{{Reference Information|item=prop}}
A set of detailed notes researching the original {{{item|prop or costume}}}.
Like many props, the original trilogy bowcasters were built from vintage firearms rented from [http://www.bapty.co.uk Bapty & Company] in the UK.

[https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/anh-esb-bowcaster.333128/ ANH/TESB Differences]

===The Crossbow===

#According to Peter Mayhew, there was one bowcaster that was modified throughout the production of the original trilogy. Eventually this was sold (along with a number of other props) to private collectors.
#According to lonepigeon and Jason Joiner of the [http://www.kurtzjoinerarchive.com Kurtz/Joiner Archive], Bapty & Company sold the original bowcaster (or what was left of it) to Jason Joiner years ago.
#Jason Joiner says there are no markings of any kind that would indicate the make or model of the base crossbow and that the bowcaster had been stripped of its parts, save for the balls at the end of the limbs. The rubber balls are rotting due to their age.

====The Horton Magnum====

#According to kurtyboy of the RPF, the correct base crossbow is the Horton Magnum, a plastic-coated aluminum crossbow with a 125 lbs. recurve that was produced by Horton Crossbows during the 60's and/or 70's. Only a few fans have managed to acquire the crossbow, and comparisons between it and the photos of the screen used bowcaster prove beyond a doubt that it is the correct crossbow, including the bow prod. They occasionally turn up on [http://www.gunstar.co.uk Gunstar] and sell for anywhere from £120 to £1000. Sometimes the crossbow has a sticker identifying it as a Horton product, but not always. The sticker doesn't list the model name. This makes finding it on auction sites difficult; you have to scan through them and look at the photos.
#In May of 2007 I contacted Bernard Horton and referred him to the bowcaster reference images in this guide. He was convinced that the correct crossbow was a skeleton-stocked, military-style crossbow that he made for the SinglePoint Company that was looking for a product to demonstrate their new scope. It was die cast aluminum and nylon coated, and approximately 12,000 to 15,000 were produced in the early to mid 70's.

==== The Gunmark Crossbow ====

# Eventually, an offshoot of the SinglePoint Company called Gunmark was founded by Bjorn Waktare (a director of SinglePoint) and sold the Horton Magnum crossbows to civilians, mostly in Europe. The crossbows were simply called "Gunmark Crossbows" according to Mr. Horton, and the company was based in Winchester, UK. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/bowcaster-parts-872/index7.html#post340659 Source 1], [http://www.therpf.com/f9/bowcaster-parts-872/index7.html#post354817 Source 2]

==== Lillywhites ====

# [https://www.lillywhites.com/ Lillywhites], a UK sporting goods store, apparently also sold the former Horton Magnum under their own brand as well. [https://www.therpf.com/forums/members/papermaker.211561/ Papermaker] apparently found one several years back. He speculates that the Horton Magnum did not sell particularly well when introduced, and ended up being wholesaled to any number of smaller retailers, who branded it as their own.

==== The Horton Safari Magnum ====
#In 2005 the Horton Safari Magnum was discovered by members of the RPF and has since become a common crossbow for conversions. It is the correct size and shape, but it made of plastic and has a solid stock. It is commonly available on eBay for ~$150.

====The Horton Monarch Supreme====

#The Horton Safari Magnum is so close to the bowcaster that many became convinced that the bowcaster was built on an earlier Horton Crossbow. After looking at pictures of the bowcaster, Michelle at Horton Crossbows is 95% sure that the bowcaster was a Horton based on certain signature details that are common to Horton crossbows.
#This prompted kurtyboy to contact Horton USA who said that the base crossbow was definitely a very old Horton that was a predecessor to the Safari Magnum. It had an aluminum frame and Horton USA was only in possession of one at the time kurtyboy contacted them and it was not for sale.
#I followed up on this by asking Horton what model crossbow they were referring to, and my message was forwarded to Bernard Horton himself who said it was called the Horton Monarch Supreme and was made in the late 60's and early 70's in Wales. Only about 3,000 were ever produced.
#However, in May of 2007 I contacted Mr. Horton again and referred him to the bowcaster reference images in this guide. He was convinced that the correct crossbow is not the Monarch Supreme but a skeleton-stocked, military-style crossbow that he made for the SinglePoint Company that was looking for a product to demonstrate their new scope.

====The Barnett Commando Crossbow====

#Before the discovery of the Horton Magnum and Magnum Safari crossbows, the Barnett Commando Crossbow was a popular base for bowcaster replicas. Randy5000 claimed he had a “secret contact” at Lucasfilm that told him the Bowcaster was based on a Barnett Commando Crossbow. While close, numerous fans, including kurtyboy, have determined that the Barnett is too large.
#The Barnett was later used as the base crossbow for the [[Sequel Trilogy Bowcaster]].

==== The Champagne Champion Crossbow ====
#For years it was commonly claimed that the base crossbow was the "Champagne Champion Crossbow." In 2005, Macklin claimed that the source of the information was Jeff Ritzmann, a prop/costume guy and 501st member, with whom he spoke in 1999. According to Macklin, Mr. Ritzmann claimed to have done some research and not only discovered the basis of the crossbow, but also found one. However, over the years no one has found any evidence to support the existence of the Champagne Champion Crossbow or the company that made it. Macklin says that Ritzmann said it was "ultra rare."
#[https://www.therpf.com/forums/members/papermaker.211561/ Papermaker] speculates that the Horton Magnum did not sell particularly well when introduced, and ended up being wholesaled to any number of smaller retailers, who branded it as their own. Champagne may have been one such brand.

=== Scopes===

====Center Scope====

#The correct scope is the cone tipped Single Point Scope, a scope commonly used on Star Wars props, including the DH-17, Biker Scout Blaster, and Hoth and Endor trooper blaster rifles.
# According to Chris R/Mr Sparkle, this scope has the cheap snap-on plastic covers normally only found on the round tip Single Point Scope. Most cone tipped Single Point scopes have knurled, screw-on adjustment covers. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/bowcaster-parts-872/index6.html#post180784 Source]
#The tip is the clear version, not the frosted version, as clearly seen in the photos. Many old scopes have become cloudy with age, but can apparently be cleaned.
#The targeting rod is the red version, not the green version. It has also been adjusted to be centered.
#The single point scope is pointed to the bowcaster body via a set of NcStar 1" RB17 scope rings.
# The single point scope is posited in the scope rings with one of the adjustment knobs facing down and the other on the left hand side.

