Tutorial for X-wing Pilot flightsuit ?

[James Kenobi 1138]

I have one of the Sportsmans Guide orange overall flightsuits.

I remember seeing a tutorial for converting it from inaccurate to accurate, using fabric in the leg area (hidden by your boots) to fix the collar, flare holders and map pocket.

I want to say JediXXL made the tutorial ?

I've searched the Rebel Leigon and the RPF, plus google, and I can't seem to find it.

Could anyone point me in the right direction ? I'm hoping to have a seamstress get my flightsuit up and running.

This one? X-Wing Outfit Modifications

Yes, I think that is the one. A million thanks !

The "greyjedi" modifications are out of date. The right arm pocket is required under the current Rebel Legion standards"

Rebel Legion - Costuming Standards - Rebel Pilot Costume Standards

Do you intend to eventually apply for Rebel Legion approval?

Probably not. I've been a member since 2005 with some Jedi costumes and did some official RL events many years ago, but mostly I dress up for Cons.

I've been dressing as Vader for years and even done a few events but I'm not part of the 501st. My costumes are usually about 98% accurate and it's that last 2% that keeps out of the RL and the 501st. Since I only do local stuff and I've got friends in both groups I'll tag along if I can. With my work schedule (I work night and weekends) I can rarely make events anyway.

No worries. Just a variation on the "Measure twice, cut once" rule.
