Re: Shadowguard Armor and undersuit

No! It's a ripstop material, so it has that reinforced stitching to prevent tears. I'm not sure why it's so visible in that second picture. Must be a crazy flash, or something. In-person, it's completely imperceptible unless you're looking at the material from mere inches away. There's no colour dif...

Re: Shadowguard Armor and undersuit

After looking around for a good long while, I ended up buying the Engine Intake Suit Coveralls on this page: https://www.militarysupplyhouse.com/coverallsus1.htm They're made of high-quality ripstop material, and have no pockets that need removal. They're a little more expensive than the Red Kap sui...

Re: How to fit Shadow Guard vambraces properly

Nah, still working on it, but it's a bit lower down the priority list at the moment. I was just hoping to be able to work out an appropriate starting ratio, and then I'd go to trial and error. Thanks for the info, though!

Re: The force Unleashed Costume Upgrades/ increased screen accuracy

Did the bracers tutorial ever happen? They're the part I keep putting off because I'm not sure whether a slit down the inside is allowed, or how to properly fit them if I have to squeeze my hand through the wrist opening. Also, how committed is leadership to the Attack of the Clones style cloak in t...

Re: Recommended fabrics for Shadow Guard cloak?

I see plush triple velvet recommended a lot, and this looks good, but I think 44" wide is unlikely to be sufficient, at least without being extremely wasteful: https://syfabrics.com/products/plush-triple-velvet1?_pos=1&_sid=1af71ac01&_ss=r This looks great, and is (probably) the right w...

Re: Endor Armory is missing 2 people for a saber pike run

Anyone else interested in getting in on the current run of these? It sounds like a few people may have backed out, so he's now a few people short to go into production.

Re: Non-leather Shadow Guard boots (and belt)

(To clarify, I'm not saying they're over-priced; just expensive. I get that good quality tailored boots aren't going to be cheap, but I just want to be really careful if I'm considering dropping that kind of money on something like this.)

Re: Non-leather Shadow Guard boots (and belt)

I was recently inducted into the academy for Garrison Carida, and the commandant recommended I look at Crow Props, since they have a synthetic leather you can request they use. Does anyone else have these boots (either in genuine leather or synthetic): https://crowprops.bigcartel.com/product/black-o...

Re: Recommended fabrics for Shadow Guard cloak?

Thank you! I believe the Shadow Guard CRL was written before Rogue One released, and probably just hasn't been updated, but every visual reference I can find for the cloak looks more like Rogue One than Attack of the Clones. I was operating under the assumption that higher accuracy would trump that ...

Re: Recommended fabrics for Shadow Guard cloak?

I've seen it mentioned that the original Return of the Jedi royal guard robes were actually made out of 20oz cotton velour, but it seems like velour is off the table for these? I know I want cotton-based material, so it's easier to wash, and I know to stay away from crushed velvet, but do I want &qu...
