    So if you read the novelization of the original Spider-Man movie, he got his suit tailor made by the same guy who made his wrestling suit. This means that during the entire rami trilogy, there was this one tailor that knew who Spider-Man was. Yet he kept silent, respect.
  • imagine if someone was watching because they suddenly got spidey's powers and are frantically searching around the internet for how to make a suit
  • @bradwoods371
    All things considered, the suit actually doesn't look that bad

    Some cosplayers have made their own movie quality costumes, so I never found it hard to believe that someone going out every day to be Spider-Man would put significant effort into making a good costume.

    At least in the original comics, he would frequently have to re-sew his suit after fights so we can maybe guess his original one was crappy and he got better and better at sewing

    actual footage of peter parker making his suit
  • It's funny but I've been wearing a (homemade) Spiderman mask (when I go to places that say wear a mask - fortunately since moving that is not many places). Usually no one bats an eye but I did have the clerk at one store tell me "doc ock went that way". lol. Nice to see that even during a crisis people still have a sense of humor.

    2 things: First, I have a theory on how Peter is able to put together such spiffy looking costumes from whatever material is available to a 15-year old kid with no budget. Basically, Peter has super-human sewing abilities. Much as the Spider's compound eyes translated into "Spider-Sense" for Peter's human form, the Spider's natural ability to make intricate patterns with its webbing translated into a natural super-human sewing ability for peter. So, with just scrap laying around the school gymnasium and what Peter knew Aunt May wouldn't notice missing from her sewing kit... BAM! Multi-million dollar superhero suit that would have taken a team of the best fashion designers months to perfect. Second, for more comic book authentic eyes, I recommend using plastic knitting canvas. When it's close to your eyes, it's pretty easy to see through. It's easy to cut into the shape you need, and cheap if you mess it up. Also, because it's got holes in it already so it's easy to sew to a costume. (It's also easy to hold pieces of it in your eyes like dual monocles for characters that have solid-color non-human eyes.) You can even get it in just about any color. I've used blue for an Optimus Prime costume, White for a Scarlet Spider costume (appropriate for Spider-Man too, of course) and red for a generally demony thing.
  • *Sees video* Me: Oh so it’s just simple spandex, this will probably be easy. Video: Step 1 of 693.
  • Spiderman homecoming did it best I think. Before Tony Stark gave him the high tech suit, he just threw together clothes he had like a hoodie and jogging pants. The eye lenses he made were pretty high tech, but considering Peter Parker is pretty much a genius and can make his own web fluid, it makes sense.

    I like to pretend this guy actually is Spider-Man
  • Fun fact: The original script for the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie actually explained how did he made the suit and it's almost identical to yours. By buying two body suits (blood red and midnight blue), cuts them and stitches them together, cuts out large oval shaped white mesh for the eyes and glues them on the mask, and uses a marker to draw the webs and chest logo. No million dollar bodysuit, no sharp, slick lenses or logos, no silver webbing, just directly from the comics and practical. Why was that cut?

    10:03 It looks like Peter seeing the election results and being like “it’s time to go stop ‘the kingpin’” lol.
  • @darkhero-3097
    I have watched this so many times and yet I have no desire to actually make a suit. If I went cosplaying, I'd probably take the easy way out. 1. Buy red boots, gloves, and balaclava. 2. Buy mirrored goggles. 3. Use sharpie to draw webs on mask, gloves and boots. 4. Draw spider on old sweater chest, with no webs. 5. Sew on blue fabric for the back and add red spider. 6. Go to a Con and say it's based on the 60's Spider-Man cartoon.
  • I love how someone actually made a video on this. As a kid who wanted to draw a good spider-man, drawing the details with the infinite lines always got so tedious! After learning that drawing straight lines are hard and sewing them in on an actual costume is impossible for a kid, seeing all those expensive costumes in the movies were so confusing.

    Scarlet Spider just watched the tutorial until the lens attaching part before he got bored
