So, no RPF love for the new pilot, Poe Dameron?

I thoght the po-zu mens boots went up to a mens 13.

All the charts I've seen over the years give it as a size-and-a-half difference, so a women's 11 would ostensibly be a men's 9.5. But like you said, depending on fit... If there is no men's boot with the low-rise upper, we could maybe take this to mean they run large -- up to a half size -- or maybe they squished Oscar into them a la Peter Cushing and his riding boots in ANH. Depending on how they're built, I can squeeze reasonably comfortably into a full size smaller than my ideal.

My real point was: Given the variables involved, Oscar definitely could be wearing the women's boot in that and other images where he appears to have the low-rise version, and there could easily not be a men's equivalent out there to keep looking for.

Very true. It's so dependent on the fit. I've generally found a pretty standard 2-size difference for myself but in women's sizing I've worn everything from a 6.5 to an 8 depending on the fit so I can absolutely see that there would be an equal variance between men's and women's sizing (especially because men's shoes are generally made wider than women's). It makes online shoe shopping very hard!

Is there a pattern for the flight suit and flak vest?

 

[Strongbow]

Not yet, that I know of. Most of us have eithet modified a commercial pattern for the suit, or patterned off off of one that fits. I made my vest pattern using an ols shirt that fit. I sketched the shapes i needed on it, cut it apart and made a pattern.

So, i got a few belts and buckles for my harness, and used the vinegar and salt trick to remove the finish.

What is the best way to get the shine back on the buckles?

I have been using a black ink(games workshop Nuln Oil) wash an just sponging it off. So far it looks pretty good.

If anyone working on the flight suit is still looking for fabric to make his vest, I just got some of this taslan nylon from Mood and it's awesome.

Finished my Rocketeer/Reelprops helmet. Posted some shots here:

Search flashback props on Facebook. I seen him doing some work on one. I'm guessing he's done by now. I got a boba helmet off him earlier this year and it was spot on!

There is some nice work there, but the visor housing has significant inaccuracies. What he has there is an SPH-3 visor housing, which is similar but not the same. Early on I got one and and was attempting to modify it. You can get close to the right shape, but not quite. Still, it ain't terrible.

Apologies if this was covered earlier in the thread, but have any alternatives for the gloves been found? Last I heard the original source was unavailable. Thanks.

I believe WampaWear has both styles... split thumb pad and single thumb pad.

You are most welcome.

BTW, I don't think they are listed on his regular website, but go to his FB page and look for the post from February 17th. You'll see pics and prices: https://www.facebook.com/www.wampawear/?fref=ts

Hello All, have been following this thread with interest and have started plodding away on my own costume. Have found one of the glove variants that were being looked at earlier on the ebay and thought I would share (after grabbing a pair for myself).

Just got an email alert today that the Po-Zu Well 2 Black boots are back in stock! So if you still need those to complete the Jakku flight jacket costume, now's the time.
