At times the fabric does matter. It's an extreme, but compare say, how a costume from Spirit or any other cheap costume compares to the real piece. It's obvious that it's a cheapo knockoff, and will never look as good as it should, based mainly on the fabric they've used. It's fine for someone looking to dress up for a Halloween party on the cheap, but for collectors and those shelling out literally hundreds of dollars it just won't do. And it shouldn't.
Anovos prides itself on quality and demands a price to reflect that. I remember years ago when they came out with a few different Star Trek uniforms, they touted about the fabric and how it was the same weave, stitching, etc. I'm not sure what happened with the GB suit, but it's a shame they decided to use an inaccurate material.

It's not a 100% perfect replica, but how many customers are seriously going to scrutinize it on the basis of it's sheen, or how the fabric behaves?
Everything from the pattern to the weight to the material used effects how the end fabric will look and behave.GK45 wrote:If it isn't made with the same fabric, then in my opinion, there is no point in it's existenceGuess it's a good thing it's not down to your final call.GK45 wrote:Why do the gloves being accurate have to detract from anything else being accurate?I don't understand what you're asking, in my previous post I said having 100% accurate gloves isn't essential to me. I'm not aware of saying that the gloves detracted from anything.GK45 wrote:That being the case, how do you feel about the poor excuse for a Fob they include with the suit?It can be improved... but perhaps the photographed one is simply a bad prototype/stand-in?
