I'm building my own Jango Flight suit. (save on some costs) I was wondering what everyone thought of the color. I like the postal blue, I know some people go more "electric" blue or bluprle. A lot of reference shots I see are with either of the two colors, I'm leaning more toward postal blue. I'm soliciting feed back from the panel of expert judges. Thanks!!! Pics attached.

I think the color looks great man. After a recent troop, I got to look through this book:

Amazon.com: Star Wars Chronicles: The Prequels (9780811847353): Stephen J. Sansweet, Pablo Hidalgo: Books

I saw some photographs that made me doubt 100% that the "blurple" is the "correct" color for the flight suit. There must have been several different flight suits Jango used. I don't know any more so go with what you like.

And be sure to dirty up those gaunts

Those Gauntlets came in today.. I LOVE EM'. Cruzer gauntlets. Everything will be weathered in time. I'm currently sewing on the "double sleeve" to tuck the gaunt tubes in. Thank you for the feedback and I will see if I can download that book!

the 501st state that Slate blue and the blue-purple(blurple) are acceptable..... and i, like Ribann think the blue is the better choice. my flightsuit is pretty much the same colour as yours.... but once you get it all weathered(mine is) it darkens it a bit also

Hey Tommy, looks like the same suit as mine... color looks pretty good, and if your happy, then that's what matters

If you want any tips on what I did (weathering and dyeing), let me know

I could definitely use the weathering tips. I was just planning to arena fight in it, come out weathered... Hopefully with my head intact.
