flexible and doesn't fray when you cut it....I'm so HAPPY!!

                      It's in the "Cosplay section."

                              It's called Yaya Han. It's a place to start.

                                  Love that name, sounds like a fast food chain owned by Han Solo.
