I don't know if their fabric does or not since I sent my 'first' suit back. The fabric I sent them did not shrink when I washed it, but I have no clue as to what it is other than a blend of something (pretty techincal term, eh?). Email them and ask what the blend is. I believe it is the same as the cape which I did wash and it didn't shrink (or if it did, it wasn't noticable).

Duh. Your post did say you used your own material. My mistake. Even a slight bit of shrinkage would be noticeable on my suit. I'll just have to wash it and see. Thanks.

Ok... no Prop Palace... I'm doing it myself. i do have a question though ( I seem to have alot of those lately ). I'm in Kentucky and plan on being in New Orleans or Nashville on Halloween. Its still hot, or at least humid around that time of year. Should I go with a lighter material? If so, what should I be looking for? And color? Is it a grey or a blue? I'm a tad colorblind.

Thanks

If your doing it yourself, just buy a cotton material, it will "Breath" which helps keep you cool, and you can dye it any color you want. You can dye it in a washing machine (recomended for even color) or in a bath tub.

The ESB suit is steel blue, and the ROTJ suit is light gray.

Prop Palace jumpsuit

Just curious, have any of you guys bought a Boba jumpsuit, or any other Fett parts from "The Prop Palace". I am wondering if their stuff is good for the prices they charge?

I have one of their jumpsuits. Unless they have recently changed fabric selections, send them your own fabric to use. The two choices they used to have are olive drab and light blue. Other than the colors, the overall quality was good. Here's mine.

As for the rest of there stuff, you will find much better options from board members than you will there.

Their quality seems lackluster from what I've read on here (do a search for prop palace), but I'd suggest going elsewhere since they're reputed kiddie porn enthusiasts.

really? they seem like some twisted little monkeys.

well, i guess they did change the fabric, because they now make boba and jango jumpsuits out of denim.

and i did notice their other items were kinda cruddy and probably wouldnt bye anything other than the jumpsuit, gloves, or belt

i will look into it more to see what others on the board think of them.

I was kinda considering some of their items, but when I heard the child porn allegations, I said no way. And I'm always surprised that it's not more of an issue for people on here, and in general. You hear about someone who has exploited a child, basically broken them, and used them, profited from it, or even enjoyed some kinda twisted stimulation from it...and no one acts like it's horrible. So...sorry man, but if you aren't convinced to not do business with them simply from that, then...perhaps you should take a look at that.

For that porn reason ALONE, I would never give them any of my business. Anyone involved in that should have a price on THEIR head! :angry

Ughh, forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but I'm pretty sure that rumor has been unsubstantiated and put to rest on the RPF. Pretty intense research was done and there is no proof that Thomas Scheuer has anything to do with The Prop Palace. If someone can prove otherwise, please post the info here.

Trust me when I say that you won't find a bigger hater of scumbags who exploit children than me, but I hate seeing anyone blamed for anything their aren't guilty of either.

Don't get me wrong, if these accusations are indeed true, then I too will have nothing to do with them.

I have asked prop palace a lot of questions the first being if I could get custom colors and how much extra would it cost. They told me it would be no problem and it would be no extra cost. So you can probably get the jumpsuit in any color you want. As for the porn thing I had no idea until a few months ago when someone told me but it is a big Internet with lots and lots of people in it and would be pretty easy to start a rummer like that so who knows if it is really true or not. The fact is you should not believe everything that you here on the net. But if it were true I don't think that they would be in business any longer.Atleast i hope they wouldent be.

I have never bought any of there Fett stuff but I did get my Vader cape and cloak from them. It might not be 100% accurate but the quality is very nice and I got it ahead of schedule. I am very pleased with it and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

To buy from them or not to buy from them, that is the question.

I would ask them to email you a picture of their material to be safe in the event they have not changed their material selections. Add three to four inches to each measurement you give them so that your suit isn't skin tight. If you have 14" biceps, tell them to make them 18" or else they will make them exactly 14" (the mistake I made on the first jumpsuit). As for their workmanship, I have had my suit for over a year, worn it about a dozen times, washed it, dried it, and no threads have come loose yet.

To send them five yards of my material, it costs me around $30 (remember, they are in the Philippines). The turn around time was almost three months, maybe two and a half. So if you are wanting them to use your fabric, be prepared to wait.

For my next jumpsuit project, I am going to find someone a little closer, like Oklahoma.
