Batman DCUC Custom Cape?

Custom WorkstationHiya all, just wondering if anyone knew of someone who could make a really good custom cape for a Batman DCUC figure??

...I'm wanting something that can drape down in front like a One:12 Mezco Dark Knight Returns cape:

Thanks heaps!

Please wait...

You can make the cape cover the shoulders more just by yanking it down a little. To get full shoulder coverage while still keeping the wrinkles/folds around the collar, you'd just have to leave more material where needed.
For that Mezco Batman, it looks like maybe they just used a half-circle for the cape, that's why it has so much extra material. I think you could just tuck/fold the extra material back under the shoulders so it would look like this Superman's cape.
I'll try the half circle pattern for the Mezco-look...that should be just about right.
Shape that I cut out was a little wider and longer, neck area stayed the same. I only used one layer of fabric and I like the thinness a lot more. It's easier to shape the collar area too, just pinch it and glue the folds in place, trim as needed. (tape is just temporary to keep it in place for the picture)
Only hemmed the bottom edge and added a wire. It doesn't do much for posing though, you really need to add the wire all around the edges to get cool poses.
No wire is better for the draped poses.
Don't use hotglue to join the fabric, it leaves inflexible bulky spots. Here I used some "adhesive webbing" instead of stitching, it's basically webbing that you place between fabric to glue it together with an iron.
I used normal shirt fabric and it's fine, but you could probably use a little thicker material and use a single layer, just hem the edges.

Only thing you would change is only add a wire to the neck area, not all the way around
