I always get detached mask, gloves, U back. Super Lycra. Always always always, get a shell and lenses from an independent artist. Costs more, but the quality is so much better
@@Patrick_Nguyen I hate the wrist zips. They never fasten back up after opening them. Gloves for me are so much better, they go all the way to the elbow
I always get detached gloves, feet, mask, & a U zip, from experience putting the shoes on for me is easier if they're detached its like putting a sock on. Also with a 1970s suit design i made i found if you do your measurements slightly taller than your actual height in color fabric, you can prevent a shorter neck. Also, i found they will sew on back symbols if the file has the symbols separate from the suit, which if you find a suit design retro like that, its no extra charge for them to sew it on 👌🏼
So what you're saying is for color fabrics they will make the front and back emblems with, say black and red fabric respectively? That's a lifesaver because my color fabric suit has screenprinted logos and I'm afraid to wash it. I'm thinking of doing a 7-piece suit this year and if I could have it it color fabrics without the screenwriter emblems, that would be awesome.
Although you say that you can do this only if the pattern file already comes with the emblems separated. Hmm, now I wonder if I could get them to do it even if the emblems aren't separate in the pattern file. UPDATE: I emailed printcostume about it and they totally can at no extra cost!
Thank you for sharing an honest review, and breaking everything down nicely! I love this kind of content, it was educational and to the point! Maybe next time I'll actually remember to try your coupon code and not forget like a fool! Keep up the fantastic content!
The friendly neighborhood Pats-Man saving the day once again!! So close on getting done researching to deciding to get mine and THIS COMES UP?! You’re the damn man, man!! Spectacularly amazing! (😉)
I got detached gloves once… not a fan. It’s not exactly snug and keeps sliding down the sleeve. The only way it stays is if you have the glove on underneath the sleeve, but then the sleeve isn’t exactly snug either then. You would need some web shooter props to maybe secure it, but even then it’s a lot of fabric. You’d either need to cut away the excess fabric on the glove, or attach some clips onto the suit to secure things together. I’d assume the detached boots would have the same problem
I wish I watched this before I bought my Miguel suit. I am pretty happy with my order but I should have gotten a neck zipper and shoes because everytime I want to eat or breathe out of the mask, I need to undo my U zip
I recently changed my lifestyle and am now comfortable with going with this kind of suit. (Was aiming for jumpsuit Deadpool before that) I actually ordered a $35 (CAD) suit off Amazon (China) to test if I like the look on me. I was actually surprised how it turned out for the price. It's a keeper. So I went back to your channel and I'll probably order a NWH suit in the next few days (I know myself, probably next hours haha). I feel like it'll be the first of many. Forearm zip, U back zip, neck zip. Since I'm "new" to this, faceshell + civil war lenses. I'll try the precut holes; I know myself, it's safer that way. Ninja shoes. Raised emblem is tempting... Maybe next time. Thanks for the code and all the great tutorials, it'll helps to get into it.
I got my suit 2 days ago Unfortunately it was a bit to small (i thought male XL would fit cuz i have other suits with that size) so i ordered another one with customs measurements I hope it'll fit properly this time
Hey, so i just ordered my suit, had to get the print file of course, when will that be sent?? i know this video is a bit old but im not exactly sure what to do, and also who do i send it to, printcostume or the maker?
This video helped so much! What about the arm and leg length? and the thigh thickness? Would I put that in the additional notes or are they one size fits all now?
thanks for the help man. I got the bagley suit with a faceshell and lenses from rpc studio. And im getting a friend to 3d print functional web shooters. Thanks again
It's been six months since I got my new costume. The fabric is very thick. A few days ago I took my child to the playground, where there was also the market, I was wearing a costume and even if the temperature was 18o I was fine. It was a lot of fun to entertain so many children. Obviously I had hundreds of eyes on me and people who came to take pictures of me. The only thing I don't like about the costume is the fabric of the mask's neck. Too long. I would like to know if you also have this problem. It should be at least 4cm shorter. I will have to change it.
Awesome video extremeley infomative! What is the likelihood that if I add additional measurements to my order like arm length, inseam and others they PrintCostumes will take those into account?
So I keep hearing that water shoes are a great removable alternative to the kung fu shoes, but the dilemma I keep having is won’t the suit material be exposed on the sole of your feet and get worn and damaged more quickly?? I’ve also seen ways to install water shoes permanently in your suit, but of course that means you can’t remove it. In terms of longevity for a suit that’d be worn mostly in outdoor settings what would probably be the smartest move for me? Great video by the way, this has been a phenomenal help! Thank you!
