I was around in the 90s when the original Rubies costumes came out. The original Keaton cowl was big enough for just about anyone but the quality varied greatly. I bought 4 until I got a good one. The Returns cowl was much tighter and was trouble for anyone with a head 23.5". Now days there's such a variety to choose from.
I remember them, but I wasn't cosplaying then. I have this one and the new PatBat one. It's hard not to tinker with them.Just because they weren't expensive doesn't mean we should damage them. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I modified my patman cowl. I cut the throat piece off and cut the collar off. Also put some Eva foam on the inside to better fit. I used Velcro to reattach the pieces. There are tutorials on here for it.
Since I gave a friend of mine this cowl, he did have a bigger head, I decided to purchase another. It came today! Guess what? It fit WAAAY BETTER! I am looking forward to using it in my build. Stay tuned!
i got the rubies dark knight and the keaton one at walmart. i just have 2 so far. the dark knight walmart cowl fit me way better and seemed better to me than the keaton one. i got a big head. the dark knight fit good. i cant get the keaton one on. i feel like i would rip it. where the rubies dark knight one has a slit in the back with 3 velcro closures. i was real happy with the rubies dark knight cowl. i did a video of that cowl recently. fits so good. nice collection bro. i like rubies. i do have trick or treat studios stuff also. and i am into this new brand of masks aqkilo. i got tons of their mask and i do videos on tons of them. 6 dollars and 9 dollars. just insane. i got 2 more on the way. i collect zombie masks also. but ya since this the batman cowl is loose on you. it means it might fit me.

