Get two belts and sew them together. Make the seam so it is covered by the harness suspension in the back.

Hey folks, I'm hoping some really good costume and prop people will work on these. I usually buy for Cal (Mon Cal). I hope he decides to work on items soon.
The flight suit material is NOT like the old trilogy material. It had a reflective sheen to it. Hard to see in the pics. If anyone is working on stuff. Let me know. I already ordered boots and gloves. I have more pics, but not much different. It was hard to get close to it since there was a proximity alarm. (That I kept tripping and made everyone annoyed).
I'm currently working on a screen-accurate/found-parts Poe Dameron/Resistance Pilot ejection harness sourcing the same webbing and base belts/buckles used for the production: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=248527&highlight=Poe+Dameron. Quite a few Rebel Legion members are interested in them, so I'll be announcing a run very soon once my prototype is completed. I'm also thankful to have seen a private collector's ejection harness and suit from the film, which made all the little quirks of the belt possible to recreate.
Holster and blaster are in the works too using the same airsoft gun model they sourced for their castings. Those will come at a separate date.
Dang, looks like the suit fabric is a nylon cordura after all. That's going to be UNBEARABLE unless it's freezing cold out.
Anybody have any thoughts on the ribbed elastic? Maybe the washing/dying process made the ridges smooth out like that?
Some one I know who saw it in person says the eleastic looks exactly like the ruffled elastic we ae using, except it has been tinted.
No way I'm gonna make the flight suit out of cordura, unless somefinds a garment friendly type. It would be a sweat beg. The only cordura Ive found the in the right color is polyurethan coated, which would be even worse. No thanks. But I'll laways be on the lookout.
