Hey Guys! puting together costumes for Poe Dameron the best damn pilot in the galaxy for my brother Joe, and Kylo for myself. Mine will not be as accurate as his, as I will upgrade it once the 501st CRL is released. dont wanna waste too much money before we get a clearer picture.

the Poe we are going for is the Non X-wing poe. With the Jacket he can be seen getting arrested in, in the reel from Comic con, and like the toys released.

We went with the Magnoli jacket from JJ Griffin, who put work into the greeblies on it. very happy with the look. posted the references too for anyone else who doesnt wanna search the web.

Let’s start with the jacket. I have the Indy Magnoli jacket. While I feel that the color is a little darker than it should be (he’s probably addressed this by now) I am absolutely in love with this jacket. It will be tailor made to you and you will seriously wear this often as an every day piece. I never make it back to the house without receiving at least one complement on it.

The greeblies and buckles I got from JJ on the RPF. I highly recommend letting him paint and weather them as he does a great job! Also, the buckle thing that goes on the strap is closed in the back. Some people have been taking their jacket to a tailor to have it attached, don’t do that. Take a dremmel to the back of it and gut a groove just wide enough to fit the strap through sideways. Fits nice and snug.

Danny on the RPF is also refining the design on his jacket at almost half the price. While his last run is a little less accurate in cut, the color is way closer and can be easily made to look just right with some weathering. (NOTE: he will also be offering a set of metal greeblies and buckles to go with it on his next run)

Now for the boots. The actual screen used boots are called “well 2 Black” from a company called Po-Zu. The price tag will be a little jarring at first but just like the jacket, they are incredibly comfortable and also get compliments on the street quite often.

These pants are the most accurate in design (particularly waist height) but you will have to do some dye work to get the color just right.

The shirt is actually an Indian kurta. It is pretty hard to find these in a close cut to what we need, especially without some crazy embroidery all over the front. Luckily, after WAY to much time digging around, I found a maker on ETSY that had something very close. I sent her an email and she was extremely accommodating about lowering the neckline for me. The color I chose was “natural linen.” After seeing the film, I believe that their “soft yellow” color is a little more accurate.

The buckle I also found on ETSY. Ask them NOT to apply the protective layer. Leave it in a drawer for a few days and it will weather itself perfectly.

For the belt, I took kind op a weird approach. It was harder than I thought it would be to find a belt that had the thickness, color, and weathering I wanted. I ended up finding the perfect one but I had to saw off the existing buckle so i could replace it with my buckle. To attach the new buckle, I took some tin snips to the connecter and slid it through. Then I re-attached it with a soldering iron.

WOW!!!!


thanks for a really comprehensive list and links and info - you are awesome!! I have been looking at both the Magnoli jacket and Danny's. While Danny's is about half price I find there are a number of inaccuracies that would bug me and also possibly hinder approval in the Rebel Legion. So might have to go for the Magnoli jacket....but looks great!
