Happy Halloween everyone! I finished my armor and showed up to class today in armor. Had a blast walking around my university campus. https://imgur.com/a/qDT7HKc Thank you all for the advice and tips across the forums.

Does the community have a recommendation for low-cost (<$100) boots? For around $50 I can purchase a pair of black leather deer stag boots and possibly paint them or purchase a finished pair on Etsy for around $60-$70. I'm inclined to go with the Amazon boots since they are cheaper and seem more durable but I am not sure which paint to use.

In my case, I am not sure it would be worth it to get a refund even if I could. I bought the suit for $200 which is by far cheaper than any of the suits I have seen for sale. That said, if the community says it is not approvable, then it's not approvable. I am not sure though that it was a waste of my money. In the future, as my finances permit I would like to purchase an armor kit that could be approved. It's a matter of what I can and can't afford at this time, and this suit was something I could afford right now.

I was looking at the Jedi Robe web page and it looks like their current armor has a combined ammo belt, abb plate, and codpiece. Those parts are separate on my suit.

Hello all, I purchased a suit of Stormtrooper armor I found on Facebook marketplace. The seller got it when he purchased an abandoned storage unit and did not know much about it. I was wanting to know if anyone can help me identify who the manufacturer might be (silently praying its not Rubies) and how to proceed from here. As far as I can tell, its only missing one of the shoulder straps. Any advice this community can provide in getting the suit ready to use would be greatly appreciated.