yes it will be exosed, only wear the costume inside. and you can add soles to a suit ive just never tried. i would get kung fu shoes, they are the best
Hey, Pat. Great video! I had a question about ordering my first suit and I was wondering if you could help. I am going to order an advanced suit designed by TheHeroArtist and was wondering 1. Is it better to go with color fabrics or the super Lycra fabrics and why? 2. Is it okay to do an attached mask with a neck and mask zipper? 3. If I ask them for the ps4 Spider-Man lenses for my faceshell and magnetic lenses, will they give it to me? I’m sorry for asking a bunch of questions but the suit is a big investment for me and I just want to make sure it comes out good. Thank you so much for all of your videos and have a nice day :)
1. color fabric since the colours will look better and the suit is still comfy 2. youll only need one of the zippers, id go with neck zipper 3. they will yes
I’m excited to order my first spider man cosplay from print costume. And my suit is ultimate vs2 dye cosplay with a face shell and web shooters from rpc studios ❤️💯🔥✅👍🎃🎃🎃🎃
And right now I even finally have the sam raimi suit tasm 1 suit the stark upgrade homecoming suit and now the ultimate comics suit from ultimate spiderman or web of shadows
I ordered my very first suit 3 weeks ago using your promo code and it's finally shipping out today! One concern I have is I ordered an extra mask and asked them to attach lenses to the extra mask, assuming that you'd get another pair of lenses with the extra mask. Is that right?
Update: I got my suit about a month after I ordered it (probably because of the emblem requests). I ended up receiving two masks: one with lenses attached and one with them unattached to go on a face-shell (and to my knowledge at no extra cost). Measurements made it a perfect fit. If I'd change anything, I'd personally add wrist zippers to use my hands freely, and a crotch zipper for...emergencies. All in all, great deal!
@patrick was a little confused during the fabric part, i’m ordering a symbiote suit and you said in the video “get it if you’re getting a symbiote suit” and i was wondering if you where meaning the regular fabric or the super lycra
the picture of the neck zip on the website looks like it’s on the front of the suit and doesn’t go to the crown of your head. the mask zip looks like it goes to the crown.
can you please cover this? I’m stuck now between which option to order cause i want to make sure it’s the zipper on the back of the head that goes to the crown
Pat, is it possible for me to ask them for the civil war lenses, but in red? Do you make customizable lenses? For example, what if I asked for the TASM 1 lenses, but in red. Would they do it? I’m trying to get a Miles Morales outfit, but I want the civil war lenses in red.
Hey Pat! Amazing, helpful video! I have a question! If I make my own Pattern on Photoshop, what type of file should I save it as? TIF? Also, how does the puff paint choice on the custom printing work? Do they actually proffesionally do it for you on that extra cost? and do I have to specify which places I want puff painted on the extra comments?
Hello, I needed to ask about something, When you order there a suit with back invisible zip and with the mask detached, does this mean that the mask has a zipper too, or I have to add the mask zip box as well? Because I need to open it in order to add my faceshell, plus take on n off my mask easily
If you want to buy a costume, you can select at ''order printing file: no, I already have it'' or ''yes, safe $10(+$30)''. Do I really have to buy that printing file even if I don't have it?
I just got my costume its quite great but its very tight so i think im gonna lose abit of pounds before i use it again but yeah print costume is the best 😎
Hey Pat, thanks for the guide! If I order a suit with lenses attached and specify the lenses, will I be able to see through those lenses or would I either have to order open eye holes/cut them out myself? Also not planning on using the suit with a face shell. Thanks!
Really useful video, thank you so much :) I was trying to check if the christmas promo at print costume is likely to happen this year. The last one "buy one get one" sale I found was in 2021. Do you know if it was also happening last year? Is it likely to happen again?
What do we do if we put attach lenses paid the money to do so and didn’t put anything in additional notes section-I didn’t see this until after i already bought it
Got a question when u click attached lenses does that cost covers the lenses also or is that attachment only and u get charged extra for the lenses I want to order the Rainmi #3 suit with special size order
Hey so here's a question. So if yoy shouldn't get open eye holes for the smaller lenses because the eye hole might over lap them, then have you ever asked them in the note section to make the eye holes small and not so big if that makes sense? I don't mind cutting them for the small lenses but i just realized can you ever ask them to make the eye holes small for the small lenses?
Thanks for this video. Is there anywhere I can see what the eyes look like if you just go with the +$15 attach lenses, no shell option? Is there a video or photo of you showing what this option looks like? Thanks
Hey Pat. I ordered a TASM2 suit on the website. I just wanted the default Tasm2 like the one they have so I selected "No I already have it" in the order printing section because I didn't need any other printing files, the one they have is totally fine by me. Was I supposed to select "Yes, Save 10" and pay $30 for it?
yes you were supposed to click you needed the file. the file is what that specific spidey suit looks like and you need it everytime. you can email them and ask if you did or not and they will either give it for free or charge you for the file
Hey when you buy the suit pattern do I need to have Dropbox for the link for the custom sewing and printing? Can you make a tutorial on the link for the sewing and printing?
Can u choose the suit u want and not do the download file. It gives me the option to say "no i have the file already" . What i mean is can i just buy the suit without having to give them a download file?
I’m curious about one thing. I’m looking at the classic ps4 costume (I think depicted with TASM 2 lenses) and several reviews show ps4 lenses. Does that mean they “brought them from home”? Super informative videos thanks g
Hey man, extremely informative video! I plan on getting mask detached, and without a face shell, so do i only select “Detached mask” and that’s it, or do i also need to select “Mask zip” along with “Detached mask”, thanks again!
