Batman Cowl

Recommended Posts

I had someone ask me could I make a Batman cowl for his cosplay. It's of a very dieselpunk type Batman with a duster jacket and a definite biker look (Can you tell I'm not a comic geek?) Anyway, this is what I came up with.
Ok, so the beard just doesn't go... But here it is, the Mk II Batman Cowl! This one is machined with the 'Cranky Ba*****d' ™ hand-cranked sewing machine, and while possible, this is not really the best option. This needs to be either riveted or hand sewn, as the machine simply cannot reach a lot of the areas without distorting the stitching lines - imagine sewing up a bowl, and you'll understand! For a prototype though, I didn't want to spend so much time hand sewing, and even riveting is a pain as the inside areas are a pig to get to even on my anvil horn.
That said, I am pleased with the outcome All this needs is a pair of goggles and you're set!

Nice job on the cowl! I've seen diesel/steampunk comic book interpretations and this will fit right in.

Cool, I really like the details on the back. Well, the front too, but the back looks awesome.
