| This is a bad-ass costume that is gaining popularity
with a few people making some nice helmets. It's a good alternative
for those of us who want armour but are too small for trooper gear
and want something a little different than Boba Fett.
To do a really great version of this costume you're gonna have
to use leather, or a fake leather alternative. I will tell you now
that leather is not easy to work with! You usually need an industrial
machine and patience. I DID NOT do my own sewing. I realised after
sewing, resewing, re-cutting, buying more fabric and resewing my
aurra catsuit (!) that I'm not the sewy type. My wonderful seamstress
Neko
did the hard work on this one, but I went with her fabric shopping
;)
The overall fabric cost for this costume was about $200. I bought
leather from a local store that had a lot mismatched scrap pieces.
The pants in particular aren't totally accurate but with all the
styling on them it's not a huge deal.
