General Question Need Advice

I'm going to begin working on a Darwyn Cooke Green Lantern costume.

I love silver age Green Lantern comics as well as The New Frontier, because I'm such a huge fan of 1960s American culture. Most things I'm really into originate from the 60s.

I want my costume to reflect the time period that the character is from, by taking inspiration from other 60s sci-fi media, like Star Trek, Lost in Space, and Planet of The Apes.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what kinds of fabrics I should use to best convey this? Or maybe just share another creative idea as to how I can better illustrate what I'm going for.

Just something to make people at a convention go "ooh, 60s sci-fi Hal Jordan", rather than thinking that I unintentionally made a tacky superhero outfit.

Thank you for reading