====Side Scopes====

#According to lonepigeon, the correct scope is the Original Model 7 4x20 scope; the same scope used on the Dr. Evazan blaster.
#According to intwenothor, the "Original" brand is merely a re-brand of the German "Diana" brand. [https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/original-model-7-4x20-scope-telescopic-sight-found-part.191095/ Source]
#intwenothor says that the locking ring on the Model 7 is metal, whereas most other 4x20 scopes have plastic locking rings. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/original-model-7-4x20-scope-telescopic-sight-found-part-191095/ Source]
#intwenothor explained that there were several variants of the Model 7 scope. Some are short and some are long. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/original-model-7-4x20-scope-telescopic-sight-found-part-191095/ Source]
#The correct length of the Model 7 scope used on the bowcaster is 11.5"
#Some variants have a quality control sticker on the objective bell. Others have one on the body of the scope. Many have no stickers at all. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/original-model-7-4x20-scope-telescopic-sight-found-part-191095/ Source]
#In some screen shots from Return of the Jedi there is what appears to be a sticker or logo on the body of the left scope. This sticker is not present in the ANH crossbow.
#Some have different information written on the eyepiece.
#On the Evazan blaster Model 7 variants, the following text can be found on the eyepiece:
#*Model 7
#*ORIGINAL
#* 4x20
#* Fixed Reticle
#* Coated
#* [small "S" within circle logo].
# Reference photos of the Dr. Evazan blaster clearly show the Model 7 markings listed above. However, these markings are not visible in the scant reference photos of the bowcaster, so any 11.5" variant of the Original Model 7 or even any of the various clones of the Model 7 scope are all acceptable.
#Some variants don't have the S circle logo. Others say say "JAPAN" instead.
# According to research by intwenothor, several other scope manufacturers made scopes identical to the Original Model 7 scope; with the only difference being the writing on the eyepiece, obviously. These include the Rhino Model 204 as well as scopes made by Sussex Armoury, Zenisson, and Hunter. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/original-model-7-4x20-scope-telescopic-sight-found-part-191095/ Source]
#According to lonepigeon, the two flanking scopes attach to the single-point scope via the scope rings. The screw in the Single Point scope rings thread through the side scope rings.
#Various fans have suggested that the scopes are the Boba Fett scopes, a pair of ASI 4x20's or even a cheap scope from a Remington Arms Model 7 hunting rifle. None of these are the correct scope.

===Bow Prod/Limbs===

# According to kurtyboy the prod included with the Horton Magnum is the correct prod.
#The ANH Bowcaster did not have the crossbow string on the bow. In the Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi bowcaster, the string is present.
#The bowstring is also present during the bowcaster's brief appearance in the Star Wars Holiday Special.

===Barrel===

# According to Macklin, the barrel is 5/8 inches in diameter.
# kurtyboy’s scaling work reveals a 310mm barrel length (plus whatever is in the barrel mount block), with 1/16” thick tubing. Post in thread 'cancelled, Star wars anh chewbacca bowcaster run' <nowiki>https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/cancelled-star-wars-anh-chewbacca-bowcaster-run.288779/post-4523309</nowiki>

=== Barrel Mount Block ===

# There is a block underneath the scopes that the rear of the barrel mounts to.
# odiwan72 has suggested that the barrel, barrel mount block and the barrel support resemble a crossbow "goat's foot" cocking lever, similar to a Barnett "Goat's Foot" cocking lever. It makes sense that the cocking lever, an essential piece of crossbow hardware, would have come into Bapty's possession together and would have been used. If it is a cocking lever, it is likely of Horton manufacture.

=== Barrel Brackets ===

==== A New Hope version ====

# The base of the barrel is attached to a Y-shaped lever of some kind that attaches to the scope mount. It appears to be about 1/4" thick and made of metal.

==== Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi version ====

# There are no lever shaped pieces surrounding the scope mounts on the Empire/Jedi version; the barrel just ends underneath the single point scope.

=== Barrel Support ===

====A New Hope version====

# On the ANH bowcaster, there is a long metal piece that the barrel goes through behind the front sight, with another barrel-sized hole directly beneath it. The bottom of this piece appears to have a hinge of some kind. I have dubbed this piece the barrel support. This piece is much wider at the base/hinge and gets narrow towards the top where the barrel goes through.

====Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi version====

#On the TESB/ROTJ bowcaster, the barrel support has a more consistent width than the ANH version. There is still a hinge of some kind at the base. The hole is much lower; closer to the hinge than the ANH barrel support. It also looks to be smaller than the hole the barrel goes through.

=== Front Sight Guard===

====A New Hope version====
[[File:Bowcaster anh sight-guard.png|alt=Collage of images of the front sight guard on the ANH bowcaster|none|thumb]]
#As of January 2021, the original source item for this part has not been identified.
#The part resembles the sight protectors/sight guards of various World War II European rifles.
#According to Ripcode of The Dented Helmet, the front sight on the bowcaster is an Enfield No. 4's sight protector. ([http://www.therpf.com/f9/bowcaster-parts-872/index5.html#post123691 Source]) However, both GotWookiee and lonepigeon have found these for sale, and while they look close, they are not a match. [http://www.therpf.com/f9/bowcaster-parts-872/index5.html#post123840 Source]
#The ANH sight looks somewhat similar to an Enfield sight; it has a flat top and a split in the center. Two bent arms or wings are attached to it.
#A Datsun swaybar bushing has been put forward as a possible candidate, with the "ears" being bolted on by the production crew.

====Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi version====

#The TESB/ROTJ slightly is different; it is solid and round with no split or flat top. The arms/wings appear to be straight. They also appear to be part of the sight, rather than bolted on like the ANH version.

===Balls ===

#There are two large spheres at the front end of the crossbow. According to jedivigneri, Peter Mayhew claims that the balls are racquetball painted black. According to Macklin, who did some scaling of the bowcaster based on hi-rez reference images, the balls are 2.375 inches in diameter, making racquetball the correct size.
#The balls have visible seems that run parallel to the body of the crossbow.
#According to creiff, the end balls are a solid dense foam ball which can be found at toy stores. There is a seam-line and they are 2.5" in diameter.

===Sling===

#When Chewie wears his bowcaster on his shoulder, he slings over his right shoulder with the barrel and limbs facing up. This is the opposite shoulder that his bandolier rests on.

