So, no RPF love for the new pilot, Poe Dameron?

Interesting, it doesn't seem to be a word in any language, (but Google translate detected that it was Icelandic for some reason). Looks like we have a new mystery on our hands.

I thought that to! I tried to translate the vest last night and quickly gave up, maybe the person responsible for the text on the helmet was not the same as the vest?

I found the gloves! They are Kevlar lined uk motorcycle/ uk riot gloves. The trick is to find a pair with the separated thumb. poe glove 1.jpgpoe glove 2.jpg

I found 2 places with the type of glove that I'm looking for. One was ebay uk which unfortunately sold out. The other is a store that has them for about 40 pounds each in size medium and large. The only quirk with him is that he has a web site but you can't purchase on the website. You have to email him. All in all \a pair runs around 80 dollars including shipping which isnt so bad considering they are being shipped to the U.S, His website is here: http://www.f2motorcycles.ltd.uk/clothing.html
or you can try to fine them via ebay like these: please do not post ebay links

This seems to be the consensus across the internet. "Pull to inflate" written upside down so that Poe can read it correctly while he is wearing it (very practical and I think it is a wonderful touch).

Anyone find the PLCE roll-pin belt in the correct grey color with black tab (grey stitching)?
All I keep seeing is standard military colors.
 
Here's our next venture for his Resistance uniform....his boots. I'm almost positive that they're a found item, as they have a logo stamped on the top fastener strap. We can do it guys!

I just posted this to The Parts of Star Wars Facebook page...
(like the page for more new TFA parts! https://www.facebook.com/PartsofSW)
Po Zu brand Well-2 boots in brown
(Poe's boots seem to be re-dyed or painted black or very dark brown. Several wear marks reveal the original brown color underneath)

You just made my night. That price is absolutely insane, but I just had to order them since I really dig his Resistance uniform. Lets hope he's wearing them for more than just 2 minutes in the movie. :D

My first impression of this overall is:
- The cotton fabric is heavy duty and suitable material for pilot suite (even if it isn't the correct one)
- The orange is very ORANGE and not as "red" as in the online pictures (but it was easy to color)
- There is NO zipper, only buttons in front behind a flap covering them (maybe this could be left in place, if you are doing a full dressed pilot only)
- ALL pockets has to be removed and replaced/shaped to fit look in pictures (I didn't remove the rear pockets before dyeing it red since I hadn't seen the "behind" pictures from the second trailer..big mistake..as the red didn't get all in where the pockets were attached...weathering might hide this mistake :rolleyes )

Which style of Wenaas coverall did you get? It looks slightly different to mine. Whilst mine does have a zip it also has some poppers which aren't. So yours maybe a better choice.

I'm not sure what colour the flightsuit should be, in daylight mine doesn't look that far off. But people like Hasbro and Lego who have previously produced Xwing pilot figures aren't using the same colour they normally have so the colour must be different to classic.

I have a couple pairs with the Kevlar lining and one with the cotton lining. They're reallllllly awesome - perhaps the best "found item" starfighter gloves imaginable. They have so much soul! As hard as they are to find, it's only going to get worse - as I understand it, the lots that were on the market were old stock.
