New ROTJ Boot Spats Version 2.0


The Boot spats are another blunder from my first costume. As a reminder, my first costume was based off the ESB version, and in the ESB version Boba Fett does not have spats. This is a ROTJ specific item only.

To make the spats for Version 1.0, I used a seam ripper and took off the collar of the jumpsuits and stitched some Velcro to them and bam! They were boot spats.

For Version 2.0, I did like I did for the utility pouches. I found an old preproduction photograph of the costume laid out on the floor. I traced over the photo with AutoCAD, printed a pattern, cut it out of Tackle Twill, stitched it, and bam! Boot kickin' spats!
