/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm the guy from a few threads back asking for help with my possible Saitama cosplay, and my horrible habit of procrastinating has not helped with attempt to work on the costume. With a 10/31 deadline, I'm not entirely sure if my complete inexperience in sewing is going to cut it, but I thought, "Hey, why not just try to make the possibly hardest part of the outfit first, the gloves, and see how long it takes me/how good they end up looking and see if I'll have the drive to finish the rest of it by con time!". I've seen quite a few glove tutorials that all seem to be the same technique in slightly different ways, so I assume I should just go with whatever?

Pleather seemed like a good choice for the shininess of the gloves, and I went up to my local Joann's to scope out the price and what not. It might be a little TOO shiny, but that won't be a huge deal. Price isn't bad, a little less than $5 a yard so no real harm to my wallet if it doesn't work out, but I haven't been to a craft store in the middle of the day on a weekend in a long time and didn't even consider the possibility of a large amount of middle aged/elderly women lining up to get their fabrics cut, and immediately left after scoping out potential materials. So maybe I'll go tomorrow earlier in the day if I feel like it, or after work Monday.

The other material I scoped out for was the suit and wanted opinions on weather I should go with fleece, flannel, or something else. To go along with my sewing inexperience, I obviously have no idea what I should go with in this situation, and would prefer it to be comfortable. I don't plan on going only in my boxers in the thing, but I'd still like to not be itchy all weekend. One anon's suggestion was to look for a pajama tutorial, but I haven't looked for one of those yet. The cape I figure will be a much easier personal choice because I can go for look and not how it's going to feel on my skin.
