hi guys! Looking to see if anyone has any creative non-destructive ways (meaning no permanent alterations) to do what I’m trying to do. I’ll be doing a Chris Redfield cosplay, and I have an authentic vietnam era flak jacket (pic related, not my exact one, but this is pretty much it), but for the cosplay to be accurate in terms of RE1 remake, I need it to add some lettering. My monkey brain actually considered electrical tape, which might be a little tedious, but there’s a lot of straight lines so I don’t think it would take longer than an afternoon’s time, but idk how it would turn out. Alternatively, I could say screw it and claim to be the original RE1 Chris where its a plain flak jacket lol, but that’s a last ditch effort. Any suggestions would be awesome!
Instead of electrical tape, you could consider having somebody cut you an actual vinyl decal. Look for a place that does car graphics, often the same shops that do window tint. It's surprisingly expensive but probably the best way to get a temporary solution that looks professional.
>>10969609now that you mention it, I think an old coworker once mentioned having a cricut to make vinyl decals for his car… but I thought those were more “permanent” (i.e., hard to remove, leaves residue/may take away from cloth materials). Does that mean you can get vinyl decals that are more gentle on the surface, at the expense of longetivity (which is perfectly fine in this case)?
>>10969611You might be able to get less sticky vinyl stock, but the normal stuff isn't any worse than electrical tape would be.
>>10969614understood. thank you!