Hi there! Now the lenses from print costumes are a little dull so…let’s say there is a type of lenses from rpc or herostimes…could I put in the product code and pick which style I want? Cause I see people have the ps4 lenses and I really want those! I’m new so any insight will be very helpful!
If I want to order a costume and would like the lenses that can be seen in the photo of that costume, do I have to fill in the code of those lenses in '' additional note'' or is it enough to just go to ''add lenses/eyes: attach lenses''?
Hey Pat, thanks for the really helpful video! I've been thinking about getting a spidey suit recently, but still had a few questions. 1) If you select one of their designs instead of uploading a design with the custom printing and sewing service, what's the deal with the 'order printing file' options? There's "no, i already have it" vs "yes, save $10 (+$30)". Do you need the printing file at all? or can you just say no even if you don't own a copy of the file. It's just confusing to me as it's a design from their website. 2) There's the 'extra mask' option. Do you know if it's possible to get one mask to be used with the faceshell/magnetic lenses combo and then one mask with the lenses already attached, or would they both have to be the same. Thanks for all the really helpful videos on the topic of suits!
you need the digital file everytime, either you buy theirs or suply one. youd have to email them after you made your order with the extra mask and lenses purchased, and explain you want the extra mask with lenses attached that you had in your order, and the other to be the magnetic ones
Just ordered my very first Spidey suit using a free template that I edited to have one completely custom made. So looking forward to getting it! I never recieved a confirmation email however. I did email them about it and they said the order went through and I will be notified when it ships. Still waiting, it's been about a week and a half and no email yet Update: A long update, but both nothing has happened and yet a lot has also. It has now been five weeks since I had made the order. I had emailed them a week ago asking about my order and they told me that due to the virus, they cannot process shipment yet and that they will try to have it sent by the 20th. No updates from them yet, the order still says it's just processing. By contrast, I ordered another costume from Herostime, as me and my girlfriend are doing matching costumes this Halloween. Hers is also a custom design btw. A few days after placing her order, I got an email from them asking me to confirm my order was correct because I had requested to have the gloves and feet cut off and they wanted to be sure I hadn't made a mistake, which I appreciated them checking with me on that. I ordered hers on the 7th. Today is the 17th, only a week and a half from when I ordered it, and I got an email that it has been shipped and now FedEx has it (FedEx is telling me it is delayed and the delivery date is pending, but that's a FedEx issue it looks like, not Herostime.) Both companies are from China so why one has issues shipping due to virus and the other has no problems getting it to FedEx is beyond me. Based on my first experience alone, not even having recieved the costumes yet, I prefer Herostime to Printcostume. Herostime has been faster, has better communication and customer service. Still hoping mine from Printcostume will arrive on time. And that FedEx will figure that shipping out too. Update again: My costume from Printcostume is finally being shipped. No email of shipment from Printcostume, like they said they'd do. Rather I got a text from DHL it was on the way. After checking to be sure it was correct and not fake, I saw on my Printcostume order on the website that it is being shipped. FINALLY. But such lack of communication. I had never gotten a confirmation email that I had ordered it nor shipment confirmation email. It had better get here though. Update again again (even though no one is going to read these): Her costume just arrived today. Mine is in my current country now, in a facility less than two hours away and yet tracking is saying it is not due to arrive until five more days. hmmmmmmmmm Final Update: My costume from Printcostume finally arrived the day after my girlfriend's from Herostime. Gotta say, the quality is great, although I should've gotten the eye holes add-on and calf zippers, make the shoes easier to put on. Maybe removable gloves too, zippers are just difficult to work with sometimes. Production and shipping times are no comparison. My girlfriend's was ordered and delivered in 16 days. Mine however took 41 days. I'm just glad I finally got it.
@@bogoles Nope. Today marks four weeks. I emailed them again and they said due to the virus, they haven't been able to process shipment. They said they will try to send it by the 20th. Hopefully they do cause I need the costume for Halloween and have no clue how long shipping will take
Hold on so if you get the face shell/lenses you need to select the lenses and copy the product number or no when it comes to the non custom suits and the ones ready to go
i beleive they match up the suit to the lenses, but they only have a couple options. you can add in the additional notes section which model number or name of the lenses youd like
@@PatrickLockyeryt yeah i won't be upset if they just do the default lenses for that particular suit but i added the tasm 2 lenses just incase, thank you for the reply :)
Hii!! So i was just wondering (this is prob an obvious answer lol) But like, for order printing file do i do "yes, save $10 +30" or no? Idk which to do, i dunno about paying for a pattern fee This is a gwen costume btw lol
Pat I need your help if Im getting both detached feet and kung fu shoes are the detatched feet really needed? and same goes for if I go with detached gloves and the forearm zippers Im gonna order my suit soon but those two options are the ones I need to know. One more thing actually if Im getting a detached mask shouls I get the mask zip for it too PS: This si going to be for my advanced suit 2.0
@@PatrickLockyeryt cool thanks and one last thing I know you have male crotch zippers on some of your suits but do they really look bad? I was thinking of adding one just because
If I choose a suit that's already on the website (meaning it's not a custom one), there is an the option called "Order Printing File". What does it mean??