====A New Hope version====

#The ANH sling appears to be wider than the thickness of the bowcaster body, probably about 2” wide.
#According to TK818, the ANH Bowcaster used a 2 inch wide nylon medical bag strap, the same as the Aliens Pulse Rifle.
#The correct sling is a British MKVI Gasmask Bag Neck Strap.

====Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi version====

#Screenshots from TESB and ROTJ show a much narrower sling, approx. 1” wide.
#According to TK818, the ESB/ROTJ sling is a 1¼ inches wide M-1 style sling.

===Knobs, Dials, & Discs===

#All information on the discs and dials on the side panels are based on the ANH bowcaster. In all photos of the Empire/Jedi bowcaster, the sides are obscured by Chewie's hair.
#All discs and dials are held in place with a flat pan head screw with a diameter of 7mm.

==== Trigger Discs ====
#There are two large tapered discs on each side of the bowcaster. They are directly above the trigger and are in exactly the same spot on both sides. These discs are only on the ANH version, not on the Empire/Jedi version. According to kurtyboy, these are both pieces from a JA Michel turntable, either from a sweep arm or stylus brush, and are extremely hard to find.
#The trigger discs are fastened with a #10-32 flat pan head screw.
#The trigger discs are 25mm in diameter, 4.1mm thick at the outer edge, and 6mm thick in the center.

==== Right Panel====

#According to kurtyboy, the small skirted knob located at the front of the panel is from hi-fi equipment and can be purchased stand alone from places that sell various knobs and dials. Measurements:
#*Main body:
#**Diameter: 15mm
#**Height: 10mm
#*Skirt:
#** Diameter: 20mm
#**Height: 3mm
#** Height of slope: 2mm
#** Height of skirt base: 1mm
#The large flat disc located at the top and a matching disc located near the bottom are unidentified. Possibly these are from JA Michel turntables.
#The large skirted knob located near the middle of the panel is a [http://www.intertexelectronics.com/Philmore-3045-Straight-Knurl-Knob-0-10-Numbers-On-for-14-Shaft-P8580.aspx Philmore 3045 1 1/2" Calibrated knob].
# The notched disc located at the back of the panel is the same disc found on the Imperial officer hats, various belt buckles, and other props and costume pieces. They are parts from 70's era J.A. Michel record turntables.

====Left Panel ====

#The knurled knob near the front of the panel is from a Zorki 1 35mm film camera.
#The 3 notched discs are the same discs found on the Imperial officer hats, various belt buckles, and other props and costume pieces. They are parts from 70's era J.A. Michel record turntables.
#The large knob at the top back end of the panel is a vintage [http://www.tubesandmore.com/products/P-K314-1 Fender "witches hat" knob].
#The fat skirted knob with the hole in the center, located near the middle of the panel, is made up of parts from two different 35mm film cameras. The skirt is from a Zorki 1 35mm camera. There are several variants of this skirt, but you want the one that counts clockwise with a a rivet between the numbers 5 and 10. The knob itself is a diamond knurled film winding knob from a vintage Kodak rf 35mm camera. There are many variants that don't have the correct knob.

===Coiled Cords===

#There are two coiled cords on the bowcaster. One runs around the back of the bowcaster just underneath the scopes and attaches to the same place on either side of the bowcaster. It is near the rear of the gun.
#The second coiled cord is on the right side and plugs into a small electronics plug and the goes back into a small hole a few inches behind it.
# On the ANH bowcaster, the right side coiled cord is smaller than the other one. On the TESB/ROTJ bowcaster, it is the same size.
#The [http://www.partsofsw.com/bowcast.htm Parts of SW Bowcaster Page] claims that it is a Graflex flash cord, however Boba Debt believes that people say Graflex simply because it is common knowledge that the prop builders on the films used Graflex flash tubes for Luke's lightsabres. It could be any type of black coiled cord.
#According to trooper, the large coiled cord that runs around back of the scopes is an old headphone cord. The cable is 4.5mm in diameter and the coil is 14mm in diameter.

Wookiee's go barefoot, but the design of Wookiee feet has changed many times over the years. Additionally, Wookiees stand more than 7 feet tall, so most fan-built costumes incorporate stilts, platform shoes, and lifts to achieve the height.

=== Original Trilogy Feet ===

# According to an interview with Stuart Freeborn in Star Wars Insider Issue #70 (pages 40 through 44), the Chewie costume included 4” lifts on the feet.

==== Brown Feet ====

# These appear to have little or no distinct toes.
# There are five black/dark grey toe nails/claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.
# The shoes appear to be pull on shoes that have a set of shoe laces on both sides of the ankles.
# The hair starts at the base of the ankles.
# There are several tufts of dark grey hair that are not mixed in.
# The toe area of the shoes appear to curve up and do not make contact with the ground.

==== Grey Feet ====

# The flesh color appears to be dark gray. The toe nails are a light cream color.
# There are five toes on each foot that are all roughly human shaped. The big toe is the largest, with each toe progressively smaller and shorter.
# There are five black/dark grey claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.

==== Tour Suit Feet ====

# The flesh color is a medium brown. The toe nails are dark gray or brown.
# These appear to be five long distinctive toes on each foot, but each toe is roughly the same shape as size as the others. There is only a slight curve towards the outside of the feet.
# These clearly use hair from National Fiber Technology, leading some to believe they were built for Revenge of the Sith. However, Chewie wears the same Wookiee feet as all of the other Wookiees in all photos of the ROTS suit.
# They appear to be in great shape, and have only appeared in photos of the suit used in the Star Wars In Concert tour, leading many to believe they are newly constructed for the various archive tours and are not a screen used piece.
# If they are from the original trilogy, then they would have to be from Return of the Jedi, since NFT did not exist until 1979.
# The shoes are laced up the front like tennis shoes. The hair snaps around them and continues all the way up to the tops of the ankles.
# There are five black/dark grey claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.

=== Revenge of the Sith Feet ===

# The flesh color is medium gray with dark gray/black claws.
# The shoes appear to be pull on shoes with no laces and no hair on them.
# There are rows of buttons or snaps on the top and sides of the feet. These are probably used to attach the bottom of the costume to the shoes. Most likely the suit has enough hair fabric to cover the entire foot.
# The front of the foot is covered with a sculpted and cast rubber set of toes. The flesh is grey and the five toes are ambidextrous (the left and right feet are identical, not mirror images of each other).
# Despite their ambidextrous nature, the wrinkly details reveal that the separate sculpts for each foot were made.
# The toes are very distinct and have claws that protrude pretty far out from the toes.

