It sounds like FP may have stopped robes due to fabric supply issues.

It seems CP still have a store on ebay for a few robes, and are essentially FP robes.

Helmet wise I went through TPE in Australia years ago, but even he isn't doing many helmets these days.

I know I've said before how much I dislike my FP robes, but at the same time I lack any sewing skills lol! I'm sure some better updated information re: suppliers is currently being collated.

It is however slowly appearing like the best advice is source the fabric yourself, sew yourself, or commission a local seamstress (within garrison or not), ensuring you have lots of pictures (then painting bucket to match robes).

Hi

Thanks for getting back to me..

I will pass that on..

The guy was only talking to Ramiro in FP yesterday and he never Mentioned anything..

Contact info for TPE? measuring my Lid lastnight and trying to compare it to some of the measurements
its on the larger scale to most of the lids I have found, ( I got my lid second hand so I dont know its origin)
But I got robes from FP and got the bucket strayed to match.

I agree with you on the Robes but its a lesser of two evils, which is Why Im trying to help out a garrison mate
and get him sorted and looking for help on up to date suppliers.

Thanks

TPE bucket is crazy expensive. It's awesome, and made of HIPS, nice and light whilst on. I contacted him about 6 months ago asking if he could do a helmet, and it was a no for the time being and forseeable future sadly. I haven't searched FP for helmets recently.

On the FP site the guard costume doesn't seem to be listed anymore. I believe one of the past detachment staff might be personal friends with him (sorry can't remember the username), and the last word appeared to be access to the fabric they used. I agree, going FP is the quicker entry as it doesn't rely on all the extra work in finding yourself fabric etc.. i always find burgundy easy of course, but the red..

CP (costume props I think), work out of the same country as FP from memory, and might even use the same fabric and pattern. A search will show the model looks pretty much the same.

I had my pike custom made by a metal worker here in Australia, but again it isn't the cheapest, but damn nice. Cabbagefarmer stil takes orders I believe.

Thanks mate

Yeh CF will be the pike For sure,,

Custom Props Will look into,, I noticed on FP they are not listing the RG anymore..

Cant Seem to find on here the Pages that compared Lid sizes and measurements.... blast....

As my friend tried on my Lid over the Weekend and it fit him perfectly,, Trying to find the Same
one is a pain in the.....................

Yea it can be. TPE runs a little smaller than the fibregalss ones anyway.

Luke's lids are actually quite nice too from what I've seen and they're not that much of a kick in the wallet either. For a completely finished helmet it's $325 without shipping.
