Having some trouble with the zipper creeping up. Do you guys just velcro your vest to your harness/flightsuit or something (to hide the zipper)?

Here a pic of what I'm talking about:

Maybe I didn't do something right because it was around 1am when I finally finished and I was tired. Any suggestions? (sorry for the trippy picture)

You have the chest piece and range finder on the wrong side.

Just kidding.

In my jumpsuit, I have one of those sewn in snaps. So it doesnt show cuz its underneath.

Wow, nice! I'll have to play around with it to get it to work correctly. Right now, still trying to get the right color on the flightsuit

So I suited up 100% today with the help of my gf. After looking at the pictures, I must say it looks differently than what I had in my mind. I see things I need to tweak (e.g. change the color of the flight suit). I suppose I can't be that hard on myself seeing as this was the first time for me to put it on. I did forget to snap the jetpack harness to the cod piece, which might account for the large gap between the girth and ab armor. Still don't really know what I'm going to do about the collar area.

Gimme feeback. What needs to change? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm certainly no expert, the one thing to me that stands out (aside from what you mentioned already) is the thighs may need to be placed more to the center. To me, and it's only my opinion, is that they are too far off to the side.


Looks awesome, though! I can't wait to do the same thing!

I love it! I know it's not a big thing but, in my opinion, the jumpsuit could be faded out a little more. Maybe if you weather it with grey dye or something to tone it down but totally up to you man. As it stands, it's a really great get up!

I definitely agree on both counts

I will fix the thighs and fade the jumpsuit more.

Any more fixes?

Yeah, the whole thing just stinks....you should pack it up and send it all to me so you can start over

Just kidding, it looks great! Again, I'm no expert, but I don't notice anything else. I'm sure some of the Jango veterans can help much more than I!

Did Jango have a thong strap thing like Boba for the cod and butt plate?

Wow, fantastic. I'll be happy if mine comes out half as good as yours. I do think the Jet Pack is supposed sit a little higher up, but then again... what do I know?

Can I ask what you are wearing underneath the helmet? It looks like you didn't go with a skirt. (I'm not going with a skirt, after reading about all the complaints about heat / oxygen)

I definitly like a bit more purple to the FS, and some fading. The girth needs to come up for sure. The jetpack needs to come up several inches. Think about the fact that you wouldn't want the jets firing off on your backside. If you bring it up much higher on the backplate it will sit more up and down with your back.

And there is no Jango thong, that is only a Boba thing.

Thank you. You are right about the jetpack sitting up a bit higher. I forgot to attach the front elastic straps of Seeker's harness to my cod piece, which would lift up the girth and the jetpack.

I bought a painter's hood at a local hardware store and dyed it. It isn't too hot. I had one of my good friends make the skirt, but I could barely breathe after installing it. I'm going to be sweating enough as it is, so I need the air circulation to my face

Sounds good When I suit up again I'll make these changes. I guess I just make a bleach water solution and dip the flight suit in it?

instead of dipping it, put the bleach solution in a spray bottle. Hang the flight suit up and mist it. Then wash it to get the bleach to stop. Repeat this until you hit the tone that you want. I did this with about a 10 to 1 mix of water to bleach and it worked well.

Thanks Dynamic

So I started to adjust the things I needed to adjust:

1) Move thighs more inward (easy fix)
2) Move girth higher to close the gap between ab armor
3) Change flight suit color (not an easy fix)

By the way, I am almost 6'1". I notice that Temuera Morrison was around 5'7". Is there anything you tall Jangos do to work out the proportions? I notice my neck really sticks out, and that partly due to my height. I notice a lot of the Jango around here have their helmet pretty flush with their collar armor.

I do have a big head. Perhaps an Asok CC isn't the right helmet for me? Maybe I need something bigger?

Thanks again everyone for the feedback.
