[The various types of armor and where to find them UPDATED 2023]

As a brand newbie....Thank you for this

[Greetings from Georgia (the state)]

Hi guys and gals. Just got on these forums after meeting some of the 501st at DragonCon. Looking to put a suit together for next year's event and get involved in the 501st. Zero experience costuming, quite a bit of time on my hands and thankfully enough spare change lying around to get a really good suit started. Would probably like to straight up buy a suit and do some of the little adjustments on my own. I live in Cumming (insert giggle here)....it's a suburb north of Atlanta. Anyone in the area that would like to get me going or point me to a good place to make purchases would be greatly appreicated.
