Have you by chance listened to Custom Action Figure New's Roundtable on molding and casting?

I had listened to the casting round table discussing making head & weapon casts but did not get any info on casting jackets, belts etc so that's why I started a new post. The podcasts are great since they have really been a great reference zone.

Bet its probably done fairly much the same way with some added sprue to make sure things don't get air bubbles.
