ok, I've seen a couple of belts etc on ebay, but anyone want to point me out where to get just belt and pouches. I'll adapt my belt to look like Adi Gallia's buckle though, but at least I'll get a more authentic belt than what I have at the moment! :) Then at least one of my costumes will be pretty much complete.

Go here http://stores.ebay.com/costumebases if you have not allready, his name is Simon and tell him you are a member. Do not accept first price, he generaly will do a deal and I find he is fare with costs.

Yes, the current Costumebase belts don't look bat at all. Definitely haggle on the price. ;)

The only bad thing about them is they don't make them for people as fat as I am. So if you've got a 47" waist :)....you're stuffed (literally). ;)

Yes I tend to agree even their costumes are not made for bigger people, but I do find their officers belt is good size for most. and to buy in bulk is best to get the biggest size as they can easily be cut down to size. I have a Obi One jedi belt I got for Helen, and it fits me ok. But the jedi belts cannot be altered easily, a bit of work would be required if attempting to alter. The good thing with the costume ase stuff is they give you all the little fiddely bits and they look good. The new pouches are also an improvement on the old ones.

Impressive! Most Impressive! :P

If I can put on my official Jedi costume observers hat for a second....DON'T put your food capsules on the small belt! They go on the large belt! If I have to tell you again.....OH! I'll be even crosser! :)

I am, however, going to show you some leniency because this costume doesn't actually exist. ;)

OK. Hat off now. ;)

No problem. Just let me know when it's all ready and I'll show you how to get dressed. :)

Oh, if you want to be extra spiffy, you'll need a Covertec clip on your belt for holding your sabre. They're a bit hard to find these days, but they're out there.

Ah, good! Goooooood! ;)

That saves some trouble. I bought four of them for $20 many years ago. Sold three of them. I never actually hang my sabre off it, but it is part of the costume, so I had to have it!

That reminds me, I must get the wheels in motion on my costume upgrade. This Jedi is about to get a major overhaul! ;)
