Interest ESB functional belt

since you have decided to make them out of leather instead of vinyl, I would be interested. What kind of price range are you looking at? Cant wait to see a sample.

Hello!

I am interested, too. If you´d ship to Germany.

Sounds good, can't wait to see pictures. I'm interested.

Very interested, please drop me an email once completed!

Definately interested in a REAL belt, especially one that does NOT use a velcro closure.

So far so good, keep it up, and keep us updated.

Any News?

If the belt is made of leather, and if it´s really ESB screen accurate, I want it .

Let us know the progress...

P.S. if this project doesnt end well, I know a professional leathercraft man who can do it easyly...

Looks good, I'd be interested if the price is right.

What quality of leather are you looking at?
Given that most of Fett's stuff is battle damaged you could probably get away with using 'columbo hides' which are cheaper cuts on account of being 'flawed'.
It also comes un-dyed so you can dye it yourself.
Lookin at the pics I've seen a 'Mid-Brown' is probalby the color used.

If you're in the UK look at www.leprevo.co.uk
I make a fair amount of leather stuff (holsters, helms, armour etc...) and find them to be very helpful and reasonably priced.

ya i have found out where to get most of the stuff i need. belt blanks dyes ect. i just gota get the right textured leather & some stuff to mekem shiney. but all i really gota do is buy the stuff & get it here so you guys can see a finnished belt. im constantly making little changes to the pouches thats sorta why its taken so long. other than that i should have a belt done at latest by mid febuary

Great... can't wait to see it!

Lookin' forward to some progress and completed pics BFS1.

Just a little update. Im buying alot of supplys today and expect them to arive sometime within the next week & a half i hope. most of its being shiped by ground so it could end up in japan before it gets to my place for all i know. Also because alot of you guys do ROTJ suits ive desided i shal also be doing ROTJ ammo belts if enough people are interested in one. they will be alittle bit brighter then the ESB belts & will have alot less shine to them. so once again if you are interested in getting a belt plz post what belt you are interested in here or PM me. also i expect the price range to be about $85-90 for these. the price is high because of the price of leather & time involved but i promise to do my damndest to get as close to film accuracy as possible.
thanks again,
Dana
PS im not 100% sure on weather id do this or not but tell me if you guys are interested in this plan---->. Im thinking of adding the hip pouches to the belts so ya get more for your money. they would be that dark greyishblue for ESB & that tan kakie for the ROTJ.

UPDATE 2/3/06


Got everything tday. & in the words of Theoden king of rohan. ''So it beggins'''

Yikes!!! thats alot of work. let me get this one done & then ill see what i can do for ya

Just ignore him... I think it's for his mando-army of the nucular future, blah, blah...

All that aside, if you can make a real leather functional screen accurate ESB belt for less than $100, I'd be down for one... just PM the details.

His website is weird....reminds me of like a combination of nazis and the kkk. Except not racist. Just a groups of non-existant nerd-guerillas. AND, look at the picture of Boba Fett on the left. Look familiar? It's TK409.

It's not TK409. I got it from one of my associates. So if they copied his picture then maybe it is. I"ll have to compare it. Dont want any copyright violations now do we.

And my order of belts is for a costume project.

Um,...yes, it is.

Maybe before denying it outright, some research may be in order. You may also want to get Chris' permission before adding his photo to a site about a questionable paramilitary organization.

Does that mean TK409 is a High Clam Lord

anyway.... geting back on track. ill have some pics of the acctual belt w/o the pouches this weekend.

Any progress?
