Thanks! Well, I owe you one! :cheers

You going to D*C next year?
 
thats the plan...I'll be joining jose and crew in the 300DC08 group! also not too sure if ill be taking any star wars costumes next year...maybe Jango but doubtful..I'll have my Indy, punisher and spartan stuff most likely
 
last call! will be ordering tomorrow...if i can't fill the last spots I will probably not buy material for them as im running short myself...

if your on the list your all set, whitearmor, still have not heard back from you as a definate.
 
I'm still good to go on this JD. (y)

I get paid on the 12th and will begin the transfer to my Paypal that night. You'll have the full payment from me before the deadline.

Thanks again for offering these, you've certainly made my Christmas, though my wife could find other things to spend the funds on. ;)
 
so i got the samples in today and the grenada looks a bit too red to me in person. it's on cord so its hard to gauge how it will take and look on braided bolo. I think it will look less red as it wears on the belt as braided material, but i still think the burgundy color in it is a good match. They sent me some other colors as well so I'll post them in the am and you all can tell me what you think. I'll take them outside in natural light and try and show them as close to real as possible. working now.
 
your advise is always welcome!...my intention is to get these super close to accurate in color no matter what ive got to do. The sales guy says they will do the best they can to get it as close as possible to the color. He sent me an antiqued brown braided bolo sample that looks really close too...I'll post the options in the am...
 
so here is the samples they sent me....i tried to teak them a bit in photshop to make them represent the color they are as close a spoccible. I know monitors are not the same and display colors a bit different at times, but they look very close on my monitor so i can do is hopr they are truly represented on yours...

turkey red (a bit light i think)

granada

in person I'm thinking on the cord it appears too burgundy, but again, not sure what would happen on a braided piece as it has it's natural highs and lows and varied sides of the leather that will dye a bit different. It also seems like the original is much darker in natural light and seems to fit this color.

cordora red (which i think is way too red)

antiqued brown (which i think i really like.)

This isnt the braided bolo we would be getting, wrong size and ply, just sent to show a color he suggested a sbeing close to the picture i sent.

here is an adjusted photo for comparison. I tweaked this in photoshop to get the pouches to more accuratly represent the true color, thus fixing the braided bolo as well so you could make your comments based on natural lighting the best possible way. given this photo the granada still looks to be the best choice. I'm sure it will fluctuate a bit once the bolo is weathered a bit as well.

I'll just state that I'm simply going to trust your judgement JD. I don't have anything physical to base any comparissons from, so my gut instinct tells me to trust you. ;)
 
I'll also add that after seeing what you've accomplished so far on your Jango, and the awesome work you did on your wifes Zam, that I have no reservations or hesitations with trusting your intincts/skills.
 
i appreciate that guys and i will do everything in my power to match it as exact as i can. Im sure after the weathering and the asembly it will be able to be tweaked a bit if needed...
 
bolo has been ordered and they said it will be delivered on 1/28 so i should have the belts done sometime in feb. I had hoped they could get it made quicker but i guess whereas its a special order it takes more time...I'll keep you posted
 
JD, the funds are currently being transfered to my Paypal account so I'll be able to send you my full payment by next Saturday. (y)
