Faux suede/leather Boushh costume for sale
Under-Tunic – This is made from faux suede and Airtex, which is a great fabric to keep the costume-wearer cool. The collar section and the sleeves are faux suede, with the rest of the body being in Airtex. There is a zip up the back with a cord so you don’t need any assistance to zip it up. The costume then has a high neck, which gathers while being worn, and the sleeves are shaped at the wrist to form a glove which the thumb sides through, although it can be difficult to slide the sleeves over the gloves if you are trying to dress yourself. The sleeves are also given extra length so that they gather at the wrist and there are 16 half inch tree spikes attached to the back of the hands. Finally, the wrist section is left open for ease of dressing, these are finished with hand-stitching and the black cotton lining of the sleeves can be seen at the wrist openings.
Tunic – Made from faux suede with front and collar facings and elbow length sleeves.
Trousers – Made from pleather, an artificial leather. The legs are paneled with stitch detail. There is a stitched zip up fly section, and a wrap-over waistband with a hook and bar fastener. There are also several darts in the waist. Just below the crotch the trousers meet with the thigh sections, which in turn meet the lower leg sections above the knees. This seam is then top-stitched. The lower leg contains a pleated section to allow the knee to bend; these pleats are pressed into the leather. The bottom of the trousers also features a Lycra foot stirrup which holds the trousers in place while the wearer puts on their boots.
Boot Covers – An affordable basic boot that has been cut down and resewn.The covers are made from faux suede. The upper boot cover section is quilted with stripes and velcros up the back, and they have an elastic stirrup that goes under the heel of the boot to stop them riding up the leg. The boot strap is made from piped cord which is then encased in a ring of cord to form an oval and the boot strap is then backed. Eyelets are set in the strap for the boots discs; this allows us to remove my boot discs in case they get damaged. The strap is then sewn to the boot cover.
Boot Discs – These are cast from polyurethane resin. The boot discs have the correct TIE fighter greeblie, and we have set small nuts and bolts into the resin so we can attach and remove the discs from the boot covers if necessary.
Cummerbund – Again, made from faux suede with around 13 metres (yes 13 metres!) of piped rope which really does make for a tedious job. This part of the costume velcros up the back which means that the cummerbund can then be tightened or extended slightly if necessary. Finally, there are also two toggle buttons on the lining of the cummerbund which then fasten to the armour.
Cowl – Made from, guess what? Faux suede! This section is pleated to give that crumpled effect. The head section is then made from black is stretch jersey, which is more comfortable to wear, and this fastens up the back with the aid of velcro.
Cotton Cloak – Yes, you read right, this is indeed made from cotton and not from faux suede. This cotton has a warp/weft weave and the cloak also features a 1” machined hem all the way around. It then has a popper on each of the two top corners which attach to the bandolier.
Then it was time for the weathering. You might expect this to be the fun part of costume making, but this was far from fun, and was actually very time consuming. The weathering is made up of black on the trouser part of the costume, which resembles oil spills, etc, and the rest of the costume is generally grubby looking, as you would be if you traveled around in space looking for alien bounty I suppose.
