Tandy does not have leather blanks that are the correct size for a bandolier just letting you know

LOL thank you for these items!
Here's an updated list:
-Mask
-lifts (home made ones using some older fracture boots that I have laying around and will modify with calf support). I will be adding a lot of height to this, but the boots are a base
-mesh
-hair... LOTS and lots of hair lol
-magnets and or snaps for securing onto my lifts.
-suspenders
-toes (thinking of trying my hand at these... I have TONS of EVA foam laying around my garage haha)
-sound, I'm using my trooper talk that has a chewie file already (I use this with my Jawa, TK and Starkiller).
Addon
-Gloves with hair glued onto the backs
-Bandolier and satchel (possibly will attempt to make this myself as there is a nice leather store just up the road from myself and they have a lot of leather already cut into sections wide enough and long enough.)
-Bowcaster is optional, but just might do this
Here's another question for everyone. What do y'all use to carry around your chewbacca masks? I have seen one actually make a box with a stand inside to carry it around so they don't have to throw it inside their bin and get the hair messed up. |

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I have a strip of 3 inch wide leather that I got from them and I was going to get another to trim that down slightly to make a bando. _________________ Approved as:

Thank you! I was talking to one of my friends back in KY who owns a leather shop and gave him some measurements (3 inch wide and 76 inch lenght) and he was able to provide me with 2 76 inch strips and threw in a 1 inch one for the middle to hold the boxes on or to make for a different bandolier. Now I'm starting in on my lifts (trying to make my own at this moment as I have a LOT of excess lumber around the garage) and trying to find a pattern for the bandolier. I see where Adam Savage has his own, but it looks like he's using a 4 inch wide strip rather than a 3?
Does anyone know of some patterns so I could make my own? _________________ Approved as:
