NEW Question on cosplay H40 coveralls for accuracy and weathering

OK folks i’m just curious on opinions here. What is the best way to work out and stretch this waistband on these H40’s?
These are the exact same from the movie and I’d like to stretch that waistband out so it’s not so tight to look more like they are in the film. I’ve honestly never stretched out a thick waist band like this before so I’m looking for some tips.

Use a seam ripper and pull out small sections, englundisgod will chime in with more detail

Ive done this on a few of my pairs, it works well it lets out the belly welly a couple inches,
and when you sew/close it back up you keep all the pleats/wrinkles so they look the same :myers:

dude what :laughing: i didnt see that until after O__o
damn you summoned me, our periods have synced :mrgreen:

Well I may not be a summoner, but hey, it beats demons :laughing:

Dude that is awesome! thank you so much for that advice. I definitely knew I’d have to use a seam ripper I just wasn’t sure how bad it would be or how much I’d have to get into it. this doesn’t look too bad although sewing it back up it is gonna be a challenge for me ha ha ha thanks again

he does death row masks lots of people send him masks for repaints

Rowland Kelly? And he’s in Alberta? Interesting I had no idea. Funny last year I found out there’s a pretty popular Friday the 13th mask maker that lives in the same city I do lol it’s funny and I have a few different Friday masks from a couple different makers in the US [emoji2371]

Another couple questions for you guys. All the tags have to come off the coveralls right? I mean except for the inside ones at the back of the neck of course but everything else is removed isn’t it? Also what about the wrist snaps? are those removed? And are there any buttons in the collar to remove or anything? I just wanna make sure I’m not forgetting anything I want it as accurate as possible and I haven’t been able to find enough pictures online that show everything lol
Thanks guys
