BBF's SE Boba Fett

woodman, theretroclarinet, pigeonfarmboy:

Thanks gents !!!

Ha ha, Yea I did make a mistake saying finished, but it had nothing to do with the pinch. That's a feature of a numbered MR Replica that stays. I'll be throwing out the SE association as soon as I get my FettPride helmet :D. Besides, I don't think the suit will ever be "finished".

Cheers, Brothers !!!
 
Can I ask what mods your tailor made to the Cucblack flightsuit? Mine just arrived and I was pretty happy with it until I read your post. Would love to know how to make it a little more accurate.

Thanks a lot, brothers. I really appreciate it. :)

Well, the shoulders were about 5 inches too wide, the crotch was 4 inched too low and was general way too big. Basically, the tailor dissembled, re-cut and reassembled the suit. After that, I took two inches out of the diameter of the sleeves, from shoulder to wrist. I also had to add material to the bottom of the legs, which were made too short after the crotch was lifted. The vest was again, about 5 inches too wide and was also dissembled, re-cut and reassembled by the tailor. I then narrowed it further to be more form fitting and shortened up the vest about 2 inches.

Cheers
 
Sorry to hear you had such a bad time with the Cucblack flightsuit. Like I said, mine I feel is generally ok and I feel better about the design now I hear you only made changes to the cut. The only adjustments I want to make are to bring the calves in a little to make them slightly more fitted and lift the thigh pockets marginally. Everything else seems ok - Christian asked me for about a bazillion measurements! I thought the material was good. Certainly no worse than any mil-spec flightsuit I've worn. I'll get a separate review together in a new thread instead of hijacking yours.
 
Haven't been here in a long while. Getting ever closer to replacing the "SE" with just plain ol' ROTJ !!!
