I need a flight suit supplier

Ill be sure to post plenty of pics when my suit arrives, I also finally got a reply from ladysewforus, unfortunately her 6 month turn around is a bit of a turn off, but then if she's that busy her stuff must be good lol.

I think my BM suit took nearly five months or so. Not that I mind. The communication was great from Daz and I always knew this was going to be a long project. Actually I'm kind of glad of the lengthy turnaround times as it allows me to space out the cost, which is going to be high for a decent set up.
 
Slave1pilot, looking good! bet you cant wait! and intwenonthor I completely understand, but if all goes to plan, I hope on attending Star Wars celebration VI in Orlando Fl, so waiting 6 months on my suit is cutting it a bit close, if you know what i mean, but by all means Im glad each and every one of you support your chosen tailors! I have contacted most of them (if not every one) myself, and I now how a shopping selection and better knowledge of where to go when I do need soft parts/ or sewing, so I thank you all! I too eagerly await my flightsuit and vest and hope its as good as advertised, and will post a full line up of pics.
 
the write up said two peice with all the pouches and spats included, that works for me, itll make bathroom breaks easier.
 
My soft parts from crazy4bobafett arrived today, here are some pics to show the awesomeness.

i have them on the mannequin for placement, they still need weathering etc.

If you are looking for a flightsuit, you owe it to yourselves to contact her.

Yeah, a lot of the suppliers do the suits in white cotton that has to be dyed. I figured what the hell, it adds to the fun lol. After washing it the blue-ish came out and I got a wonderful ROTJ light grey out of it.
 
I posted my finished (dyed, dryed and washed) pics on my other thread showing the faded light grey I was hoping for, hopefully this weekend Ill be able to get to weathering it and giving it that used dirty look, Ill post the pics on both and my other thread. So far Im very pleased with the outcome.
 
Here's what Ive ended up with, the light faded grey (my wife even says it looks like a faded blue-ish to her, Score!) And my weathering so far using BlackCatBone's technique of dye in a spray bottle with a little mist of spray paint. Im keeping it a little on the light side for now until I can get it all put together to see how it looks, but from all the movie stills Ive researched, the weathering was pretty light to begin with, but we'll see in the future.
