/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Working on a Joshua Graham cosplay, and I can't find a gauze that seems to get both the texture and color I'm looking for. My best bet for the hands right now is some stretchy gauze so I can actually move my fingers, soaked in tea to give it the color I want, but as far as the rest of the arms/chest/knee/head go, the best looking stuff I've been able to find is fabric store linen.
I've also considered compression arm sleeves with the gauze attached directly to them for ease of attachment/removal, but I'm unsure how well the gauze would hold up after time.
Just wondering if anyone else has experience wrapping up.
