Not even close. Wesker's looks like carbon fiber. This is a hexagon ripstop style fabric.

oh ok i figured as much who can make such a thing?

[Captain Jack]

Anybody with a sewing machine. There's nothing complicated about his clothing, it's just a matter of finding fabric that looks like that. That hexagon ripstop stuff is generally made custom for backpacks, tool pouches, etc. I've never been able to find a place to buy it by the yard, or I'd be making some serious bank off of Vector commissions, lol.

[Sonicthedgehog]

yeah well i suppose i can look around and if i find a fabric similar i can contact you.

[Sonicthedgehog]

heres a idea why dont i take this fabric here http://fabric.eshopsale.com/Down-On-...on-White-Black then dip it in a blue dye the white should turn blue and create the image of it being blue just like the guys jacket. would that work?

[Captain Jack]

I don't see his fabric ever looking blue. It's just got a somewhat reflective design for the hexagons. Honestly, white would probably look better. The problem I'd have with that fabric is that it appears to be a very lightweight cotton (judging by the description).

Think of the fabric that a quilted blanket is made out of (just the fabric, not the cotton padding inside or anything). Vector's fabric appears to be very heavy, and that fabric there would probably be the equivalent to a Halloween costume fabric (cheap, thin, wouldn't sit right, etc.)

You may be able to make it work, but that's not what I'd use.

[Sonicthedgehog]

well what would you use? im trying to get suggestions to people who can make it.

Hm I found one place to buy ripstop material but its not hexagon. If u can find something I can pay u to make it.

i just used a black parka just bc the hexagon is so hard to find. here is what im using for the time being http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-M-51-FISHTAIL-PARKA-XLARGE/dp/B002NBFVP8/ref=sr_1_14?s=apparel&qlEnable=1&ie=UTF8&qid=13055 23353&sr=1-14

Thanks!, You mean the shutters over my lenses? I got some black shutter glasses and cut them into size.. its a good idea to anyone else doing vector. What are you using to light up the mask?. El wire is one way to go, but not bright enough in well lit areas, to me anyway! I was thinking LEDS but dont really know how to mount them inside the mask. Any ideas?
