New MoW Gear in 2013

Those boots, look FANTASTIC Christian !!! :eek:

It all does, but wow man? Those boots ! lol

Yeah........ those boots...........

Everything looks great. I will most likely be getting those boots and probably the gloves too.

Great stuff as always Christian. Makes me wish I had waited a little longer for the boots.

Christian you no good son of a........ Now i want THOSE boots!!!! ugh! lol

yeah

the boots man!! and gloves!!

Christian, Great stuff, as always. As soon as those gloves are available, you can put me down for two pair of size medium ESB. I have your jetpack, gauntlets, and boots. You are prompt and the workmanship on your items is always top notch.

Looks awesome.

What do the boots sell for?

Yea def in for the boots...even though i JUST got a pair of the current ones DOH! *facepalm*

ChrisTheArtist, i messaged MOW and he said the boots should be around the $150-$160 mark like his previous ones were. He's shooting for Mid March release. I am SO in for these lol.

Those boots look great (I like that they are squared at the toe to support toe spikes). Better start making a wish list.

How do the boots compare size-wise to your last ones? I own a pair of 11s which are JUUUUUUUST a smidge too tight to wear comfortably so wondering if the 11.5 will be good.

As stated the new toe is 4" wide which widens the boot from the arch forward leading to the toe making it much more comfortable. Also I've increased the sizes by half a size more to accommodate the flat toe. Sizes (9.5-10.5-11.5-12.5) Hope this helps.

Yup. Looks mighty tempting. Think I'll have to order a pair myself in March.

I think the ESB gloves are fantastic looking, and you can put me down for two pairs as soon as they are available. Not to go off topic, but am I the only one who thinks the quilted "reinforcements" on the fingers and back of the hand appear to have a sheen like the tackle twill used for the vest? Thoughts?

Those boots are gorgeous! When the ROTJ gloves are ready, I'll be looking to you!

I agree with this, and based on that photo it looks like MOW has nailed that aspect. Christian, any idea on the price point of the gloves?

I really need to call them "variant" gloves...Producing a large run of movie accurate gloves is nearly impossible due to all the hand sewn quilting that goes into them. I finally was able to get them made but only to today's specifications meaning the entire glove needs to be machined including all the quilting during assembly. They're done by professionals so the craftsmanship is excellent. The end result is a modern version of the classic Boba glove. The ESB's are ready for production but we're still working on the proper color for the RoTJ's. I'm very pleased with the variant design and I hope collectors will respond well to them even though they're not exactly movie accurate?

I'm in for a pair of ROTJ whenever you have them ready. These variant gloves should be great for trooping! They look really nice and a lot thicker than the ones I have now. Your whole 2013 line looks awesome, especially the boots. I got in a pair of your ROTJ gauntlets the other day, I can't wait to start on those.

I just realized the boots are also twill...Christian, like FP said..you nailed it bro! I need to clean all this drool off my keyboard now!

I saw you said you made them a half size bigger to accommodate for the flat toe. My old MOW boots were a 10, and just fit me. Since im 5'7" i like to add lifts to get me another inch or 2 inside the boot, which didnt work with the 10's so i picked up the 11's and those are perfect with the lifts. With these new ones do you think i should go back to maybe the 10.5 or maybe just stick with the 11 to be safe?

I'll be needing some of those

On that note, what are the odds of getting them colored as pictured?


Also, have you thought about molding a pair of your new boots in , say, Jeremy's size and making block castings available to folks for their display mannequins? Maybe even roto hollow? The roto hollow could be split at the back to slip over mannequin feet. I'd be all over that too !

Food for thought.

Chris,

That's a very innovative idea...something to think about? Thanks!

Interested in boots and gloves. Ok, I'm really interested in everything!

MM,

I plane to offer the gloves around $120.00 per pair. Thanks for asking.

DV,

I'd take advantage of the half sizes and get the 10.5's

+1. I would be interested if offered as the picture, I'm gonna buy them anyway, but interested in that color scheme

Finally some boots that are made in all white, as we all know the real ones started as all white, then were painted,
When will you be selling them

Any chance youl do the gloves in white as well,

(For those who want to build a total movie accurate suit and intend to dye them them selfs)

A white belt an ill go the trifector from you

Awesome work MOW! Everything looks great. I will be waiting patiently for the release dates.

Those boots are incredible looking, great job on that! All the soft parts look outstanding as well

Looks like exactly the right time to start with my ROTJ Boba. I`ll get a pair of these great boots for sure!

Nice work. Might be getting a pair of these boots.

Christian, those boots are awesome an do hope your prepared for the onslaught of orders, me included.

Those boots are beautiful. I was just starting to research where to get a pair...looks like my question is answered!

