@eupheme I'm tagging the prompt writer, but this is also for anyone who's willing to read too much about clothes, lmao.

So I had a geeky theater-nerd chat with one of the costumers for the movie! https://www.tumblr.com/introvertbard/758858095617343488/scruffylookingpiratecaptain-thank-you-this-is?source=share

And here's MORE rambling for anyone who wants a bit more sewing knowledge in their fanfic! I'm not a real seamstress/tailor, but as an actor/writer who likes cosplaying, I am sewing-adjacent.

Superhero spandex is often CALLED "spandex" because the comics draw it as "practically painted/sewn on," but Worst Wolverine's suit seems a lot like motorcycle armor to me. It doesn't behave like cloth or literal spandex, and it sure takes a LOT of beatings.

-Worst Wolverine's bright yellow suit barely KEEPS any blood on it! Even with Wolverine's healing factor, you still have to WASH blood out of regular clothes. If you get stabbed as much as he did, and if you have a thinly-veiled sex/fight scene in a Honda Odyssey with NO FUCKING BLOOD ON YOU after a whole day, that implies Wolverine's suit is made of leather or something else waterproof (waxed/oiled canvas???), and you can wipe the blood off with a rag. Sometimes you'd need soapy water, but that's for heavy grime and set-in stains. Many people who own heavy-duty leather items--like work boots, bags, and horse owners who care for their horse's tack or harness--only need to bust out the soap "whenever I need it to look nice," which can be right before a show, every few months, or even once a YEAR.

-Worst Wolverine's sleeves get removed... and losing them doesn't fuck up the main shirt! This implies that his forearm and shoulder protection specifically account for losing the sleeves. I do see a bit of cut/torn fabric peeking out of his shoulder armor in some shots, but the cuts are so neat that you HAVE to do that on purpose. In real life, the costumers did this for comic-book accuracy, but in the movie/universe, this could mean his sleeves were just basted on because they're already the weakest link in the outfit.

Basting stitches are the "in-between" stage for an outfit you're making. After you're done pinning everything, you use the fastest and easiest stitching to keep everything in place before you get rid of the pins, so you can do the ACTUAL sewing without stabbing yourself. If Wolverine's sleeves were basted onto the shirt's torso under the armor, that means "you don't need to SEW THEM ON, they'll just get wrecked anyway."

They might also be fully detachable sleeves that you just tuck into the solid parts of the armor, and take off as needed.

-The shirt only gets destroyed by fucking ANTIMATTER. For something that can hold up to that, you're gonna need some heavy-duty leather or a modern equivalent. And fixing that would need heavy-duty needles, a good knife (heavy-duty leather is way too thick for scissors), and possibly a specialized sewing machine.

This would obviously be very expensive, but Charles Xavier is/was a wealthy teacher who ran his own fucking school, and he's not hurting for money.

Contrast that to something like Spiderman's suit: Made by a broke college student, much lighter and more flexible for web-slinging, and it constantly gets destroyed.

“Never could stand it. Told 'em they all look fuckin' ridiculous, and now it doesn’t feel right not to wear it.”

His eyes don’t meet yours in the mirror. Where you stand - looking at the charred remnants on his lower half. Head cocked, as you consider - as he leans into the hand you rest on his shoulder.

“Well, maybe I could help you make a new one?”
