- Creating the SecretSpiderSuit.
SecretSpiderMan suits are created from a breathable 4way stretch lycra/spandex and custom sized (or more accurately, scaled) to the measurements you provide. The base suit is created from a pattern using a process known as dye sublimation. Some would say they look terrific at this point in the process but.. SecretSpiderMan suits don't stop there... That's where they begin!!
Each suit is inspected for defects before raised webbing in the proper color is carefully and meticulously painted into place. This is done in very small sections (by hand) using a blend of special acrylic paints that actually stretch with the fabric! Special tooling is required and this can be quite an artistic process which takes many, many hours to complete (as well as multiple drying times).
The accurate front spider is then applied over the raised webbing in a process very similar to the one used to create the general thickness of the webbing and 3D spiders for the iconic film suits.
Last, but not least, the proper lenses are attached to the mask (following the curve)...
Completing the Spider-Man look!
The level of detailing achieved with the SecretSpiderMan process yields an accurate (fan made) representation that can closely mimics the raised webbing and 3D front spiders featured on the suits from those iconic films... And you know it's really that "3D look" that separates a cheaply made, store bought, Spider-Man.. From a SecretSpiderMan!
