[Going to a tailor]

If they have to take it apart, I will definitely just return it right away.  I am not destroying something like that, especially since the MuR uniforms seemed like they were sought after.  I wonder why they stopped?

 

Thank you for the additional information, this helps a lot!

Jo Anns didn't seem to have a whole lot on their site, but I found these other ones on this forum.

I feel like 1 and 3 would be the closest, might get some swatches.

 

That's a good idea about the CRL though.  I saved off several stills as well to show her.

That makes much more sense.  Though if it were me, I'd use a cheaper uniform to use as a pattern.  Unless they can do it without destroying it.

Why would they have to destroy it?  I am scheduling a consultation, but I at least wanted to try and get the fabric portion out of the way.  I guess that was my main question: What fabric have you all used?

 

Night time forum posting isn't my wheelhouse apparently.

Sorry, I meant bringing the uniform to them to use as a pattern to make a completely new one.

So I found a Museum Replica Line Officer uniform, but it is just a little too small.  However, since I have the 30 days to return it, I thought I could bring it to a tailor to get done there and I would just buy the material from Jo-Ann's.  Has anyone done this?  Do they have a fabric there that is good, or did you use another source?

[Will these boots work?]

I would suggest going with some PVC riding boots over the Funtasma ones.  More comfortable, look better, and generally not that much of a price increase.

Magnoli also has FO boots...but they are $750.  I think at that price, plus shipping, you'd be better off finding a custom boot maker.

[Stirrups]

Is that just the elastic fabric that keeps the bottom of the pants in place?

[Thoughts on these boots for FO general?]

Buy once, cry once.  I try to follow that as much as possible.  If you know you are going to be getting the more expensive stuff later on, unless you have a use for the cheap stuff after, just go big.  I plan on upgrading my Staff Officer's uniform to Clothears or something similar for the heavier, better looking fabric.  However, I will still have my Cosplaysky stuff for summer outdoor events if I feel I need it.

[Thoughts on these boots for FO general?]

it seems they would be hard to come by.  Might have to do the Imperial Boots set, or have someone who does custom work build them. 

 

Side note, I just don't like how bulky the soles look and the presence of a zipper.

[Thoughts on these boots for FO general?]

They are supposed to have an integrated cuff at the top no?  They also don't look like they would be tall enough.

[Boots]

The PVC riding boots look significantly better and are more comfortable.  Those boots you show are made for multiple sizes and might be floppy.  I snagged a new pair from ebay (I forget the brand) but they have cushioning on the inside.  My feet and legs are cuddled ever so gently in them.

[My thoughts on Solo, A Star Wars Story.]

Just saw it last night and I thought it was really good.  Especially considering it was said that 80% had to be re-shot for Ron Howard.  Usually massive re-shoots just spells disaster. 

 

I feel like a lot of the hate comes from those "fans" who always think they know better, the armchair quarterbacks of Star Wars.  Their "head canon" and/or fan fiction was "ruined", so they get super salty and toxic.  Thankfully their hate for Solo didn't ruin my enjoyment of it.  I went in fairly agnostic about it and was pleasantly surprised.  I loved the characters, the story, the score...just everything.  My one gripe is that the Patrol Trooper didn't get more screen time, as I really like that look.
