Does anyone else have any other experiences adding padding to the costume that gives it a bit more of a subtle look? It seems you’ve been given good advice on padding thus far, but seeing as I personally had the most difficulty getting the padding look right, I thought I might offer my two cents ...

Hey there, You’re looking great! Quick questions for you if you don’t mind. I am starting my own guard build and just ordered from Imperial Boots tonight. Couple of questions: 1) From the time of order, about how long did it take to receive the robes? I am aware of their estimated guidelines sta...

Are these still being made and/or sold? PM sent as I am interested in puchasing one if possible. If not, no worries! Thank you!