==== Lifts ====
Lifts are padded inserts that push your heels up out of the shoe or boot they are added to.

===== Commercial Lift Inserts =====

==== Platforms ====
Platform shoes or boots have thick soles.

===== DIY Foam Platform Boots =====
For shoes use a pair of sandals. Get sandals with three straps; one over the toes, one over the top of the ankle, and one behind the back of the ankle. When packed away, these take up less space than shoes. They are also more comfortable during warm weather. Thick socks can be worn during cold weather.

Get high-density EPS (extruded polystyrene) foam insulation. This can be found at Home Depot, Lowe's, and other home improvement stores. It comes in 2” wide boards that are either pink or blue. Contractor supply houses may have it even wider.

'''SAFETY NOTE: Be sure to wear a respirator mask and work in a well-ventilated area when working with EPS foam. The fumes are not good for you and the powder you will create when carving and sanding foam should not be inhaled.'''

# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beGXa1TO6vo Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Wookiee Feet!]

====== Carving and Building Your Feet ======
Use the above pattern to carve your feet, but modify the top surface so that it conforms to the contours of your shoes or sandals. If using 2” foam you will want to use three pieces for each foot. Most platform shoes have a “Frankenstein Foot” problem when used for costumes. To avoid this, make sure your shoes or sandals are mounted at an angle that follows the natural slop of the foot, i.e. the heel should be higher up than the toes are, similar to women’s high heel shoes.

For my platforms I used Foam Fusion to glue the three layers of foam together. This can be purchased from Hot Wire Foam Factory. Duck and a number of others have used hot glue. Bear in mind that hot glue will melt the foam to some extent. Whatever adhesive you decide to use be wary of any solvents they may be present and do a test. Many glues often contain slow acting solvents that will dissolve EPS foam over the course of several hours, days, or even months. Avoid glues that require exposure to air in order to dry, as they will not cure.

I used high-temp hot glue to attach my sandals to the platforms. Be sure to fill in any and all gaps between your shoes/sandals and the foam feet.

Once all of the glue has cured, you will need to carve them into proper feet. I carved the basic shapes with my hotwire foam cutter and 4” Drywall Saw, but most of the rounding and fine shaping was done with a Rasp/File combo. For final detail work and smoothing, use sand paper and an electric mouse sander. To remove excess powder, I used duct tape.

If you are going to sculpt and cast your own rubber toes, I recommend you do that now before you coat your foam feet.

====== Coating ======
Once you are finished carving your feet and you have cleaned up your mess, you will need to coat the foam in something durable. Duck and many others have simply used black duct tape. Others have used a variety of paints. I used a substance called “Foam Coat” which creates a durable shell when used on EPS foam. Foam Coat has several additives available that make it stronger and give it different surface properties. I used Bounce to give it a rubbery texture. Bounce is a rubberizer that is best for things like feet and props that will see a lot of wear and tear.

Normally Foam Coat is mixed with water, but for a flexible surface we are mixing it with Bounce instead. Although you can add water to thin the mixture this will dilute the bounce and result in a less flexible surface. You should get at least 16 onces of Bounce. I initially ordered their sample kit which included an 8 ounce bottle of bounce and a 3 pounds.

I worked in batches of 1 cup at a time, mixing ½ cup of Bounce with ½ cup of Foam Coat, and mixing with a paint trowel. Pour the Bounce in first, then mix the Foam Coat powder in after it. Then brush it on with a medium sized paint brush, making sure to keep a thick coating. To dry them I slid some long broom handles through the straps of the sandals and then suspended them between a pair of sawhorses. Full cure time is about 12 hours. You will probably have a few thin spots in the first coat, so go back and touch them up with a second coat. Once the foam coat has cured, sand away any bumps or rough spots so that the foot is as smooth as possible.

====== Adding the Hair ======

==== Stilts ====
Stilts are poles, posts, or pillars that add a great deal of height.

===Suit Construction===

# According to his [http://petermayhew.com/peter.html personal website], Peter Mayhew was 7‘3” tall.
#According to an interview with Stuart Freeborn in Star Wars Insider Issue #70 (pages 40 through 44), the Chewie costume included 4 inch (10.16cm) lifts and the mask's forehead added another 4 inches (10.16cm) in height, making Chewbacca roughly 8 feet tall.
#I have trooped the “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibit three times and have examined the suit on all three occasions. The layer of hair does not appear to be very thick, and the under suit that it is knitted into appears to be the same color as the hair. This is readily apparent in the gray sections of the hair suit; you can see brown underneath the hair.
# According to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20080325095249/http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/chewbacca/?id=bts Chewbacca Behind the Scenes] entry on the Official Site's Databank, "Numerous versions of the suit were made to handle the wear and tear of film making.
#At DragonCon 2007, Peter Mayhew told me that the original suits opened up along the back and that baby powder was sprinkled inside the suit to clean it by absorbing sweat.
#According to the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206103119/http://wookiee.8k.com/bts.html Behind the Scenes page] at Wookiee Net, two suits were made for the Trilogy. One was made for A New Hope and was maintained and repaired for that film and The Empire Strikes Back. An entirely new suit was made for Return of the Jedi.
# According to a [http://www.theforce.net/jedicouncil/interview/mayhew.shtml TheForce.Net Interview with Peter Mayhew], Mayhew used his stunt double for the first and only time in Return of the Jedi when the skiff he is on gets hit and tilts violently. It is likely that a stunt suit was created for this purpose.
#According to the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206103119/http://wookiee.8k.com/bts.html Behind the Scenes page] at Wookiee Net, there was an under suit that had foam padding on the shoulders. Several set photos from Return of the Jedi confirm this.

====Original Trilogy Suits====

#Most of Chewie's hair is a medium to light brown color with dark gray sections at the knees, thighs, shoulders and upper chest, and on the back of his head.
#The dark gray hair goes all the way across his back, but only covers the shoulders on the front.
# The dark hair on his knees only covers the outside half of his legs, not the insides.
#According to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20080325095249/http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/chewbacca/?id=bts Chewbacca Behind the Scenes] entry on the Official Site's Databank, the suit was "made of knitted mohair and yak hair."
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, the original suit "was hand tied, meaning someone took tiny lace fibers and hand-threaded them into thousands of holes."
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, "the original Chewbacca from Lucas' first ‘Star Wars’ film was not made by National Fiber."

