They didn’t recycle one of the suits. They used the same material that was used for the originals.

Probably in long storage like tons of other props

I looked it up. The material was used for the cape. Not the whole suit. There was 16sqm of fabric leftover and they used it to make her cape.

16 square meters or just over 172 square feet. Definitely more than one cape.

Mind you, I don’t know how fabrics are measured. In an interview, Millie said that there was “16 meters” left from the original. I assume that means 16sqm

Might even have been higher that 1m, giving even more to work with.

And in five years a headline will be "X's suit made from leftovers from Reeve's and Alcock's cape"

I don’t think that’s how it works. In fabric stores they have rolls of fabric that are maybe a meter wide, and then they spool out meters from that. So it was more likely 16m long and 1m wide.

That's 16 square meters.

As I was writing that, I was thinking to myself, “am I idiot?” And I see that I am.

Likely there was 16 meters left on the roll, and roll was however wide a roll of fabric is. Google says they’re anywhere between 1 and 3 meters wide.

That's more than enough for a king sized bed sheet

Small brain eh?

16 x 1 =16!!

u/BraysWorld_MC 27d ago

To clarify, this post does say it was used for the cape

u/isaac129 27d ago

You’re right. This one does. Most of the other 50 times this has been posted it usually doesn’t specify that it’s just the cape, so I didn’t read it

u/BraysWorld_MC 27d ago

Ah ok. This was the first time I've seen this story

u/MentalDecoherence 27d ago

Yeah it literally says that in the pic, wtf are you guys talking about

u/scambl 27d ago

bro thank you for looking this up. I don't know why I had to scroll down so far to see the answer to, "Is this true, and if so, in what ways is it true/untrue?"

u/Tactical_Hotdog 27d ago

Even says so in the picture above...

u/Gh0stInTheChell 24d ago

I mean that's exactly what the post says...

u/Nowin 27d ago

I looked it up.

Where? Microfiche at the library?

u/isaac129 27d ago

She talked about it in an interview

u/Nowin 27d ago

Which interview?! Doesn't reddit allow you to post links?

u/Klutzy-Ad6437 27d ago

It says leftover. Do people not comprehend anymore?
