I'm about 2 hours away in Winston - so not exactly Fayetteville area. If you hear of any Fett-themed gatherings nearby, drop me a line. I won't have my ESB set ready until Halloween, but have been bitten by the scratchbuilding bug and lurk on the boards once a week or so. Seems like some folks from California have a good local community - getting one going on the other coast could be fun.
On topic, I bought a ton of sky blue cloth for my soft parts that (barring drastic accident with the sewing machine) I won't need all of. I've already put together the utility/thigh pouches for myself and was very glad with how they turned out. IF you have an ESB Boba in mind AND IF you can wait until after my mad rush to Halloween ends, I would be glad to sew up some pouches for you at a deep military discount. I might also be persuaded to look for a different cloth color if you had ROTJ or another variant in mind. Always glad to help those in the service.