====Revenge of the Sith Suits ====

#Fred Fehrmann at [http://www.nftech.com/ National Fiber Technology] said that they had supplied hair for Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and the Chewbacca costume made for Disney Star Wars Weekends. According to Mr. Fehrmann, the correct color for Chewie is Medium Brown and the hair is 10" to 12" (25.4cm to 30.5cm) in length. However, the Medium Brown appears to be too red.
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, for Revenge of the Sith his company provided Lucasfilm with 6 different types of Wookiee hair at an average of 70 to 80 square feet (6.5m2 to 7.4m2) of hair fabric to make each suit. They supplied a total of 1,000 square feet (92.9m2) of Wookiee hair. It took them 5 months to make all of that hair.
#At DragonCon 2003, Peter Mayhew, having just returned from filming Episode 3, explained that they had made 4 suits for him in Revenge of the Sith.
# According to Bob Kohn, the correct NFTech loom code for the Revenge of the '''Sith hair is AJ 2872 Brown, 15" sliver Chewbacca''' for the brown and '''AJ 2873 Grey 15", sliver Chewbacca''' for the grey.

{{Tutorials and Resources|item= costumes}}

=== Hand Knotted Suits===
The most popular method is to use synthetic “Kanekalon” hair extensions which can be purchased inexpensively from beauty supply shops. This method is far less expensive than using hair from National Fiber, but the trade off is that it is extremely time consuming and labor intensive.

#[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAV46au5o1w Blending Hair using a hackle - Wookiee Costume]

====Building the Mesh Suit====
The hair is tied into a suit made of a mesh fabric. It is not that different from building a giant wig. For all of my Wookiee suits I have purchased the mesh at army surplus stores. It is a medium mesh that is camouflaged and comes in unmarked plastic bags and sells for $8 - $10 per bag. I think I needed two or three bags for the full suit.

The great thing about the aquatic mesh is that it won’t mold or mildew from moisture, making maintenance and cleaning much easier. Many fabric stores also carry a mesh fabric but it is very weak and easily torn. Make sure you buy it in a dark color; you don’t want neon green mesh visible through your suit!

The original Chewie costume was a one-piece suit that opened in the back. However, most fan costumers opt to build a shirt and a pair of pants, as it is easier to get in and out of.

[http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=245335#245335 Duck’s tutorial] offers some excellent design tips and drawings on the creation of the mesh suit. Many others have also offered advice on the design of the mesh suit, so here is a list of tips.

#⅔ of your neck sits directly over your chest in the front, while only ⅓ sits over the back behind the shoulders. For this reason, avoid centering your neck hole between the front and back pieces or you’ll end up with exposed skin on your back as the hole shifts backwards.
#Also make the back of the neck hole fairly straight, and keep the neck hole fairly tight, as the mesh does stretch.
#The bottom of the shirt should overlap the pants down to about the crotch and middle of the buttocks in order to facilitate sitting and bending.
#The mesh suit should fit fairly snug in order to keep with Chewie’s lanky and thin build. The hair will add bulk.
#The hair adds a lot of weight, so use suspenders to hold the pants up.

Here are Duck’s excellent drawings. Click to enlarge.
Once you have finished sewing your mesh suit, you will want to mark off where the gray areas will be. Because of the length of the hair, your gray areas will start 8" - 10" down from where you start tying in gray hair. This means your horizontal marks need to be offset to compensate for this. Your vertical marks do not.
==== Getting Your Hair====
The hair to use is Kanekalon synthetic hair, specifically Kanekalon Jumbo Braids. You want the regular Kanekalon Jumbo braids, as these have a matte or "Yaky" finish to them. Avoid hair marked "Silky" as these have a shiny finish. These can be found in beauty supply shops in almost any city. They typically sell for $2.00 to $3.00 per bag in the U.S. The hair comes in a folded braid that, when unfolded, is 48" long.

Kanekalon is a particular material that is sold under many different brands. There are also cheaper types of hair sold at most beauty supply stores. Avoid this hair as it may not match from brand to brand, while the Kanekalon stuff will be the same regardless of who’s logo is on the bag. Kanekalon is also heat resistant, which is important as you blow dry the hair to prepare it.

For the brown sections of the suit you will need to mix colors #6 and #27 in a 30/70 mix. #8 can also be used for highlights. For the grey sections of the suit, you’ll want to do a 30/70 mix of colors #44 and #4. #44 has become increasingly difficult to find, so some have used M51 instead. There are also a variety of other colors listed as gray mixes, so you might try them out.

So how many bags do you need? None of us seem to take detailed notes and just stop counting, but generally most estimates are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 - 60 for the brown areas and maybe another 20 of the gray areas.
====Prepping the Hair====
Before you tie the hair into your mesh suit you will need to do a few things to prepare it first.

You will need to blow dry your hair. When first removed from the package the Kanekalon hair is frizzy and poofy. [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30808 Chris Blackstock’s technique] is to remove the hair from the card backing but leave the rubber bands in place. Place the hair on the floor and use one of your feet to hold the end of the hair in place. Grab the other end with your hand and pull it tight. Use a blow dryer to go up and down the length of the hair until it is smooth. Make sure you flip it around so you can blow dry the end of the hair that your foot was covering. After that you can remove the rubber band and cut the hair to size.

As noted earlier you will need to mix colors. To do this effectively you will need a hackle, a common wig-makers tool that looks like a brush made of nails. Once you have mixed the hair you will want to store the hair in hair drawing cards for future use. This helps keep them from getting tangled and messy, and helps reduce waste.

You can purchase a hackle for about $70 from [http://www.manedepot.com/hair-hackle.html Mane Depot] and [https://www.wigandhairpiecesupply.com/thread-hackle Wig & Hairpiece Supply] or any place that sells wig making supplies. Hair drawing cards are also available for about $40 at [http://www.manedepot.com/hair-drawing-cards.html Mane Depot]. Both [http://hairweftingtape.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=35 HairWeftingTape] and [http://www.amazinghairstore.com/servlet/the-70/Drawing-mat-Skin-pad/Detail Amazing Hair Store] sell hair drawing cards for $30 each.

