Hi,

Looking for some suggestions on where to get some updated softparts for my Fett costume. I am looking to replace my flightsuit, its to "blue". If I wash it, I am affraid it will shrink to much. Also looking to replace the flack vest and my gloves. Any suggestions on where or who to buy from would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
If you want to get fancy or you have no budget/time frame you can always go with Clothears Costumes for flightsuit/vest.
 
+1 on Arkady, although if you have the loot and the time, Clothears stuff is as legit as it gets. For the gloves, you can go with Mike M as Sean suggested or you can go with Major. Both produce top-end gloves.

Have you tried bleach? If you haven't, I suggest giving that a try before dropping $400 on a clothear suit or any other suit. I had great luck bleaching a ESB suit to a very, very light blue to use as my RotJ flight suit

I agree with Kniveschau, try bleaching your blue suit before spending another $150-200. I initially dyed my suit and it came out too blue. I then bleached it to get the right shade of blue for my ESB build. Basically, use cold water. As the washer is filling up add 2-3 cap fulls of bleach (the bleach bottle cap, not a cup) and mix around well before add your suit. As the suit is washing, monitor it as the color comes off. Repeat if necessary. I did this process 2x. If you are concerned about the suit shrinking, it should not in cold water as long as you hang dry it. I actually intentionally dried it in the dryer on high to shrink it and it only did slightly. So I think you should be okay. Here is modification thread so you can see the color change:
