Custom Cosplay Fabric Printing

What are cosplay fabrics?

Cosplay is a shortened term of 2 words; costume and play. It is a performance art, likely to have originated in Japan, where cosplayers wear specific costumes and accessories to represent a character from Anime, Manga, video games or other visual media. A lot of cosplayers make their own cosplay clothing, and this is where cosplay fabric comes in.

There is a wealth of cosplay materials available, so much so, that a cosplay fabric guide is often required.

Some popular examples include:

  • Mesh

How are they manufactured?

Cosplay fabrics are available online with a wide variety to choose from. Each fabric is manufactured slightly differently, and there are synthetic fabrics and natural textiles to choose from.

The different weights cosplay fabrics come in makes a difference to the manufacturing process. Natural fabrics such as cotton or silk are made by taking substances and breaking them down into fibres which are then spun into yarns. Hand or machine can do this. Synthetic fabrics are made by using chemicals and other substances to create fibres, which are then turned into yarns to create the fabric.

Blended fabrics; when natural and synthetic fibres are blended, comprises of a combination of both methods.

Purposes of cosplay fabrics

The main purpose of these textiles is to create cosplay clothing. Costumes are usually elaborate and imaginative, with different fabrics needed to represent different elements of the costume.
