All I ask is that if we ever run into each other at a convention and you are wearing your Fett, introduce yourself. Of course if you wanted to buy me a drink, too, I wouldn't decline.
Hey Chris,
Just wanted to let you know the fabric arrived today. I almost tripped over it on my front porch when I opened the door. LOL
Thanks so much!!!!
Christi
It looks as though all the orders I sent have been received, including all the material shipped to batninja. I look forward to seeing a lot of kick ass vests at cons this summer.
I'm fairly new here and also inexperienced in building/creating movie quality armor etc-which is the look I'm after btw...I'm not going to be doing a Boba or Jango, I'll be doing a custom Mandalorian and will be mixing and matching armor all over the place. My question is, where would I find black heavy duty fabric that would be suitable for making a vest to hold the extra weight of fiberglass chest/back armor down to the lower back...I also wanted to try something I saw a photo of. The vest had two "shoulder pads" which the shoulder armor snaps onto. It gave the armor a more broad shouldered, more intimidating position and I'd like to try that with my vest also. Any thoughts?
I'm starting a Boba Fett and I would like to order your fabric and have it shipped to "batninja". How much does it cost including the fabric and the service by batninja?
Who should I send my measurements to?
Also do you have the exact measurements for "Jeremy Bulloch" sized accurate Boba Fett?

It's called tackletwill, used for lettering on sports jerseys. There have several attempts to find retail outlets for the material, with no luck. If you do find one, please share the information! Good luck!

Well, the problem is that you're a major sports-jersey manufacturer (think Adidas, Nike, Russell), you're not going to find a source willing to sell just a few yards. The minimum order for the bulk sale was FIFTY yards (@ $16 a yard).
So unless you're willing to throw down a few hundred bucks, you're not going to find this stuff on the open market. Like I mentioned, a few of us have already tried the method you're attempting, with no success.
OOOOOHHHH Big G! Cool, I'm sure you can get a new list going if your serious Like Batninja was sayn they only want volume, but yeah, I have one of these vest and I have to say it is by far the best I've seen yet (and I've seen quite a few) However your new, so what reassurance do people have that your a honest resource? (just a question):rolleyes
