I got a pair of Qui-Gon boots and food capsules from him no complaints from me.The Qui-gon boots are a little lighter shade of brown than the movie version,but I can always stain them a darker brown

Sorry Master Kenobi, but it rather irks me when someone offers complaints on a product by another organization, and that particular organization has costumes within it's ranks that are just as inaccurate as mine...and I get warned to "watch out!" Sorry, but I think my costume rocks and that's all there is to it!

I totally agree with you on this concern, JKG. You bought the costume and are very happy with it. I bought my Obi-Wan ROTS outfit there and was super happy. I really don't give 2 flying hoots in regards the Legion, 501st or anyone else. Not to put down the good and honest members there (Like Master Kenobi), but do they really have a say in what you wear and what is accurate? Accuracy is in the eye of the beholder, not an outside point of view. You bought the outfit because you wanted a good price and are satisfied with it. Let's not go down the road we went with the Luke ANH thread. If it comes to that, the clamp will tighten and shut down. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but no bringing people down. Now keep it clean and have fun.

This is a general advisary. Now, with that said.....

I really like the costume. The Costume Base is a good company that sells for good prices. The Mauser looks neat. Mostly metal, JKG.

I have a lot of their stuff and it really depends on the item:  the han and obiwan are really good.  the anakin is ok too except for the tabbards which look kinda cheap.

the jedi belts look/feel great but they're a bit undersized. I think they're 2.25 inch wide and they should be more like 2.75 or 3 inch.

the luke anh belt is near perfect.

the han solo gunbelts are also near perfect .. but they do not hold the master replicas blasters, just for the record.
(it would hold a Mauser with no scope, or a hasbro, no problem. but the holster has a bit of a problem with the scope on the side of both the ESB and ANH solo blasters from MR. I tried 'em ;) you'd have to hack the holster a little bit with an exacto knife to make a path for the scope. tried that too ;) )
other than that they look really good. and with a bit of modification, they work great

-===-

I don't have the hoth or endor outfits but the endor looks nasty (IMO). :P  sorry. it had to be said.   ;D

the pants are like normal khakis that youd buy anywhere (except for the stripe) and the jacket is about 2x as thick as the pants material. the jacket is the same type of poly/cotton that coveralls are made from, or work clothes, I guess would be the best way to describe it. its pretty thick. it actually feels like a "jacket" (not a shirt).  its definitely worth buying.  I know some of their costumes can be questionable (especially for a twin roses customer like yourself) but for what its worth this one is really well done.  (same with the ANH version. in fact I think I like the ANH version better. hehe)

Wedge got it right... the pants are just cotton, except the stripes. The jacket is thicker and could serve as a light jacket honestly. The shirt is a very soft cotton, possibly a blend with some sort of spandex? It's very soft. It's definitely not just some thin crap. It would hold up to wear, I'd say.

I found a great pair of boots online on ebay for about $40 that are listed as generic military/jedi boots, but also work for Han Solo boots.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230180989379&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=013

Nice thing about this company is that they offered large calf boots as well. For me (TMI, I know) I needed the wide calf cause I have the calves of a runner (without the running). They fit great, look like real leather, and really complete the costume. My wife was nice enough to take a pic of the full costume.
