Clamps[TK] Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Alright all you TK's.. I know many of you also have Tie Pilot, Off-Duty Tie or Imperial Crew kits. Which maker is currently the GO-TO maker for the black flight suits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancelot[TK] Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 MonCal is now offering excellent suits. Usual patience required due to high demand. I have a couple of these on order. Costumebay's suit will get you basic 501st approval. Worked for both my crewman and gunner. Don't get the belt, though, as the buckle won't pass. VaderDave's are excellent.

Clamps[TK] Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Shall I assume the costume bay one won't be suitable for level2/3 requirements for various kits that require the flight suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I want an approved suit with vynal decals! (velcro hint hint!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I want an approved suit with vynal decals! (velcro hint hint!) I was wanting the vinyl decal version as well. What's the velcro hint for? to be able to remove the cog when you don;t want it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsafe66[Admin] Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I bought my Black Imperial Officer uniform and My TIE flightsuit @ Cosplay Sky: http://cosplaysky.com/. Both are great quality and approved right out of the package. With the flight suit, you get 2 designations in one, The above is an Imperial Crewman (IC) with the boxes on and TIE Reserve Pilot (TI) with them off. Technically, the boxes are optional, so they both can look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, the boxes are optional, so they both can look the same. I was kinda thinking along those line, not because I want to pad my designations, but, well, because they are simply that close in CRL requirements. I think the main difference is the Gloves for Ti Reserve or something along those lines. I will reach out to Cosplaysky to inquire as well.

Jancelot[TK] Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh yeah, forgot about Cosplaysky. Excellent choice as well. The Costumebase jumpsuit lacks the pointed collar in the back so doesn't qualify for level 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisaac Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I got mine from wompawear.com. His are inexpensive and turn around was about a week (This was during Dec). He will sew on imp cogs as well if you want them. They are not vinyl though. His compad window is the right size as well. The only thing you will need to do is take off the bottom two pockets from the legs and you are good to go for a RP and a TI. I have a ton of pics of the flightsuit on my WIP thread on the JRS detatchment site. good luck man, Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFubar[TK] Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have a black flightsuit from Moncal and an orange one from Wampawear, both in medium. I had to make a few stitching repairs/reinforcements to the Moncal suit and it took about 5 weeks from initial contact to finally getting it. The Wampawear suit seemed to be a better quality and showed up 3 days after I contacted him. If you don't know the history between the two makers I would order the Wampawear, if you do the choice gets a lot harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svache[TK] Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 My wife has the flightsuit from cosplaysky, it fits her perfect, I think it's a great costume for little money. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
