My Batman '66 Cosplay is Complete!
BELT - CY Productions (also secondhand from J-Bone).
CAPE - Made using WS2 pattern. Satin material bought from a local fabric/carnival supply store. Hired a local seamstress to construct.
TIGHTS - Two-piece compression suit ordered from Dick's Sporting Goods. I also purchased a one piece spandex body suit from Full Bodysuit on Amazon, but it was too dark gray. They sent me the light gray tights at no extra charge. The compression suit is the closest I could get for the actual color, and it will be much easier for when I have to use the 'Bat Room'. In the future (when I drop some pounds) I may invest in the two piece tights from WS2.
TRUNKS & CHEST LOGO - from WS2. Thanks, Chuck & Lynne!
BOOTS - from EZCosplay.com. I also got a pair of spandex boot covers from Etsy that I'll use when I do the Chewbachus parade in January.
GLOVES - from Evolution Props.
More pics to come soon.

Congrats sir!
Everyone always remembers putting together their first suit, it’s a special process and it’s always more fun to share that with the folks here like you have! Enjoy!

Congratulations. I bet it felt good to get it all together and don it for the first time!
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!
Re: My Batman '66 Cosplay is Complete!
Congrats, Bat77! I remember when I completed my 1st suit back in the 80's. Back then, what we had was Mark Puett's manuals to work from. EVERY time I went out in the Batsuit, I WAS Batman!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

An addendum to the video I posted yesterday regarding the dubious origins of the cowl...

Re: My Batman '66 Cosplay is Complete!
Nice job on the videos! I went through some of the same issues when I put my suit together, but I eventually I bought my gloves from Gaspar and boots from Duran. I made my own belt with a WS2 buckle, but I also bought a CY Productions version. The boot covers you purchased from Etsy seem a good choice for parades and such.
Finding suitable grey tights is a challenge, but I think your lighter grey set look better. You might try dying them with Rit dye to darken them a bit. I dyed a set of expensive dance tights which was a little scary but they came out okay. The WS2 tights (based on the screen used tights) are actually more brownish-grey than you might expect, and would be a good upgrade.
Anyway, I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing videos of your journey and appearances. I think you'll have a lot of fun!