@@masterofnone7977 obrigado mano, ja assisti varios videos seus e todos são muito bons. Tenho uma coleção do Batman tambem e adoraria ter na minha coleção algumas coisas que aparecem nos seus videos!! Aqui no Brasil existe uma legião de Bat-fãs. Um forte abraço e tudo de bom para você!!
Eu realmente aprecio isso e espero poder continuar fazendo vídeos que você goste. Sim, diga aos seus amigos para assistir. "Não vou matar você! Quero que me faça um favor. Quero que conte a todos os seus amigos sobre mim! Sou o Batman" - Keaton
I went to Amazon to find the first cowl that you said wasn’t made of latex and the one I found that looked like what you had was made from PVC. That’s the one that you talked about right? I don’t know what PVC is when discussing it in this way. I’m only familiar with PVC pipes with the hard plastic.
Did I say PVC? Been a while since I made this. I might be urethane, but whatever it is, it’s stiffer than what fan makers use. It must also shrink over time because I can’t get my head into it at all now. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing.
Another fine addition to your collection sir. Surprised to hear how roomy it was. Also, I saw your earring right before you pulled it on and was like “OH NO…” You ever had any problems pulling a cowl over that?
LOL! Oh No was right! Post earrings can be tricky, but usually I'll take them out. I wear them so often that I forget sometimes, then PAY! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Nothing yet. I put this project on the backburner a while ago. Rustic Dad made a really good video on how to alter this cowl for a better fit, since it is HUGE even on a big head like mine. I bought an extra one to experiment on. The other is put away, like my 89 Keaton. This is one of the many cool things I've seen on Rustic Dad's channel. You should check him out!
I like the overall detail but like other Rubies masks I've collected wearing them looks like it'd be a challenge. I've got a movie Flash, and two Batfleck masks, one child one adult and the masks are either too big or too small. I have a relatively small head for an adult but still bigger than kids. Still, good video.
Thanks Joe! There is a cowl I bought off Amazon for The Dark Knight that was cool, but WAAAAY to small for my head. 23.5". Asian sizes might be your best bet, unless you commission a special size. Thanks for watching.
Sorry, but I can't seem to find it. Fan creators who work on commission have been being shut down by WB with cease and desist orders. Web pages, online stores, all of it is disappearing. This happened a few years back and most went out of business. The same is probably happening now. Your best bet is to try FB Marketplace for used pieces, but everything will sell at a premium now, because there won't be anything new in circulation. Good luck and please keep watching and subscribe.
@@J48k I think it depends on your head size. Another BatBro who belongs to a page I am on looks great in his and he did not pad it. my 23.5 head still had room. I think this is the perfect cowl for us guys who have bigger heads.
@@gabrielelanzafame4250 I commissioned the BATFLECK a few years ago from Hernandez EFX. Still love it! Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing!
Luis! Only if you have a larger head! I have a 23.5 inch dome and there is a lot of room. It will be worn eventually, but I will need a lot of padding. If you have a tiny head and don't want to pad, bypass this one!. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Pramit, the commissioned cowl, of course the Rubies cowl is great in a pinch, but it doesn’t come close to the fan created models! Good luck in your hunt and thank you for watching and subscribing
@@WitheredBonnieOfficial2 in the end, that’s all that matters. Even the best fan costume makers only do average sizes. My head is 23.5, so I am just squeezing into a larger mask.
That's actually a good question. All of the cowls i have except the 89 Keaton made by Hernandez Sculptures EFX are a flat black or variations of. Both the 89 Rubies and the The Pat Bat are a dusty flat black. How they appear in the video is true to their color in person. Thanks for viewing!
I haven't seen the one that I did the review on on EBay. However, on a FB page I belong to, The Cowl Vault, a dude said that he found one at his local Walmart for $20 or 30 on clearance?! You cant beat that! I would scour your local Walmats and go to the remote areas where there aren't a lot of young people. That's my method for finding cool stuff at Goodwill. Never go to one located close to a college campus, or high school. You will find nothing you want or need. Happy Hunting!
I appreciate all the succeeding cowls, pretty cool in their own way but man, to me it's an example of peeking first and everything after is 2nd or less. Nothing will ever beat the sheer awesome, badass perfection of the 89 Keaton cowl and suit. Still the best by far. Cool collection all around though man since you've obtained most...wait, all the good ones anyway. Your are obviously a real Batman fan. Excludes the ahem, mid-ninties abominations I've heared rumors exist.
LOL! Yeah, it's like you always love your first! The Kilmer and Clooney seemed like parodies of the Keaton to me. I belong to a couple of Bat Pages where the members are really creating some awesome costumes and coming up with original twists on the cartoon and movie versions of the Bat. Definitely bad ass! I think I am going to ask guys if they'd mind if I showcased their costumes and credit them in my videos. Continue to tune in. Thanks for dropping me a line!
My friend, your content in all your videos is very cool , nice reviews, but respectfully, they are so boring, slow, no cuts, silences.. again, respectfully try to edit them better and make them more dynamic. Regards and again:nice content !
Hey there, I see what you mean, anytime I go back and see earlier stuff. I won't make excuses, I'll just try to do better. Your opinion matters to me. I am exploring new ways to present new content. Feel free to stop back and share tips, or commentary any time! Thanks for watching,commenting and subscribing!!!
I don't like THE BAT MAN Cowl, my favourite (and there's been some variations over the years) is the BAT MAN BEGINS Cowl, just as the rest of the costume is best as well, the costume design is VERY IMPORTANT, because it's a...sample of the thinking on the overall film. If the costume isnt right, then neither is the film (with the exception of DAREDEVIL) the best example being "the ROBOCOP remake, a black power ranger costume, & a silly corny weak tea film.
Actually, I want to experiment with it and scar it like the PatBat cowl in the movie. Probably make a video, so if I screw it up, you will know WHAT NOT to do! LOL
@@masterofnone7977 Another word of advice: before you Plastidip it, stuff the cowl's ears with foam so that they hold their shape throughout the process.
@@notimportant3033 Good one! Cool thing about both cowls is the ears are very stiff and sturdy. However, for those tuning in, that is a great tip! Thank you!

I've got 2 of these coming and I have a 21" head so sizing will be an issue
Yes, for sure. I was surprised, but it is so nicely detailed that even if you can't wear it comfortably, it's a wonderful display.
@@masterofnone7977 true, I heard you can just wear a beanie when you wear the cowl to make it fit
Yes, same for me!

@@masterofnone7977 not only that but if u have problems fitting the mask u could wear a beanie and then wear the mask.
is the color a dark black or a light gray in person?

For a rubies, thats not bad at all!
Dragon Lover! (Me too) The two I reviewed are outstanding for the price. The Batfleck and the Dark Knight, I can't vouch for.

Cant seem to find this cowl anywhere can anyone help ?
Hey brother! Amazon! www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7TQJ86?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Hope the link works!
Is that vinyl or latex?
Hey, The Rubies mask is latex. most cowls from China are urethane. I'm unaware of any that are vinyl.
