Get the longest hair they have. When I made my suit the hair was usually $1.99 per bag, some places had it for $2.99. I never really wrote down how many bags I...

I'm building a suit but taking a long way around. I've started with basic shorts or Jams if you remember those down past the knee shorts.I'm planning on sewing...
I am looking into getting a Chewbacca costume. I have no experience in putting much together. I was wondering about the Supreme Chewbacca suit from Rubies. Can...
It's not worth it. The Supreme Edition suit is $400-$500. For just the shirt and pants on my suit, I spent about half that and it looks much better. It's also...
Hi Richard, The bests on Supreme Edition depend where you are living. If you are in the US, I don't think you can beat the price on Amazon.com. (How the hell...
Things are going good, just made the molds for my chewie toes last night, bandolier is done. Got the sound board with chewie sounds on it. Hands are done....
I saw Darrens picture, just using a tshirt for the top, what about for the bottom, use shorts, and then just have the netting to form the leg to help keep you...
... So far as undersuit - it really depends on the event and weather. Ideally - for a more canon appearance I wear: Black jeans, a black turtleneck, and latex...
So your netting isn't tied down to any shirt or pants then? You just slip it over whatever your wearing? Thanks Kevin _____ From: wookiee@yahoogroups.com...
... just slip ... The netting is not attached to anything specific. I tie each leg to my belt - and the shirt is just work as a shirt. The "feet" do get...
Chewie has always been and will likely always be a rare costume. I think there are about a dozen Chewie's and maybe 6 or so other Wookiees out there. That's...
Im proud to say I am a wookiee, it was so cool to have people wanting a picture with me at C3. By the way I just finished taking a few pics for some contests...
Well I got my netting online to make the undersuit, picked up a huge amount of hair at the beauty supply place last week, so time to start on it. Will be...
Do you have those pics up yet? Got a lot accomplished over the weekend, made and mounted the teeth in the mask, made a back of the head shell and mated it to...
HI Caleb, it looks real good, lol I love it with you on the bike, that’s funny. My only suggestion is to either weather the tunic, or better yet, go with a...
Hey, Thanks for the kind remarks, the tunic isnt really even a tunic, It really a poorly cut peice of cloth held on with safety pins. At some point I am going...
Like I said, get a nice piece of thin leather, weather it up, add some greeblies to it, would look good, my .02 cents. Everything else on it looks great. :-)...
... i was thinking....While you're working on your Chewie costume, are you documenting your steps so others who might want to make their own suit/costume may...
Hi yes, ive been taking pics as I go along. Im in the final process now of the undermask so within the next day or so, im going to apply the dragonskin. The...
Thank you for letting me join. I'd like to actually meet anybody who has made their own Wookiee costume. Also, I noticed that someone brought up the height of...
... foul out early. As far as Wookiee height, seems like I read a long time ago that Chewie was around 7.5 feet tall and was considered "short" for a Wookiee. ...
According to Stuart Freeborn, who did the make up effects on the original trilogy, in the end Chewie was 8 feet tall. Peter is 7'3"/7'4" and Freeborn explained...
