After a busy day at PAX I decided it was probably about time I gave an update on my build, the robes need to be taken up as Imperial Boots send them un-hemmed but overall I'm happy with them.

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 stated in their Terms of Sale, but I am eager and looking to gather other consumers’ feedback.

2) How did the robes fit? As expected? As you’ve said, I know they come unhemmed, so I am mainly asking about width.

Thanks!

Eric

I can answer both of these as I've got my own set from IB.

1) I believe, once my wave ended it was about a week and a half to two weeks until I got my tracking number. One thing I should note is I actually got a free bump to express shipping due to the Easter holiday, so for me it took about 3 weeks total, give or take a few days.


2) Width wise you should really look closely at the measurements charts, then you can probably guage how they'll fit you. Mine were rather large and I got both of the belt pieces hemmed as well as my robes, it all depends on how close you are to the size measurements on the charts.

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for the information! Just got the robes last Thursday, and now waiting for the forcepike. Cheers!

Cabbagefarmer has actually stopped selling pikes. Which is unfortunate, because they are indeed quite impressive!
