Following @tattooed_pariah suggestion I purchased a Cord Lock for the Split Skirt. Works really well!

Fitting Hood and capelet, pix here https://imgur.com/a/xAh5yUv Rob's vid detailed how to attach eye hooks with safety pins that clip to chest plate O-rings. Didn't see this detail in the CRL image, is it required? Would prefer not attach them if I don't have to. For this fitting I gently twisted the capelet ends a few times and tucked them under the O-ring area. Having trouble aligning the shirt seam above the chest piece capelet lip. Pulling the shirt back a bit more may help. Any other suggestions?

Fitting vambraces and hand plates, pix here https://imgur.com/a/ElAGON2 Started with Rob's vid and did the following: Put vambraces on and tightened to fit Chalked a line on outside Took the vambraces off and lined up along the outside mark Chalked an outline of the Velcro inside Removed vambraces and applied Velcro on chalk outline

Fitting fabric drapes, pix here https://imgur.com/a/xhkoz37 Rob explained in his vid that fabric drapes should be able to break away if you step on them, hence velcro on one side and safety pins on the other. I'll definitely add velcro to the pin side in the future. Cardboard in bottom of drape bounced around unnaturally while walking. Has anyone made modification to prevent this?

Fitting the chest, pix here https://imgur.com/a/xhkoz37 Rob's video on this was great. I started from the mid section moving left to right, then to the next section up: Hand fit section using a ruler if necessary Chalk outline the chest piece fit on to back piece Remove from body Set velcro Put back on and test

Rob's video explained how to secure torso and cape straps. But without seeing it done I had a hard time visualizing. This is what I eventually got to.

Started fitting this afternoon. Found this image incredibly helpful. Thanks for posting @DarthValkyria

Awesome info! Thanks for posting in such detail.

I was thinking about suspenders or straps like this https://www.amazon.com/YiwerDer-Adjustable-Fastening-Reusable-Organizer/dp/B0C68Z6ZQP/ref=sr_1_5 But your suggestion is much better. Thank you.

That concludes component breakdown. Fitting is next! Using these vids as reference.

Fabric Drapes Component requirements appear to be met. Black sash will be secured by velcro on one end and safety pins on the other. Lower half of red drape is made stiff with a piece of cardboard and is also secured with safety pins. Haven't attached anything to the armor yet but I have my doubts about safety pins.

Lightsabers Got both light and dark NeoPixel from Vader's Vault. A ready to ship Revanchist with covertec wheel installed and very cool blade plug. Also a customized REV-N Elite with copper accents and buttons with covertec wheel. I'm really pleased with the sound output/quality, LED brightness, exclusive sound fonts and chassis resilience. Order completion and shipping was much faster than I expected. Of the two blades they sent, one has as few LEDs glitching on the top section of one side. I have to submit a return request, will keep you posted on how that goes. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/CJHBouu

Split Skirt Appears to meet component requirements. This one was a little tricky for me: 1) It took a wile to realize I put it on inside out. 2) The waist is secured by an elastic chord that slipped deep into the skirt loop (may not be the correct term) a few times. Pushing it back out the loop was a pain. Definitely looking for alternative options from the community. 3) Splits are different. On the elastic tie side, its open from top to bottom. On the opposite side its only open half way. I guessed the full open side was front because Fabric Drapes will cover? But the same could be said for back split, it will be covered by the cape. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Wicked Armor's suit up vid might help clarify. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/33R2vP5

Cape Appears to meet component requirements. Mannequin and I are approximately the same height so length should be good. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/8JLI6ua

Hood and Capelet Appears to meet component requirements. Hooks on cuirass are fixed and capelet attaches to the inside. Sure the details of this component will become more apparent during my first fitting. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/J3l3XN1

Shirt Arm length is good, plenty of space to move in without pulling things out of place. Snug, soft and flexible. In the future I may replace with a modified long sleeve Under Armour shirt. That would eliminate a layer and reduce shirt thickness. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/wP8NyAY

Amazon mannequin arrived today https://www.amazon.com/Mannequin-Clothing-Adjustable-Detachable-Realistic/dp/B0BJ2PT6TP/ref=sr_1_4?th=1 Looking for Star Wars related name suggestions. Options: Randy from Atton Rand Onasty from Carth Onasi

Back Plate Very happy multiple components are combined! Looking forward to try on and fitting. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/xI3RQwE

Chest Plate Very happy multiple components are combined! Looking forward to try on and fitting. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/LrirOwk

Hand Plates Plates have two elastic bands, one that goes around the wrist and one around the middle finger. Good surface area without hanging over and black gloves hide the bands pretty well. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/LesZZ8x

Vambraces Did a preliminary fitting and they're correctly sized. We'll see if any modifications need to be made once I do my actual fitting. Really like the paint job. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/fwuqXp2

Gloves Wicked Armor's gloves have a soft cotton lining that doesn't add much overall girth. Stylish, thin, and comfortable. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/boWlP0r I live in Southern California so heat mitigation is a top priority and removing the lining on my Kylo Ren gloves helped. I decided to the the same with these. It's a pretty simple process but intimidating if you've never never done it before: Turn the glove inside out. Use chopstick to gently push the fingers through Cut along the wrist seam, being careful not to cut leather Gently pull liner from wrist to fingers, like you would take off a t-shirt Cut thread on liner fingertips that connect to leather Turn the glove right side out The gloves have some internal stitching that rubs a bit, but it's not irritating.

Mask Wicked Armor's mask comfortably fits my M.O.D.O.K. sized head. Both straps are fully adjustable. Visibility is not great though, will take some getting used to. However, not having to wear a full helmet will lower overall costume heat. All component images -> https://imgur.com/a/wAydI5q
