Han Solo jacket

Not sure if this is in the right place or not, mods feel free to put it where it belongs.

After seeing Sable's new Indy gun belt from costume base, I looked them up on ebay. I saw that they sell a Han Solo ESB costume, and as I've always wanted that jacket, I feel the need to ask: Has anybody here ordered that costume, particularly in a size medium? If so, how's the quality of the jacket, and does it fit slim or baggy? How long are the sleeves, etc?

I think Railoks got one.

I got one, yes.

Well, for me, I believed I ordered large so it was a bit too big for me. But the sleeves are okay, and I think a medium would fit perfect.

The quality? Well, it ain't the best jacket but for the price, it's the best you can find.

Can you tell me the length of the sleeves from shoulder seem to cuff? I can get the jacket tailored in, in fact I'll probably have to, so I need to order based on the sleeve length.

I have the Han Solo vest that I purchased through the star wars fan club a number of years ago. Does anyone know how the costume base stuff might compare to that?

I got the Costume Base Han Solo ANH outfit. Size large shirt and vest, and medium pants. The shirt sleeves are too long, but should be easy to re-hem. The pants are too long, but again, probably just a hemming issue, and slightly too big in the waist. The gun belt is too big on me, so I'm trying to figure out how to adjust it. The belt and holster are vinyl, not leather, but it looks OK for Halloween costume. These are not tailor made to your measurements, but rather generic sizing.

Expensive shipping from his location, but he uses a quick delivery service out of China.

Hey guys, I have both the ANH and the ESB sets from costumebase. Good quality for the money but not the best. I am 6' tall and 185lbs with kind of long arms. I got the ESB set first, in a size large, and it was a bit big but with washing and drying the jacket I got it to fit much better. The pants were huge for my 34" waist but once I removed the really bad leg stripes and sewed the legs back together to add more accurate stripes, the pants fit nice and snugly. In fact I just tore out the seams on the crotch after wearing it in Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade by climbing into the back of a pick up truck. I'm just glad it happened after the parade

. I got the ANH set in a size Medium so that it would fit like it should.

I've been doing events as Han for about a year now and I know the costume pretty well, so feel free to ask if anyone has any other Han questions.

So how's his Indy gear? Smaller in size like his Captain Jack gear?
