Those wookies need a hair cut!

ok so this is what your gonna need to do, get yourself about a 6 ft square piece of burlap for your torso, another 3 ft for each arm and 6ft by 3 ft for the legs, you'll want the burlap in a light brown to tan color, which makes up the base coloring of your setup. then get yourself a LOAD of mid weight hemp rope from walley world. after your sew together your guille top and pants you'll go between the the weaves of the burlap with your hemp. make shure to cut the burlap to fit loosely after you stich it together. tie knots in the ends of 8 inch cut sections of the hemp, and air spray over them quick light coats of color ranging from black base to yellow, then pass the untied ends thru the breaks in the burlap and tie another knot where the hemp comes thru the burlap. after that all you have to do it fray the hemp rope and put a dab of superglue at the base of each strand where it comes out of the base of the suit... this is how my father and grandfather taught me, both proud members of the corps

its a long and involved process, but looks far better than anything retail

Look for a place called "cheaper than dirt ". They get a lot of military stuff. ranging from old to new.

and you can get one of them sutes pritty cheap, cheaper than making one.
