Hey, I'm interested in seeing if there are any zentai shops I haven't tried. I used to love the material that Spandexman used in their suits before the site shutdown. I also really liked the lycra material you could get from the random ebay shop.
My question is if anyone knows of any shops running still that carry a similar style material?
I've tried stretchstyle, fets-fash, winterfetish and I found the material to be a bit scratchy? I'm not sure if it is something where once you wash it enough it smooths out, but I don't remember having that issue with my old suits.
I have tried Taobao suits which are phenomenal, but still not quite that classic lycra/spandex feel from the Spandexman type days.
Appreciate any info, Thanks.
You're looking for milliskin spandex. The kind that was predominant back in the 80's. It has a blend ratio of about 70% lycra spandex to 30% nylon. While it can be found in a matte finish, it's generally known for that classic spandex glossy shine. Jeffrey Scott offered it among the tights/singlets he sold. Again, you're looking for milliskin spandex. Ballet tights were primarily made of it until microfiber came along.
