Just wanted to get clarity, the main spreadsheet had it at the Hyatt Regency bar. I assume they mean Hyatt Regency McCormick? Since there is another Hyatt Regency in Chicago.

Dat cape.
I'll wait until Celebration hopefully we'll get more details and more pictures, but yes I definitely want to add this to the costume list.

I think I heard they approved a 000 which is the torture protocol droid from the Vader comics recently. My friend joked I should make Bt-1 since I'm working on an Dr Aphra but I'm not ready to go down the droid building road.

Randy is actually Ray. His hair is actually a little darker in that photo, it's a little lighter in RL, but at the end of the day the kids call him Kallus. Does he have perfect voluminous Kallus hair. No. I've been to several troops with Ray as Kallus and the public recognizes him. He goes into great detail getting his hair slicked back and making sure his chops have the points before every troop.

My friend said it took a year and half before he got his Star Trek costume.

My friend works there. They have great costumer service. As long as they have them in Stock they ship fast.
-
I've noticed Joann has been carrying some nice suitable olive fabric lately.
-
When measuring make sure you wear your pants. Most fabric won't be super thick, but you had a pair of tall socks and the pant fabric it can factor in with the measurement.
-
My friend purchase one. We will see what it looks like in person in the fall. I would have loved to get one too but just spend money on a Doctor Who costume and my Mando project.
-
If they aren't super like you are about to die tight, just wear them. Leather will stretch. Wear them around the house for a few days. And no I'm not joking.
-
If you have a local consignment shop catering to equestrians I'd look there. ridersmall.com also is an option depending on your boot size. I think they start at $199.
-
Good ole fashion wearing them around is the best way to stretch the ankle. Like one of my equestrian friends put it, "If you're not willing to die, pick another sport." Mind you she was joking about horse riding. But yeah ankles does need to break in, once they do they should be fine. Because you guys aren't gonna ride in these, I suggest walking up and down stairs and flexing the ankles a lot to help them break in.

The lady I use for my horse show embroidery actually has the Imperial cog in her system now. I used it for a saddle pad before. So if you'd like to use her, she's in VA.
She made this for my garment bag. The embroidery was like $27, the garment bag was from: https://www.smartpakequine.com/smartpak-coat-bag-9066p It's not a cheap bag, very nice quality.
-
Here's the lady's listing. Though because my calf was wide I actually bought mens size 7 wide calf since those seem to fit my measurements perfectly. http://www.ridersmall.com/main/boots/Tall/ladies/Decent_Ladies_Dressage_boots_wobz.html

If your calves aren't crazy you can probably fit into a pair of Decent riding boots from Hispar. Several folks in our Garrison have them. I own and ride in them and they are still looking great after 2yrs. They show a zipper in the picture, but this listing is for the one without a zipper. Not sure how much shipping would be to AUS. http://www.ridersmall.com/main/boots/Tall/men/Decent_Men_Dressage_boots_wobz.html

I've had pleather boots before they definitely don't breath as well as leather. The higher quality ones do have a leather like appearance but the cheaper ones look like rain boots.
Also make sure to have someone take your measurements because measuring yourself you don't get the best measurement.
-
They're not real leather. "Faux leather". The pic they are using does look like MUR and those are real leather. Seems a little shady.
-
I think the problem is that ridersmall.com didn't take a pic of the pull on version. Just copied and pasted the zippered version.
A lot of pull on boots will have a gusset standard. All my tall boots had a gusset. Zippered boots usually don't have one because the zipper gives a little stretch in the boot.
3 of our members have these boots. I can take a pic later when it isn't 530 am and my con mates aren't sleeping.
-
They have a small gusset. Which maybe what you guys are calling a stretch panel.
-
They actually sound perfect. As long as your leg isn't pulsing from the boots being too small and not getting circulation they should be finr. Leather needs to be broken in. Once the leather breaks in at the ankle they will drop. When I get a new pair of boots I always dread the break in process. Depending on the leather it can take a short time or longer. So just put them on and wear them around the house.
Also this is a little exercise I teach my students who first learn to ride but go to a stair and on the balls of your feet drop your heel. It's to help people learn to drop their heel in the saddle but it can also help break the leather in at the ankle.
After the ankle breaks in then see how tall they are. If they are still too tall then I'd get them cut my a cobbler.

He's old! Yay!
-
Yes several members have these including myself
