I
am always on the lookout to improve my masks and I have found another
one.
Adjustable
Elastics:
Adjustable
elastic is now totally adjustable even after the quality 3/4 inch elastic
starts to gives out. For years I have been looking for a better way to
beat this problem of the elastic that holds the masks on. I have now found
a better way. Of course, it takes more time to add this feature but it
is very handy for adjusting the tightness of the mask and wonderful when
the elastics' life starts to give out. This new system is simple and effective
enabling the actor to adjust the elastic and mask to his or her comfort.
Leather
Masks come with adjustable elastics.
Neoprene Latex Masks there is a $17 charge if you would
like to add adjustable elastic on your mask.
Clean
Edge:
In my masks, all elastics (that are used to hold the masks on to your
face) are securely attached to the mask. Giving a clean edges on the
sides of the mask. No rivets or strange attachments. Yes it takes much
longer to attach the elastics the way I do, but it will last a long time.
No
Rivets, No Distracting Attachments to hold on the elastic:
Many mask makers use rivets in the side of their masks to hold the elastic
on. It is much quicker and simpler and cheaper to do. Two problems I have
seen with this - (1) I have not seen a rivet that will not corrode (rust).
(2) The rivet weakens the holding point of the elastic and it will break
in time. In addition, I think the rivets detract from the character of
the mask.
When
looking at a performance you do not want the audience to be looking at
revits or a clever way elastic is held on; we only want to see the character.
Elastic
quality:
Elastic quality is something that I have always been concerned
with. Being in NYC and having access to the NYC Garment Center I acquired
durable high quality fresh non-roll 3/4 inch elastic.
The life of this elastic extend beyond everyday common elastic or the
small 1/2 elastic which is never use because it is to weak for long lasting
and durable wear.
Keeping
the cost of my neoprene latex masks low for you. Neoprene Latex
Masks without adjustable elastics are available because I understand many
people and organizations have tight budgets. This is why I offer adjustable
elastic and lining as add-on features. This keeps prices low and give
you the option of ordering adjustable elastic on your masks if you are
able to.
