The actual TFA Undersuit

[JimmyC]

Let me begin with a story on how I found this... Now, I can't promise these are still available, but if you go and contact them sooner rather than later, you may be able to get one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would frequent this under suit website frequently, because they had nice cotton one piece double zipper black under suits. I have one from when I was making my TK and I've been in the market for another one, since I now have 3 TKs and only once undersuit... ANYWAYS... Right around the time that TFA was in production I was on their site and I noticed a new undersuit i had never seen before, kind of odd looking.. it said it was for the new movie, but i really didnt know. I had mentioned it to a friend of mine, and not a few days passed and the site and removed the page. I didn't think anything of it again until I got my email about finally being aloud to buy TFA armor! so I was on the lookout for a new undersuit... and I remembered that site! so I went there and emailed them...  and this is the response I got:

 

"We have some left over which pinewood studios didn’t use they are £49.99 each

 

sizes left are large and XL"

 

Yes please! I jumped on it!  I got it and it looks exactly like that.. Now, I know it's impossible to tell since the film isn't out yet, but I really wouldn't doubt it.. The shiny part is very stretchy...

 

anyways.. email them directly: http://stormtrooperundersuit.com/

 

Good luck getting a set! Post here if you get one!! MTFBWY

weird... their holster is strange.

The clone undersuit doesn't look quite right either, so...take it for what you will.

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Yeah, Bender already posted this link somewhere in the TFA CRL thread i think. After, did they really supplied the undersuit for the film, I don't know.

[Billhag]

 did they really supplied the undersuit for the film, I don't know.

 

Yerrp, they did ,

That site is part of Extreme Racing who provided the suits for TFA. They had them up on their main site way back in July-Aug 2014 but they removed 'em a little while after, they must have got their hands slapped by Disney / Lucas because they haven't put them back up since.

 

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Well if Billy says it is true then this is good enough for me.

[Bryanmc[501st]]

I ordered one, a large. Hope it's not too big but I figure it will be easy enough to resell if it doesn't fit.

 

$102 shipped.

[tkrestonva[TK]]

Just ordered mine as well. I ordered an XL based on the sizing chart. Paid the same price as Bryan, which is a LOT more than I'm used to paying for a TK undersuit but I figured it's worth it for the accuracy. Here is the text of the email they sent me:



Hi Brian

I’ve added it to our site
-------------------

The ep7 gloves will be available soon too

For what it's worth, we have a very creative member of the UKG Armoury team who is in the process of replicated this undersuit into a more user friendly 2-piece so that you can utilise an existing UA top (or any other suitable brand) that you might have.

He should be offering them up to troopers pretty soon

[Daetrin[Admin]]

UKG leads the way again! As a tall thinner guy I have a hard time getting onesies to fit, so I think I'll wait on your mate, Billy.

I also emailed, also received the same response, and also ordered the XL based on the chart. Definitely more than what I'm used to spending but hey, if it is accurate, it is accurate, right?

I have mine ordered. This was the one piece I thought I'd never acquire (or it would be a super long time until an alternative came out). Thanks for the heads up!

[tkrestonva[TK]]

Now that they are openly selling the undersuit on their website, can we move this thread to the open TFA area?

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Done. Not sure why it was in 501st only anyway. 501st only TFA is just for people doing build threads that they don't want the public to see.

[kwdesigns[TK]]

I order mine at the end of last year or first part of January, right around the time when they first closed down their site. (I can't remember exactly) but yes this is what the correct TFA under suit looks like.

Just a heads up the material is much thicker than what we are used to with normal underarmor. It feels more like cold weather under armor.

 

Mine is still the in the bag. I think it would be too hot to wear it here in sunny Southern California.

Wow, looks like the overwelming emails were enough for them to add it back to their site. Awesome!

[Daft Aider]

Are the EP7 gloves movie accurate as well?

[kwdesigns[TK]]

NO, NO, NO, their gloves are far from accurate.

 

Imperialboots has the most accurate gloves. They use the correct black thread for the stitching on the palm pads. etc.

Has anyone received tracking info or notification that the item has shipped? The status for my order is "Complete & Dispatched", but I haven't gotten any e-mails regarding shipment. Since I've never ordered from this company before, I just want to know what to expect.

[midorimushi[TK]]

looking forward to all of the sexy butts in this suit

I received a Royal Mail tracking number this morning for my suit.

[DarthMel[TK]]

Yeah, I did too. It's being prepped for transfer at O'Hare. Which means it's close. Which means I'm going to go crazy with anticipation!

[JimmyC]

Mine took about a week or two and I'm in southern Ohio. This was just back in Sept and it came in a bag.

[dave maul[501st]]

Does anyone know if they will be getting more stock in of the undersuit ?

[tkrestonva[TK]]

Mine came yesterday. From the time I placed the order to the time it arrived took eight days - which coming from the UK is lightning fast. It's definitely thicker than your standard UnderArmor-type compression gear - more like t-shirt thickness - but still stretchy. I ordered an XL and it fits perfectly.
