    you should be able to sit down and move comfortably in your suit....the problem with making suits is everyone is built different...its sounds to me like you need some length added to your torso area....
    ANother problem i run into alot is measurements being off..we add room to areas of the suit for bending stretching sitting etc... if its tight the measurements were probably off.....Please dont take that as its your fault thats not at all what im suggesting...I make mistakes as well it might have been my fault as well...what I would suggest is lmk what you think after you wear it a bit and if you feel you want that extra room id be more than happy to fix it for you...after all fett needs to sit and have a break and slop some grub...who wants to relax or eat standing up...

    thanks for the info. i'll wear it around the house after the holidays pass and touch base with you. if it's still seems tight and you could fix it that would be very very cool!!

    thanks again! Have a great holiday!

    This is why I bought my suit from SGB, even though mine was perfect he backs his work if theres a issue. Like he says if your unsure of your measurements have a taylor do it for you!

    I for one have nothing but good things to say about him. He is honest and straitforword about his casts and props. He backs them up and comunicates well. Now that I am seeing the vest and jupsuit he dose, I just may have to make some new purchases in the near future.

    Re: What's the best ESB jumpsuit out there

    Thanks for the Kudo's guys........We have done quite a few suits and for the most part there isnt any issues...I have no problem working with people as far as fitting issues go even if it ends up that you measured wrong....Also just a note if people need to get ahold of me its better to email me....for some reason ever since I got a new pc sometimes I cant access here easily...so pm's sometimes go un anawered for long periods of time......email is skygunbrojpw@yahoo.com thanks.

    Its the camera flash or lighting in the pics ...the fabric is not shiny...its 100% cotton prewashed pre-shrunk....does look shiny in some of the pics though no doubt about that...

    I got my suit today, and it is a bit tight. I probably measured wrong. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding on the suit and vest! Amazing attention to detail. If you are in doubt where to get a suit and vest, don't second guess SG. You will NOT be disappointed with his work! Best money I have spent on my rig to date.

    Shouldnt be tight........Could have been wrong measurements.... we take peoples measuremnts they send and add length specific areas to accomodate bending stretching sitting etc...if your having any of these issues lmk and we can work something out...Not trying to lay the blame on your measuring though.....I have no problems making adjustments...lmk if its ok and you think it will be ok or if you want some adjustments made..Thanks for the compliments-Jason

    Re: What's the best ESB jumpsuit out there

    I got my SGB suit and I love it. It seems just a tad too long in the arms, but when I get some gauntlets, that should take care of it. The suit fits like a glove, there is nothing like having it built just for you. It's worth the money to have the comfort, along with it looking right. Does anyone have a close pic of them wearing there suit and vest? I am trying to figure how tight the vest should be. I thought mine was just a little loose, it seems well in the chest and shoulders, but looser in the belly. Maybe thats the way it should be. Hard to tell till I get the armor mounted. Sigh..gotta sew on some velcro.

    My own SGB suit has been ordered, and I can't stress enough how GREAT the communication has been with SGB. He has gotten with me several times with questions on making my costume FOR ME.

    Definately not something cranked out and sloppy. I agree that for the price, and the quality of the work - SGB can't be beat.

    The vest should fit fairly snug but not to constrictive....as your baody and the vest material should support the armor...One tip if you feel it is to loose in the belly area you can move the velcro over or simply sew on another strip beside the one we put on to allow you to pull the vest tighter.....hope that helps