However, both items are easy to make yourself, and several Wookiee costumers have explained how to do it. Check out [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25171 Limey’s excellent hackle construction tutorial] or [http://chewiechanga.blogspot.com/2010/08/hackle.html Ryan’s tutorial/build diary], which also covers how to build hair drawing cards.

Finally, this excellent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv5wXwuApK4 Discovery Channel video] shows how to use a hackle and drawing cards.

The hair comes in a 48" length that is folded in half. Generally, you will be using 24" strands of hair when you tie hair into the suit. You tie the hair at the midpoint of each strand, so one 24" long hair becomes two 12" strands. For the wrists and forearms, 28" hair should be used. In the upper thighs and crotch, use 18" strands.

As noted earlier, use a 30/70 mix of #27 and #6 for the brown sections with some #8 for highlights, and a mix of #4 and #44 (or #51) for the gray sections. To achieve a 30/70 mix, mix one bag of the first color (#6 for the brown areas, #44 for the grey areas) with two bags of the second color (#27 for the brown areas, #4 for the grey areas).

====Using Hot Glue to attach the hair====
[http://wookiee.de/kostuem.html Alexander from Germany] opted to use hot glue to attach his Wookiee hair to a cotton suit. Years ago when I was first researching my own Wookiee suit I attempted to use this method and found several disadvantages:

# It tends to be slower, because you have to wait for the glue to cool.
#The glue adds a lot of weight.
#Glue is messy; you end up with a lot of "glue strings."
#I also found it very hard to get a high density of hair, which I imagine would be a problem on the arms, shoulders, and knees.

However, one cannot argue with Alexander’s results, so it’s an option you might consider.

====Latch-Hooking the hair====
Once your mesh suit and hair are are ready to go, you can begin the process of latch-hooking hair into the suit. This is a time-consuming and tedious process, and you can expect to spend 100 or more hours on this part of the costume. However, once you have the basic technique mastered, hooking hair into the suit is not especially difficult, and many costumers simply pass the time by watching a movie while they work

As for the technique itself, there are several ways to go about it. The most common way is to buy an actual latch-hook used in rug making and build the suit as you would a shag carpet. There are a number of excellent videos demonstrating the basic technique. Here is one of the better ones:

On my first suit, I opted to use a pair of hemostats, which are locking medical tweezers with a curved nose. However, by the time I made my second suit I had learned how to use the latch-hook properly and found it to be much faster and easier.

#It’s best to use more knots with fewer strands per knot than the opposite, especially areas like the arms, shoulders, and knees.
#On average you should use 7-9 strands of hair per knot, with the knots spaced about ¼" to ½" apart.
# The knots should be arranged in overlapping rows so that the knots on a given row cover the space between the knots on the row below it.
#For the pants, start at the ankle and work your way to the hips or waist. For the shirt, start at the waist and work your way to the armpits, then start the arms at the wrist and work your way to the shoulders, then work the entire hairline to the neck.
#The spacing of your knots should be lower on areas that will bend and move, like the arms, knees, and shoulders. These areas will show bald spots more easily. Areas like the torso will be more forgiving.
#Consider tying hair into your seams in order to cover them and reinforce them.
#As previously mentioned you should use 24" strands of hair for most of the suit. Since you tie the knot in the middle of the strands each 24” strand will become two 12" strands.
#On the forearms, wrists, and hands, use 28" strands.
#On the crotch and upper thighs, 18" strands will suffice.

====Grooming and Trimming the Suit ====
Once you try your suit on for the first time you will notice how bushy it is. This is because there is way too much hair. This is a much better problem to have than not enough hair.

The first thing you need to do is put the suit on and have someone vigorously brush the entire suit with a good hair brush. This will remove any loose hair and remove any tangles. Be careful not to brush too hard, or else you could rip the mesh suit or tear out knots entirely.

Once that is done, it is time to trim the suit with a pair of thinning sheers and your trusty hair brush. Thinning sheers are scissors with teeth in them. When the blades come together, some hair is cut and some is not. They can be purchased at beauty supply shops for $30 or so. Not all thinning sheers are the same. Some will cut more hair than others. Be sure to test yours first before you start on your costume.

To trim, start from the top and work your way down, holding the sheers at an angle. Use a hair brush to remove the clippings. Doing it over a large tarp will help with cleanup.

Once again, Duck has provided us with some excellent instructions on this stage of the costume. First, be sure to check out his illustration below and the [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=274354#274354 Trimming Notes] that go along with it.

There is also a lot of good info in his [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18600 Wookiee Tutorial]. Finally, Duck has a quick YouTube video on Wookiee trimming you should watch:

===National Fiber Technology Suits===
[http://www.nftech.com/ National Fiber Technology] in Massachusetts is the only company on the planet that makes a long hair fabric fur. They supplied the hair for the Wookiees in Revenge of the Sith. The hair is excellent but very expensive. Costs can vary anywhere from $2500 to $3500 depending on how much you need.

Bob Kohn used a body suit pattern, similar to the ones used by Stormtroopers. Plan out your patterns on the suit, then cut the suit based on patterns and fur colors. Bob’s pattern used something like 40-50 pieces to sew back together when finished. Remember to add seam allowance.

Fabric furs have a certain direction that they must hang or lay. This is the fabric’s "nap." The idea is that the hair will all hang down when the finished costume is worn. You will not simply be able to place your pattern pieces wherever there is room; the pattern pieces must have the correct orientation with respect to the nap. This will increase the amount of hair you will need, so plan for this in your patterns and don’t forget about it when you cut.

*Keep the suit as snug as possible while still being easy to get in and out of. Chewie is thinly built and the hair will add bulk.
* Pay special attention to the neck. Make sure most of the neck opening (about ⅔) is on the front.
*Be sure that you have extra hair for your gloves, feet, and especially your mask.
*National Fiber Hair is a 60" wide fabric.
*NFTech hair is a direction or nap that must be respected when drafting your pattern and cutting your fabric; all hair needs to hang down on the finished suit.
*When determining where the seam between the grey and brown areas will occur, remember that the hair will hang 8” - 10” down from that seam. However, seams that run vertically will not have this problem.

