The gauntlets themselves, and the fins are all leather. Formed to the exact contours and shapes of the screen used ones. The fins are flexible but not removable. There's a lot of detail as it is put into the gauntlets alone and making the fins removable would probably be over kill. There is no rubber on this suit...not for the jacket or the pants. Same for the gloves. All the armor elements are either formed leather or translucent Kevlar platings... and the goal is to replicate everything as close as possible to what was seen on screen. Ambitious? Yes...Impossible? No.
Fortunately for us, Dave also has extensive hands on experience in costume making which for a 'garment' such as this is fundamentally crucial to it's overall success as a replica...but most importantly a functional and practical wearable garment. We're aiming for the best of both worlds merged into what we hope to be an industry first where Batman Replica Outerwear is concerned.
I hope that helps.

As I mentioned above, more details will be added to the website in the next short while.
I hope you do custom orders for sleeve lengths, because I am thinking about getting one of these, but standard size sleeves are usually too long for me.Planning on going to see Melvin White...at 1502 Randolph Appt's? Then you better be sure to dress accordingly.
....every detail, stitch, method of overlay, colors, secret inner pockets and size is 100% identical to the Hero worn Christian Bale jacket from TDK....however all standard sizes will be offered. We're still considering custom orders for sleeve lengths and that sort of thing but no decision by Dave on that matter yet.
The camera flash brightens up the red significantly, but you'll see proper pics and all details at www.udreplicas.com very soon.
Sorry for the watermark....an evil necessity at this stage.
