I think I lost my 501st access.... DS 7834 of Great Lakes Garrison.

They may have moved it, our designation is no longer SL but DS.

The four way stretch shiny or matte vinyl would be the two chooses, can you get samples of these to see them in person? If so I would go that route before deciding. I know a lot of Mara'a have the shiny PVC and I have a matte PVC. Also, check in with them and see if they can do the back zipper as a "hidden" zipper. Other than grinding that out it looks like it could be modified nicely, you will want to make sure if you do ho this route that you give yourself some room in the fit to add the piping and the quilting. Hope that helps.

Are you talking about the front buckles?

If you want to try purchasing the fabric online there are a few sites that sell fabric that is four way stretch and suitable.

If you mean like a jersey kind of knit then that would not work.

Is it a four way stretch fabric? Is it coated in something to make it look like leather?

Riding boots would work great, make sure they are comfortable and don't pinch your feet.

I am so glad you were able to get approved!

In my opinion I think this wig will work for you, just make sure it is not overly curly. And be sure to post before and after pictures, I am curious as to what the wig will look like out of the box and then after your styling. I have been thinking about switching to using a wig for mine instead of dying it all the time.

That you for taking a look into this and sharing what you found.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I think that based on my picture I posted as a reference (it is in the comics), that if you attach the knee pads it should be accepted. Maybe what we can do is contact the LMO who is reviewing your costume.

Looks good, welcome to the Flagship.

The comic ones were not rigid, from the photo's they looked rigid to me. What were they made of? Also, for your other shins that you had pictured I did find a comic picture that looked much like what you have except that the knee pads are attached to the shins. Maybe there is a way for you to attach your's to the new shins?
