Han Solo Ep 7 costume

[Scarlisian]

I'm working on a fairly inexpensive version of this costume, and am wondering what options people have seen for the pants? Here's a picture of what I'm using now, just basic pants, but I think the pants have no pockets and pin-tucks on the front. I appreciate any thoughts you guys have.

You're not likely to find an off the shelf version of the pants that have no pockets, and a pintuck already in place. You'll either need to add the pintuck and sew the pockets shut, or have a pair of pants completely custom made. If you're not terribly concerned with accuracy you can grab a pair of these pants:

And make the changes. I dyed mine with a bit of dark brown RIT for a few minutes to get a better color on them. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give that a try.

No problem!

I found a few pics via Google of the Han costume on display somewhere at some point. Thought I would share:

There are a couple of other things to take note of... One, the CO2 cartridge is longer and silver instead of the shorter teal soda CO2 cartridge from the ANH holster. Also, the pants belt has a cross bar buckle on it, and isn't anything like what we've seen on the previous Han belts. Here is something similar from Tandy Leather:

This one might not be big enough, but it might be a start...

And the last thing is the boots. I have been searching high and low for something similar. I can't find anything that doesn't have elastic, or zippers, or any other modern convenience on it. FINALLY, as if by a miracle of the Force I found these:

They come in brown, and reflect the classic Han boots very well. With a bit of dust and wear, along with some breaking in, I think they'll really look the part. Hope this information helps someone out there out a bit.

... That's not how the Force works...

Thanks, these are very helpful.

Here's a better picture I took of the pants belt buckle. I really want to make that belt, so hopefully somebody can find the buckle. It's likely they made a new prong, I've never seen a wide one like that. As for the buckle frame itself, it's similar to some vintage military buckles I've seen, but I haven't been able to find anything similar for sale.

I've been looking for that buckle for a while without any luck. I've found a few that are close but don't have all the features: square center-bar, flat tongue, slightly curved with narrow sides. This is as close as I've gotten but it's still far from exact. If anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Yea, that's pretty far off. The end bars look round and the front surface is curved. The center bar is recessed as well.

Has anyone found something not too expensive for the shirt?

Magnoli's is awesome, but expensive. There's eBay for cheap. You're looking for somewhere in between?

I'm working on a screen accurate shirt right now.

Yes, I just got mine today in fact from an Etsy store.

If Leigh doesn't have it listed on the shop, just contact her. The price she quoted me was $75. Looks and fits great!

I wouldn't endorse Khloe, I ordered stuff from her and nothing was right, my shirt was about 3 times too big for me and her leia gown was see through.

Edit: it also took 6 months.

 

[Mitch LaRue]

I'd love to see a photo of you wearing that shirt, Mark
Any chance you could share one with us?

 

[koolmoedee1000]

I'll find one tonight and post it

Here is a new photo that has a good view of the left pouch on the holster. They must have used velcro to close it.

 

[lewistully]

Also a good shot showing how wide the pants belt is. Almost as wide as the holster.

Yikes...that Luke bespin fatigue set looks like rice paper it is so thin.

Notice that photo the background is at the Resistance base. Rey never wore that outfit there and this scene took place outside of Maz's Castle before they went in. They likely filmed it in front of the Falcon which was at the Resistance base set and changed the scenery to be a lot of trees and the Falcon behind/beside them in the finished shot.