Man if only I had waited on my boot order...looks ike a new purchase in my future. Those are indeed some beautiful boots

Hey Christian, you already know I love those boots

Quick question though.. my shoe size floats between 12.5 and 13. More on the 13 size usually. Will the 12.5s be okay?

Wes, I don't know how to answer this one I wear a size 11.5 so I have no real reference? The boots will be exact sizes so it's a stretch...Literally!

Will the ESB gloves have the different size patches on the back of each hand?

Wow Every thing looks very well done there,but i got to get a pair of ESB boots and gloves when they are ready

Yes Major they will

That's awesome....on both counts :-)

Christian, how durable do you expect the gloves to be? I seem to blow through the fingers (the non-quilted parts) of the pairs I've had, and they only last a few troops before needing to have the holes stitched up. Are you using the same thin stretchy parade-glove material?

pre-paid for a set of boots!

SkyMiner, I've held some of the lesser quality parade gloves and there's a noticeable difference between them and say a better quality parade glove no question. My gloves will be made of good quality fabric but they will be very similar to a traditional parade glove in keeping with movie accuracy. I'm not sure what your alternative would be here?? How do you go through a pair of gloves during trooping

Holes just magically appear, generally in the fingers. I don't think I'm overly hard on them (no knife juggling or the likes), but I can't go a few troops without a hole appearing!

Hey Guys,

Just got word the esb gloves are completed and will be in shop next week. The rotj's will be done in a day or 2 as well. photos coming!



Picture is a little dark but you get the idea.

Interest in all!

Could we get close up pics of the material used? They look good from the first pics but almost dont look like the parade glove material

These gloves look A W E S O M E Christian great work, I have quite large hands 8 inches from the tip of my middle finger to my wrist and across my palm 4 inches above my thumb, if they are are I am interested in getting some as my gloves after Trooping since 2010 are starting to look a little threadbare.

The gloves are all medium/large..Good amount of room and finger length. You can also shrink them some with hot water if need be?

How much for the ESB gloves and the new boots?

pm sent..

Any chance of PrePro gloves?

I want in on one of the first shipments of ROTJ gloves!! They are beautiful, lol! My money is ready!

Hey Guys,

Got word the gloves will arrive today or tomorrow..Pictures soon.

Good stuff....PM me a price on them and boots poossibly, not sure if two sets of boots is a good thing or not....

Hey Guys,

Here's photos of the new gloves.

Drool......

How much are the vests?

hmm nice boots..I wear a 8.5 but wear 9 some time any chance of a size 9?

Got my MOW 2013 flak jacket last week, it looks fantastic! Super easy to adjust and apply, as well. Really nice work. Looking forward to receiving the MOW 2013 boots as soon as they come through.

Chris - you mentioned that someone might be making toe spikes for the new boots, any official word on that yet?

MoJo is doing them I had spoke to him about that as soon as i saw this post, and he said he was already on it

Awesome, thanks, DV!

Hey Guys,

Sorry I'm late with this update.. I'm being told the boots will be ready by the end of this month. I should have more details to share any day now. I was also recently shown Gav's designs for his new Mojo-Fett toe spikes made especially for the new 2013 boots. I'm really looking forward to seeing the two come together.

Thanks again for everyones patience and support.

Best,
Christian

Hey Guys,

Well it's April 1st and I don't have anything new to report I hope to hear something later in the week. Thank you for your patience.

Best,
Christian

How much will the boots run ?

PM sent

dAAAAAAAng...OK I need these...but have like a basically brand new pair of the last version. What to do.

Dom, what size do you wear?

Eleven...I modded my MOW boots ground the sole down flat, and ground down the \_/ on the front....

NICE! I'm ordering a pair of those boots in a few days... they look BEAUTIFUL. I'm hoping to get a set of gloves soon too, if I can get some sales in order. But those boots are a MUST.

Wow. Those boots are perfect. Nice job there!

Thanks for posting that, very helpful. I've used a lot of these techniques on my figures, so I'm very familiar with it.

Christian, those look fantastic! Glad I got in under the wire on the pre-order. Very nice work as always!

Christian, Gloves Received...thanks so much! they fit me perfectly! Awesome quality just like your other gear!

Thanks so much for your kind words and support guys I really appreciate it... Enjoy!

PM sent :-)

Any update on the boots? Did you receive them yet?

Not yet, I have a set coming via Ebay but no shipment yet. I would think maybe a week or two, they are supposed to come in sometime in April. My weathering tools are anxiously awaiting them though.

Actually, that question was meant for Christian. I should have specified.

Hey Guys,

Here's the latests...Seems the boots were held up in customs last week. They were cleared and are scheduled to arrive in shop Thursday the 18th. I'll be shipping them out as soon as they arrive. I'm sorry for the delays guys. Thanks again for your patience. Best, Christian