====Ordering the Hair====
Most Wookiees choose "medium brown" and "dark grey" and end up with colors that are too red and too light. Bob Kohn made his suit using National Fiber hair and has obtained the correct colors to use. For brown, you want to order '''AJ 2872 Brown, 15" silver Chewbacca''', for the grey you want '''AJ 2873 Grey, 15" silver Chewbacca'''. Bob Kohn estimates that you will need approximately 17 square feet of the grey hair, and 27 square feet of the brown hair. Bob says you will also want to get 1 pound of loose hair of each color for use on your mask.

It’s important to remember that the above numbers are just a loose figure; you need to pattern your suit before you order your hair and order based on that.

====Sewing the Suit ====
Read [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=222979#222979 Kitfox’s discussion of Shawn’s suit]

Also be sure to check out [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=416018#416018 Bob Kohn’s tutorial]

There is no need to trim fur for seam allowance for sewing the suit. When cutting the fabric you want to avoid cutting off large strands of hair, so comb back the fur before you cut it from the bolt and make small cuts. As noted earlier, it is critical that you cut your hair fabric with the correct direction or "nap" in mind; the hair should all hang down on the finished suit.

Bob Kohn learned the hard way that you should NOT use a serger with NFTech fabrics. The heat created by the serger needles melts and breaks down some of the chemicals in the hair; which then attach themselves to the needles and form razor sharp debris that shreds the base fabric. Instead, use a traditional sewing machine and use a wide zigzag stitch. Bob and his wife spent a year repairing the suit after the fact.

==== Grooming the Suit====
Bob Kohn says that the National Fiber Hair is beautiful right off of the bolt, and almost no grooming is required to achieve the distinctive wavy Chewie look. He recommends doing nothing but rolling the suit up and storing it a bag after every troop and cleaning. After 1-2 troops, you will start to see the distinctive wavy look that are you looking for.

====Cleaning the Suit====
The mesh fabric will absorb sweat and begin to stink if not cleaned. The key to keeping the suit clean is to allow the suit to air out immediately after every event, not 12 hours later. Consider hanging it in your car like your dry cleaning or build a collapsible coat rack in your bin. Febreeze is also very helpful. However, these techniques have their limits, and eventually you will need to wash it by hand.

Use a large tub (like a bath tub) and use either NFTech’s hair soap or a mild baby’s shampoo. Bring the water to a light sudsy bubble, then lay the suit in the water, gently agitating it using only your hands; no tools should be used. When the color of the water changes, remove the suit with both hands, bearing in mind that it will be quite heavy due to all the water it has absorbed. Replace the water and soap, and put the suit back in and continue to wash it gently with your hands. Repeat this process until the water no longer changes color. The color is the combined grime of sweat, rain, Febreeze, hair spray, and who knows what else coming off of the hair.

Once the suit is clean you will need to rinse the soap. Fill the tub with water as before but do not add any shampoo or detergent. Put the suit and gently agitate it with your hands. Empty the tub and repeat this process until there is no more soap left in the suit.

To dry, gently lay the suit down on a bunch of towels and pat dry the suit with another towel. Do not be aggressive; this is not your dog that are drying. Flip the suit and repeat, replacing towels as you go. Once the suit has been sufficiently hand-dried and it is no longer heavy with the weight of all that water, hang the suit and allow it to air dry. It’s important to towel dry first; hanging the heavy, water-logged suit could damage it. Bob Kohn uses a clothesline on a sunny/light breezy day. If you live in a humid or wet climate, consider using a large fan. Avoid blow drying as you could damage the suit.

===Faux Fur===
Faux fur doesn't work, not long enough. More notes to follow.

===Rubies Costumes Supreme Edition Chewbacca===
Passable with extensive modification in the past, but more expensive than other methods and still a lot of work for a mediocre result. Not accepted by the 501st or Rebel Legions. Also, Rubies went out of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

===Anovos Chewbacca===
Anovos had a prototype commissioned a few years back and showed it off at San Diego Comic Con. They decided not to pursue it as a commercial project.

Wookiee's go barefoot, but the design of Wookiee feet has changed many times over the years. Additionally, Wookiees stand more than 7 feet tall, so most fan-built costumes incorporate stilts, platform shoes, and lifts to achieve the height.

=== Original Trilogy Feet ===

# According to an interview with Stuart Freeborn in Star Wars Insider Issue #70 (pages 40 through 44), the Chewie costume included 4” lifts on the feet.

==== Brown Feet ====

# These appear to have little or no distinct toes.
# There are five black/dark grey toe nails/claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.
# The shoes appear to be pull on shoes that have a set of shoe laces on both sides of the ankles.
# The hair starts at the base of the ankles.
# There are several tufts of dark grey hair that are not mixed in.
# The toe area of the shoes appear to curve up and do not make contact with the ground.

==== Grey Feet ====

# The flesh color appears to be dark gray. The toe nails are a light cream color.
# There are five toes on each foot that are all roughly human shaped. The big toe is the largest, with each toe progressively smaller and shorter.
# There are five black/dark grey claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.

==== Tour Suit Feet ====

# The flesh color is a medium brown. The toe nails are dark gray or brown.
# These appear to be five long distinctive toes on each foot, but each toe is roughly the same shape as size as the others. There is only a slight curve towards the outside of the feet.
# These clearly use hair from National Fiber Technology, leading some to believe they were built for Revenge of the Sith. However, Chewie wears the same Wookiee feet as all of the other Wookiees in all photos of the ROTS suit.
# They appear to be in great shape, and have only appeared in photos of the suit used in the Star Wars In Concert tour, leading many to believe they are newly constructed for the various archive tours and are not a screen used piece.
# If they are from the original trilogy, then they would have to be from Return of the Jedi, since NFT did not exist until 1979.
# The shoes are laced up the front like tennis shoes. The hair snaps around them and continues all the way up to the tops of the ankles.
# There are five black/dark grey claws. They are curved against the shape of the foot, and do not stick out like most monster feet.

=== Revenge of the Sith Feet ===

# The flesh color is medium gray with dark gray/black claws.
# The shoes appear to be pull on shoes with no laces and no hair on them.
# There are rows of buttons or snaps on the top and sides of the feet. These are probably used to attach the bottom of the costume to the shoes. Most likely the suit has enough hair fabric to cover the entire foot.
# The front of the foot is covered with a sculpted and cast rubber set of toes. The flesh is grey and the five toes are ambidextrous (the left and right feet are identical, not mirror images of each other).
# Despite their ambidextrous nature, the wrinkly details reveal that the separate sculpts for each foot were made.
# The toes are very distinct and have claws that protrude pretty far out from the toes.

