I got the natural ones. Easier to go darker than lighter.
Do we think hers are the butter colored that have been weathered/dyed? Or do we think they're the black?

There's certainly not one on the front. unless those sets of rivets on her right are actually snaps and not just decorative?
EDITED:
Maybe not. That image of her from behind seems to suggest there's a clasp of some sort on her right side. And the rivets on the front arent' laying like there's two pieces of leather meeting there.
Very true. Now to figure out sizing... hrm. Girl hands make this harder.
ALSO I am looking again at her gloves and it looks like they just replaced the strap on them entirely. they got rid of the hole and the embroidered logo, added snap and stitching - no way they could have done all of that with the original strap.
I have skinny long girl hands, too. (7" wide, 7.5" long.) The XS pair I have are a little bit wide and a bit short, so if you have longer fingers, you might want to go with the S.
Still need to pick up some spare goat? leather for the new wrist strap, and plan on using the original to test the stain/dye options.

Ahh, this thread! Exactly why I just popped by.. I've only watched the trailer about 10 times now, and decided her costume would be amazing to make. There's some interesting speculation about how Jyn fits into the overall plot of the new trilogy as well which could be fantastic. I won't go into that, but was originally going to wear my Rey to the premiere...now I'm not sure! I hope there's an affordable way I can put this together by December.
You all have some great resources so far. I'll probably start a Pinterest board like I did for Rey if anyone wants the link. Might be fun to do a collaboration too. I found that was a good way to keep the ideas from the original Rey thread organized for my build. Definitely updating the first post will help too Great work so far!!! I hope to contribute in the coming weeks and months.
This is FANTASTIC!Laubi, posted a great set of photos from the toy faire in a different Rogue One thread. And there are some fantastic closeup photos of all of the costumes there. (Look in the SW-R1-HD subfolder for the high def ones.) -- These are all from that set.

I don't see anything buckle/closure wise on the front, back, or holster side. Maybe the left side is a set of 4 snaps, I hadn't thought about that..........

I'm an idiot. I meant left side. I'm terrible with my left and my right. xD
BINGO! Looks like the closure is at the back, on the left - you can just catch it in the trailer:

I think the groups of four rivets --there are some at the back and some at the front-- are decorative...?
From my experience making belts, that's possible - if the end is skived enough and the strap is well cased, you can get a fold/loop to sit pretty flat.Now I REALLY want to see that left side. I just cant see the belt being held closed with snaps only, that just seems like trouble, especially with the action shots we have seen. I wonder if that is a side release or Han style with the leather looped through and then snapped onto itself, kind of like the Han rig?
