The most important thing is to take your time, especially if you are making most of it yourself. Remember the golden rule: Measure twice, cut once!

I know at this stage I'm not making a "true" 66Batman suit. But I am making one that works for me... I had made two pouches the one on the left was my second attempt. I'm going to go with it. It is a working pouch so I can store "bat-things". I ordered swatches last night for my gloves & trunks. Next I'll be working on the tubes which will open as well.

Ordered my "bat-suit" last night and some brass for my belt buckle. Went to the fabric store for supplies for the cape and trunks. Tonight I'll order fabric for cape, trunks and I'm going to see about making my own gloves as well as out-sourcing them. I've started looking around for boots to modify but might order from the suggested supplier that was recommended.
Anyone made their own gloves & boots? Would like to hear how how you did them.

I just thought I would mention that I think you got an exceptionally nice Will cowl. Very "season 1".

Thanks, Will's cowl has held up through probably 30 events so far. Very happy with it.
