  • Look for things listed as "athletic", it's probably a double knit polyester, but that's just a guess.

  • I dont know how hollywood does it, but here's a method that spiderman cosplayers have been using for a while

    If youre just going for texture you could also layer netting and spandex of the same color.

  • The fabric is called athletic/performance/sport knit mesh. It looks like it is underlined with a gold or nude stretch satin

  • I would like to add that the texture you see is screen printed on the fabric, with a blend of inks. You have to make you own screen printing set up or Puffy paint it on like the Spiderman cosplayers [URL="https://www.google.com/search?q=spiderman+puffy+paint+tutorial.&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrs96yqaXUAhUO_mMKHbI3DXwQ_AUICygC&biw=1280&bih=932"]do[/URL].
