Han Solo Ep 7 costume

Are the cylinders in Han's jacket the same as the ones in the calf pouches on the resistance pilot uniforms? They appear to be the same design (just scaled down), but I want to double check with you enthusiasts. :)

I have just taken delivery of my Magnoli Solo Jacket and all I can say is that this is a work of art. It fits me perfectly, the leather, stitching and light distressing are faultless and if there is anyone sitting on the fence over one of these all I can say is that you will never regret it.

Magnoli's work is simply top drawer.

So, I'm a bit nervous about posting here, because I'm not trying to go for "replica" with my Han costume. I'd barely qualify it as even "good enough". It's more Halloweenish than anything.

Anyway, two things. I got my jacket from fjacket. Pricey for the quality, but it came fast and unmistakably looks like Han's Force Awaken jacket. (From a distance.) It is not dark enough brown, nor distressed in any meaningful way, though judging from the quality of the leather that might not be a problem soon. :p (Any suggestions on how to protect it?)

The upside? Magnetic closures! No zipper or Velcro.

I followed the suggestion here and picked up some 1100 mAh vape batteries. They are just shy of 10 cm or a bit less than 4 inches. Here is a pic:

And now, I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of RPF voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced ... (The jacket arrived the day before the con, but NOT the brown pants I ordered. So I wore black ones, with black Funtasma boots. And a Rubies blaster. Sorry folks. You might want to look away.)

Hey Gojulas, speaking for myself, I find that ALL of the stuff that people (like yourself) are kind enough to contribute Here is good and USEFUL info ;)
So, THANKS for contributing to the discussion and adding to the wealth of information here in this thread!

That buckle's looking pretty good. As you mentioned, inset the bar so it sits flatter and maybe flatten out the tongue. I believe it's more of a watch style tongue which is wide and flat.

I've been trying to source the actual buckle for my leather shop with no luck for a while but it looks like you'll have a pretty definitive version.


Here is our initial prototype Solo Ep7 pants belt and buckle:

We're going to set the cross bar lower so the belt rests more flush with the surface of the buckle. Stay tuned...
 
God it's been a long time since I've been on here, So i've just went through this post and just regarding Han Solo Shirt this is what I was think it looked like a classic Rugby shirt I picked this up on ebay.UK

Are there prints available of the TFA art you are pointing to? I love it!

The art has not been used officially as yet so there are no posters available generally unfortunately.

There are a small handful of Artist Proofs available from me personally and the poster is 27" x 40" in size (each one takes over an hour to print - using a museum grade 12 color ink process on Archival paper). The AP's are signed and numbered and are priced at US$400.00 including rolled postage anywhere in the world.

Thanks for your enquiry.
