What do you think about this?

Post by maferland »

Wondering what do you think about this site to order my costume

http://www.buystarwarscostumes.com/auth ... stume.html
Swear your allegiance to Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire! The museum quality Star Wars costume includes a robe, belt, cloak, gloves and a collector's helmet. The deluxe burgundy robe, made from flexible polyester fibers that stretch to fit, features a Velcro clasp at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The interior of the robe is a satin material, while the outside of the robe mimics crushed velvet. A matching burgundy polyester belt with a polyurethane lining fits around the waist with an adjustable Velcro clasp in the back, while a decorative knot is tied in the middle. The cloak is composed of a bright red exterior that feels like velvet, with a layered burgundy interior. A Velcro clasp and a metal clip around the neck keep the cloak securely in place (Note that the cloak has only one opening for the arms, not two as pictured). A set of deep mahogany colored, faux leather gloves fit over the hands. The molded collector's helmet spares no detail from the movies. It covers the head and neck completely and features a tinted visor for vision. All of our museum replica Star Wars costumes are officially licensed and make the perfect centerpiece to any serious Star Wars collection.

The first look seems interesting.
But the description tells me otherwise.
Since the gloves are for the RotS Guard the could not be used wit a one armed RotJ Robe.
Satin and crushed velvet are not approvable for the outer robe. As polyester is not good for the inner robe.
So my advice is to stay away from it.

The thing that bothers me most on this if the fact that it is a Movie photo still and not of the actual product. So that is miss representation of a product.
