General body size vs armor size

Hello everyone, im new here to TDH and this is my first build. I have been reading around for an answer to my question but havnt found it yet.. I have been talking with Daz (bobamaker) about purchasing his armor(collar,chest,knees,back,cod,butt) after hearing many good remarks about everything he makes. My biggest concern is sizing. Im 6ft and about 185lbs.. so im not tiny, but not large.. however I have been reading that most boba armor are screen replicas with what is seen on film... and I read here that the actor was 5'10 and 160lbs.. should I worry about this? My biggest worry is collar/back width. I have broad shoulders (almost 19in) Does anyone know dimensions on bobafett armor? I would ask him personally but I figure he is a busy guy and dont want to keep pestering him with my concerns. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated
 
There is a size comparison thread I the costume section. Getting armor to fit your body size is a big deal, I know first hand I'm 6'4" and 245. I had a set of BM armor but sold it duentonitnbeing to small on me. I ended up goin with Fettprides v3 armor (I think that hat I got. It's been a while) because it's a bit bigger. I know RDK also makes armor that's on the bigger side. I would contact FP and RDK to see what they say about what would fit you better.
 
I appreciate the response Jc27! Ill check that thread out, yeah i've talked with RKD and he said that he is taking a break from making armor for a little while and I have tried contacting FP a few times but have got no response.. So I'm just keeping my eyes open for anything in my size.
 
Jc27, I've been reading up on this very issue. Was thinking about getting some bobamaker armor and have a question for you. I'm pretty much dead on 6 foot and about 215 but trying to slim down lol,. Do you think that BM armor would fit me? How small was it on you? Thanks!
 
I have Bobamaker armor from when he was doing fiberglass. I am 5'10 185 with more of a Jango build than a Boba build. But the Bobamaker armor fits me fairly well. I would think if you are at 6'00 it would probably fit you fine. With that said I don't know if his current product is the same size as his fiberglass.
 
Ahhhhh! Thanks for the clarification! Needless to say by the time I'm ready to buy armor, you'll probably have a version 5 out...haha!
 
I'm 5'10", 170. I had armor that was the size of RKD's V3 size. But I felt there was too much space between armor pieces, so I got his bigger V2 version. I'm much happier with the bigger size, even though I'm not a "bigger" guy.
