Bumping for feedback since very close to purchasing one of these beautiful buckles
Just want to make sure it's perfect for my Hux that I want to build with the 401st legion because postage to Australia is expensive

Thanks to all the useful refs. on this thread and info I'm near done my Hux uniform! Love the RPF for all it's useful info <3
Ordered one of the above belt buckles and waiting on it as the finishing touch of the main uniform. On to making the Great Coat tonight! Wish me luck, have just under two weeks to finish it for the convention.

Hi there!
Need to make a topic on my own to post multiple pics of my Hux costume as promised and some detailling photos to help others, but I need to adjust some things on it before adn to tigh up some moire the belt, really too loosy at the moment...
Anyway, seeing all that pics, couldn't resist to post up one or two pics of me on it, so let's go ^^
Belt buckle was custom made on order, and the patch custom embroidered with a design I draw. I did everything else: jacket, breeches and leather belt. Need to make a pair of leather gloves for next event, the cap, and adjust some details on the jacket now I have more pics from HD screen caps (courtesy of my friend Loan ).
Look at the end of the message to find great and helpful pics!
Enjoy!
This last with my fiance, who I made the Luke ROTJ duel tunic for, keeping it as accurate as I could regarding the feminine template
Pic of the back of the jacket, showing it is split.
Front of the jacket. Metal fasteners for pants are used. Personnaly, I used 30 mm Prym fasteners, that are exactly looking like the ones used for FO jackets, but I need to double them: I thought there were 4, need 4 more!

I'm back, I wasn't going to post another photo till it was the 100% finished outfit with full makeup but ....I'm very proud of how this damn coat is turning out so I needed to share Still need to hem it and give it a good steam press; but it's nearly done! Surprising amount of hand sewing has gone into it, RIP finger tips.

Hey folks, in the never ending search for Hux boots I've finally found a pair i'm giving a shot. They have a dumb buckle on the side that I think i can remove, but they also have that all important wedge heel. I bought the last pair available at the moment, but maybe searching the name will yield more results? I should have them by thursday. I'll update with pics if they are as good as they look on the page.

I got to see katmurz's costume up close a couple of weeks ago at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo and it's soooooo lovely. She was gracious enough to join us in the 501st photo booth with Kylo and a couple of TFA Troopers to help raise money for Make A Wish. I'd post a picture of it, but I'd rather she be the one to share how fabulous this all turned out. Really, REALLY fantastic work, chickadee!

Update! the shoes are amazing! The biggest negative is that the buckle is extremely well attached. Rivets and stitching. So i'm going to paint the silver bits black and not concern myself. My greatcoat covers them anyway.
Hi all! I've just started my first costume info gathering, and this forum has been so helpful! I'm trying to source the right sort of fabric in Australia, which seems to have a dearth of grosgrain outside of the ribbon industry. The hunt for substitutes continue!
My main question is: how much fabric did you guys (and gals) use to make your costumes? Theres a sale on at Lincraft atm and I really wanted to pick up enough fabric for Hux's tunic and pants!
Any suggestions on meterage?

Usually I use 4 to 5 meters for pants and jackets. My advice should be to take 5 meters, especially if you've not worked a lot with this kind of fabric, so you have a little of backup.
Have you tried to sort out Ottoman fabric? Better choice than the Grosgrain which is more for ribbons and slings and thus nearly impossible to find as laizes.

awww, that's so kind of you; thank you so much <3 I was so flattered that you asked, I know how seriously the 501st takes their costume so it was a real treat to join you all on that great set; and you were all so friendly and welcoming! It's made me look into joining the 501st once the Hux CRL is up (though we sadly lack a much of Garrison in Manitoba really
)I didn't get a pic during that, but did get a pic with the Peter's during the Parade the day before!! Here it is :3!! Doing a shoot with this costume this weekend so more photos soon.
I ordered the Imperial brand Hux boot's to replace my current inaccurate ones; will post photos whenever I get them!
For Fabric, I used 6 for my uniform, 9 for my coat (doesn't including lining and such obviously). I'm about 6' and average build to give you a height/weight to fabric need's ref.
