I am aware that the Black Series helmet is accepted by the 501st because it is the only helmet currently available. We haven't even received the Anovos yet. However as the title states, this is NOT THE CHEAP WAY of building a Kylo Ren Cosplay.I bet an updated Black Series Kylo helmet is also ok for the 501st and will look better as the Anovos from painting.
And its only 70$.

I personally have found the imperial boots to be better. They did a great job concealing the tie up down the front. I didn't even know it was there until further inspection. the front if very securely Velcro on and the boots are immaculate.

Awesome! Looking forward to getting mine as well! I too ordered the Endorfinders gloves. Lots of comparing done as well and found these two items to be the "best" in their class.
This kind of mirrors what I've seen too in pictures and such. I will be ordering the Imperial Boots boots as well once their new website comes up.

On the belt clip PH Props recommends the JJ Industries belt clip if you want a functional one. So, I guess that settles that. lol

Got my PH Props belt and buckle ordered as well as the JJ Industries saber clip. Done a lot of digging around and found these two places to be the "best" in their class as well. I haven't seen anyone besides JJ that's doing a functional clip and the PH Props belt and buckle (and clip) look beautiful as well. Haven't seen anything yet that rivals the quality of these two items.
EDIT: Just placed my order for the soft parts from Katja as well. From what I've seen her costume blows away all the others out there, especially because it's the correct fabric to match the movie costume if you go with the Tier 3 501st setup!

So far I've got on order:
CreativeArtShop's geniune leather neck seal in size 37cm (expected around end of March)
Endorfinders Gloves V2 in medium Run #5 (expected around end of March)
PHProps belt and buckle in medium (no clip) (expected around middle of March)
JJ Industries functional light saber clip Run #3 (expected around middle of March)
Imperial Boots K.Boots Version 5 in US 10.5 (expected around end of March)
Akademiks Men's Robertson black waxed denim jeans 32W X 32L (expected on 2/22)
KatjaVonDesigns surcoat, midcoat, robe, and cape/cowl/hood in custom measurements with Tier 3 501st Certification specs (no belt) (expected end of March)
I've already got the Black Series helmet in my possession and will be starting to modify it soon.
I'm very glad you put this list together. Although it's not the cheapest way to build this costume, the parts, IMO, are probably the best quality and screen accuracy you can get.

Its its almost the same as my build.
When did you order from Katja?
I haven't heard from her for quite some time.

Order went in about a week ago. Obviously she's busy with her builds, but it seems every couple days she's able to get back to me about stuff. I just put the order in and asked her the lead time. She said it should be done around the end of March. I'll probably send her another message in a week or so just to see if it's still on track.

There's a good chance she's underway with your project at this point. I know she mentioned her father in law passed away last week so she had been busy dealing with that. I've found as with any custom item it takes time, most of the time longer than you want it to take which I why I don't plan on wearing mine for another 2.5 months from now. Since the rest of the pieces won't be here until then I'm not too stressed about it right now, but will keep a careful eye on it.
