Well if you get it "natural" you can dye it whatever color you want.

I wonder if we could redye it too.

I would use a leather dye, if you try that.

 

[Star Wars Chick]

Oh yeah, but I am wondering if they are coated or sealed or anything to interfere with the dye uptake.

 

[DarthBish]

or, you could just buy some leather "binding" and plait it yourself. It looks like a standard "4 plait". It's dead easy to do.

 

[Foxbatkllr]

Yeah, but for those people who don't have the patience or time...this is a good alternative.

 

[DarthBish]

eeeeeeeeyup, a good expensive alternative.
How many yards do you reckon would be needed for one belt??

 

[cal196]

The dark brown is 2 dollars cheaper per yard than the undyied? hmm that is wierd, need about 20 yards aout 80 bucks, I would definitly get that if I where doing a Jango.

 

[phantom viper]

Well, they got back to me and asked me how much I wanted. I told them about 19 or 20 yards. Still waiting on a reply to see if it will be posable to order it like this. i will keep you all informed.

 

[Star Wars Chick]

How much depends on how big around you are. I would figure on 18-20 braids.

The metallic gold or bronze would be perfect for that
"screen accurate" Mango Fett costume!

[phantom viper]

I thought that would be perfect for Mango.

Well,
they emailed me today and the minimum order on the 6MM ANTQ. DK. BROWN is 1000 yards. So I guess we are out of luck on that unless we want to go in together and do a bulk purchase. But we would need 50 people to buy 20 yards a piece for that to work. So i guess red brown will work just fine for now.

[Skalen Fehl]

Right on! I may finish my Jango before the world ends, lol.

 

[Tambo Fett]

Yes I think I'm going to order a spool...want to go in with me and split it Joey?

 

[Bama Trooper152]

Sure, but i'm wondering if you fix your belt pouches like Seeker did to keep the two belts together, then how much of this do you really need??? I mean if your belts are connected and not moving up and down, then half of the braided belt is never seen.... get what i'm sayin???

Yeah I'll pile in on an order with ya

I'm no Jango SME (Subject Matter Expert) but the red brown looks good and would probably come out more screen accurate if you ran it through some sandwiched fine grain sandpaper. Just a thought.

 

[Star Wars Chick]

Nope, you are absolutely right on that Jodo.

I have a question for you short Jangos out there. Do you have the full 18-20 rows of braided leather on your belts or did you make yours with less? Reason I'm asking is that I am going to probably buy some from that site but in calculating how much I need, I'm thinking 20 rows will look too wide on me since I'm 5'2". It might cover practically my whole lower torso.
