GLOVES AND BOOTS These bits can be easily done and then upgraded later. Gloves - sheepskin riding gloves I bought at boot store that caters to bikers. They were about $14 and are the perfect neutral colour. They get dirty easily but that's ok! The wrists are hidden under the sleeves of the undershirt so if you have an elastic band like mind it wont' be seen but it will keep your gloves in place!
Screen used gloves The actual costume uses some crazy ski gloves that are near impossible to find, but occasionally they popup on ebay.
BOOTS The screen acurate boots are spats over shoes with some nifty detailing. I haven't done that yet but no one seems to notice ;) I use "humani" brand sheepskin boots. Thank you Cameron Diaz for popularizing the sheepskin boot. Unfortunately this style is loosing popularity so depending on where you live you may not be able to get sales or cheap knockoffs anymore. The main brand is "Ugg" but they tend to be expensive. The boots I bought were on sale for $20 (down from $180!) These boots are also very warm when it's cold out and quite comfortable!
Jamey Ethrdige, the great guy who made my bandolier is now producing boot greeblies that are dead accurate! He's also done me the service of providing a blurb, check it out! The "disc part" (base piece) of the greeblie is not
a found part. After a long search, I found a glass bottle with a
bottom that was the correct size, based on the laser caliper measurements
obtained by Studio Creations. I molded and cast the lower portion
of the bottle, then trimmed down the casting until it was just the
disc section. I notched it with my Dremel, then added the model
part (which is from a 1978 MPC Darth Vader TIE Fighter model kit),
which is the same part that I don't want to discourage anyone from making these, but it's
very hard to find a disc with the right dimensions, degree of concavity
to the face, and correct angles. In addition the 1978 Vader TIE
model kit (not the re-issued 1987 or 1995 "commemorative"
versions which are the wrong size) is hard to come by these days
as well. It can be done, but the time and cost
probably wouldn't be worth it to the "average" costumer.
If I had just been making a pair of these for myself, I probably
wouldn't have gone to all the trouble. It's an obscure part that
most people wouldn't pay that much attention to. Since I decided
that I wanted to make these en masse for other Boushh costumers,
I decided to I guess a tutorial could be as simple as:
Contact Jamey for your boot greeblies, with (or without) attaching hardware built in!
