Han Solo Ep 7 costume

Is there no need for zippers, clasps, buckles, etc in the SW universe??? LOL

George originally said he didn't want any visible closing mechanisms in the costumes. At least this one has some magnets. Han's other jacket and vests have no closure whatsoever.

I received my Han jacket this morning and I have to say... it is superb! Very well made, looks fantastic and the smells brilliant it's so soft aswell, such a beautiful thing to touch.

Really pleased with it.

PLEASE show us!

(I'll leave Sevv to add more info, post any pics, etc)

Just in time for the Friday show. These are the 1100mah but I padded the inside of the pouch.

So I got my Han solo jacket from Indy today. I'm sure this is no surprise to anyone but the jacket is amazing. I dont know how the guy does it. I'll post pictures up tomorrow.

 

[Mitch LaRue]

So... I'm curious; do we have any good leads as to exactly what kind of leather was used on the one Ford wears?

LOL I may have just discovered the unexpected Answer to my own question:

*Possible Spoiler*

I was just looking through the Force Awakens Visual Dictionary and on the page with Solo's Info it points to his JACKET and indicates "NERF-Leather Jacket" LOL

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Funny... I always thought nerf-hide with be more suede-like. :rolleyes

 

[Mitch LaRue]

You've gotta shave the scruffy hair ALL the way off (don't even leave the suede-like stubble on it) in order to get down to the beautiful hide beneath

Gotta ask: What's with the vertical lines at the top of the left shoulder? I don't see that detail in any of the available pics.

I believe they are in this pic. Faint, but they're there.

What are the chances we'll see brown Falcon Boots from Indy for that TFA costume?

Working on prototypes right now.

Will the price point be the same? D

Looks GREAT, Chuck!
Do you mind me asking what leather you went with for yours?


Magnoli, while re-watching the movie, to My eyes it seems like Solo's Force Awakens jacket (much like Indy's Raiders jacket) seems designed to sit a bit HIGH in the back...
Is that something you're naturally working into the cut of Your design, or is that something that you'd be doing for Clients on a case-by-case 'Upon Request' kinda' basis?

 

[Mitch LaRue]

One MORE question, actually, Chuck:
The weathering on your jacket... Your doing? Or Magnoli's?

 

[chuck2003]

Thats all Magnoli guys a jacket whisperer haha. The weathering looks more pronounced in the pictures then it does in person. Very light distressing along the seams I really love how it came out
