Bikers looking to pinch Wolverine's style can sweat it out this summer in a leather motorcycle suit based on Logan's costume from X2: X-Men United.
"Wolverine has one of the sleekest, most amazing suits you can imagine, and what we're creating is as close to the real thing as you could possibly get," said David Pea, owner of UD Replicas, maker of the suit (pictured), in a press release Tuesday. "This is a project we've been working on for a long time, and it has taken literally hundreds of hours to get it right – but the end result is truly stunning and we hope fans will love it."
It's not all about Marvel Comics-inspired looks: The suit, unveiled at the recent Wizard World Toronto Comic Con, comes with body armor and Kevlar-enhanced protective gloves.
Next up for UD Replicas, which sold out its 1,000-piece run of hand-crafted The Dark Knight biker suits: a leather replica of Tony Stark's Mark V Suitcase Suit that will be seen in Iron Man 2. The company is "working furiously" to finish the Mark V motorcycle suit in time for the movie's May 7 premiere.
"We're going to mold and shape the leather to replicate the beautiful bevels and hard angles of the Mark V suit," Pea said. "We're making the leather look like metal, and doing things we never thought would be possible."
