seeking gloves and boots

Post by darth_trayolphia »

the final items i need to complete the rots guard i have been working on is a pair of boots...but also now after reading the CRLs, it looks like i need to get a different pair of gloves, cos getting leather gloves was difficult, and all i knew was that they were red, i found a nice pair of gloves which were a similar colour and texture to the outer cloak material.

if that would be ok please someone let me know

anyway, primarily i need the boots

here in australia i am a size eleven, which by the american system i believe is a nine or nine and a half.

if anyone has any info or knows where i could get a pair of boots please let me know asap

also, if the red fabric gloves i have are not suitable under any circumstances, i would also appreciate any suggestions for finding gloves

please note that i can spend a literal fortune on this stuff
i would hope that boots would not cost over $100 and gloves (if needing to buy another pair now) not over $75 as i am cureently without a job :tr:

Leather Gloves would be the preferred for the costume. Let me see a pic of the gloves and I'll give you my feed back on them.

i already checked with the sotre that refunds are posible...especially when i mentioned what the gloves would be for (helps when the store owners are star wars fans)

and if needed, i can return them

I've got the Silhouettes boots that are posted in the costuming thread. The only complaint is now I'm on their mailing list and I really don't need a women's clothing catalogue every month.

ok, a 'local' royal guard has offered to make a forcepike(just a different state of australia...but still from Terror Australis Garrison, so i have the pike sorted

i will be going into the city tomorrow to grab those gloves and get pics to see it they are passable or not, at least in short term till i can find a suitable pair of leather gloves

so the one thing i really need to find though is the boots, cos i would prefer the red ones if possible rather than black

My wife loves it every month when my new Silhouttes catalogue shows up. Not that she orders from it, but it just gives her one more excuse to make fun of me!

I would have to say no on the gloves. These are a suede fabric where as the AOTC and ROTJ are cloth fabric and the ROTS is the Leather
