Small update on the Jango build.
I just picked up another flightsuit (bringing the total to three…) from KriptonTop/CBProps/CuchoGalaxy, along with his new flak vest. I grabbed it on a bit of a whim - mostly out of excitement that we finally have another solid option for Jango builders - and because I’ve had a great experience with his Boba flightsuit in the past.
After getting it in hand, I’m genuinely impressed. The first thing that stood out to me was the color. I’ve used Arkady’s and Evolution Props’ suits before, and the color has always been the one tricky area. Jango’s flightsuit tone is notoriously hard to pin down and changes a lot depending on lighting and which film reference you’re looking at. Somehow, Christian really nailed it here (at least to my eye).
Below are some photos in a few different lighting conditions:

It seems that the flightsuit gives off both blue and purple tones depending on the lighting. The flak vest (only shown in the last photo) is pleather, but it feels high quality and the color is accurate (blue/gray). My only real critique is the width of the shoulder flaps; they’re a bit too narrow - there should be a bit more material visible around the shoulder armor from both the front and back. The length of the shoulder flaps is perfect though, and they don't require "working" to get them to lay correctly.
Overall, I’m very happy with the flightsuit and pretty happy with the flak vest. With a slight adjustment to the shoulder flaps, the vest has a lot of potential.
The only other note on the flightsuit: it includes buttonholes for the thigh armor, which Jango doesn’t use, so I’ll need to stitch those closed. On the positive side, the buttonholes for the knee and shin armor are already in place (and perfectly positioned!) which saves some extra work.