===== DIY Foam Platform Boots =====
For shoes use a pair of sandals. Get sandals with three straps; one over the toes, one over the top of the ankle, and one behind the back of the ankle. When packed away, these take up less space than shoes. They are also more comfortable during warm weather. Thick socks can be worn during cold weather.

Get high-density EPS (extruded polystyrene) foam insulation. This can be found at Home Depot, Lowe's, and other home improvement stores. It comes in 2” wide boards that are either pink or blue. Contractor supply houses may have it even wider.

'''SAFETY NOTE: Be sure to wear a respirator mask and work in a well-ventilated area when working with EPS foam. The fumes are not good for you and the powder you will create when carving and sanding foam should not be inhaled.'''

# [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beGXa1TO6vo Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Wookiee Feet!]

====== Carving and Building Your Feet ======
Use the above pattern to carve your feet, but modify the top surface so that it conforms to the contours of your shoes or sandals. If using 2” foam you will want to use three pieces for each foot. Most platform shoes have a “Frankenstein Foot” problem when used for costumes. To avoid this, make sure your shoes or sandals are mounted at an angle that follows the natural slop of the foot, i.e. the heel should be higher up than the toes are, similar to women’s high heel shoes.

For my platforms I used Foam Fusion to glue the three layers of foam together. This can be purchased from Hot Wire Foam Factory. Duck and a number of others have used hot glue. Bear in mind that hot glue will melt the foam to some extent. Whatever adhesive you decide to use be wary of any solvents they may be present and do a test. Many glues often contain slow acting solvents that will dissolve EPS foam over the course of several hours, days, or even months. Avoid glues that require exposure to air in order to dry, as they will not cure.

I used high-temp hot glue to attach my sandals to the platforms. Be sure to fill in any and all gaps between your shoes/sandals and the foam feet.

Once all of the glue has cured, you will need to carve them into proper feet. I carved the basic shapes with my hotwire foam cutter and 4” Drywall Saw, but most of the rounding and fine shaping was done with a Rasp/File combo. For final detail work and smoothing, use sand paper and an electric mouse sander. To remove excess powder, I used duct tape.

If you are going to sculpt and cast your own rubber toes, I recommend you do that now before you coat your foam feet.

====== Coating ======
Once you are finished carving your feet and you have cleaned up your mess, you will need to coat the foam in something durable. Duck and many others have simply used black duct tape. Others have used a variety of paints. I used a substance called “Foam Coat” which creates a durable shell when used on EPS foam. Foam Coat has several additives available that make it stronger and give it different surface properties. I used Bounce to give it a rubbery texture. Bounce is a rubberizer that is best for things like feet and props that will see a lot of wear and tear.

Normally Foam Coat is mixed with water, but for a flexible surface we are mixing it with Bounce instead. Although you can add water to thin the mixture this will dilute the bounce and result in a less flexible surface. You should get at least 16 onces of Bounce. I initially ordered their sample kit which included an 8 ounce bottle of bounce and a 3 pounds.

I worked in batches of 1 cup at a time, mixing ½ cup of Bounce with ½ cup of Foam Coat, and mixing with a paint trowel. Pour the Bounce in first, then mix the Foam Coat powder in after it. Then brush it on with a medium sized paint brush, making sure to keep a thick coating. To dry them I slid some long broom handles through the straps of the sandals and then suspended them between a pair of sawhorses. Full cure time is about 12 hours. You will probably have a few thin spots in the first coat, so go back and touch them up with a second coat. Once the foam coat has cured, sand away any bumps or rough spots so that the foot is as smooth as possible.

===Suit Construction===

# According to his [http://petermayhew.com/peter.html personal website], Peter Mayhew was 7‘3” tall.
#According to an interview with Stuart Freeborn in Star Wars Insider Issue #70 (pages 40 through 44), the Chewie costume included 4 inch (10.16cm) lifts and the mask's forehead added another 4 inches (10.16cm) in height, making Chewbacca roughly 8 feet tall.
#I have trooped the “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibit three times and have examined the suit on all three occasions. The layer of hair does not appear to be very thick, and the under suit that it is knitted into appears to be the same color as the hair. This is readily apparent in the gray sections of the hair suit; you can see brown underneath the hair.
# According to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20080325095249/http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/chewbacca/?id=bts Chewbacca Behind the Scenes] entry on the Official Site's Databank, "Numerous versions of the suit were made to handle the wear and tear of film making.
#At DragonCon 2007, Peter Mayhew told me that the original suits opened up along the back and that baby powder was sprinkled inside the suit to clean it by absorbing sweat.
#According to the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206103119/http://wookiee.8k.com/bts.html Behind the Scenes page] at Wookiee Net, two suits were made for the Trilogy. One was made for A New Hope and was maintained and repaired for that film and The Empire Strikes Back. An entirely new suit was made for Return of the Jedi.
# According to a [http://www.theforce.net/jedicouncil/interview/mayhew.shtml TheForce.Net Interview with Peter Mayhew], Mayhew used his stunt double for the first and only time in Return of the Jedi when the skiff he is on gets hit and tilts violently. It is likely that a stunt suit was created for this purpose.
#According to the [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206103119/http://wookiee.8k.com/bts.html Behind the Scenes page] at Wookiee Net, there was an under suit that had foam padding on the shoulders. Several set photos from Return of the Jedi confirm this.

====Original Trilogy Suits====

#Most of Chewie's hair is a medium to light brown color with dark gray sections at the knees, thighs, shoulders and upper chest, and on the back of his head.
#The dark gray hair goes all the way across his back, but only covers the shoulders on the front.
# The dark hair on his knees only covers the outside half of his legs, not the insides.
#According to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20080325095249/http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/chewbacca/?id=bts Chewbacca Behind the Scenes] entry on the Official Site's Databank, the suit was "made of knitted mohair and yak hair."
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, the original suit "was hand tied, meaning someone took tiny lace fibers and hand-threaded them into thousands of holes."
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, "the original Chewbacca from Lucas' first ‘Star Wars’ film was not made by National Fiber."

====Revenge of the Sith Suits ====

#Fred Fehrmann at [http://www.nftech.com/ National Fiber Technology] said that they had supplied hair for Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and the Chewbacca costume made for Disney Star Wars Weekends. According to Mr. Fehrmann, the correct color for Chewie is Medium Brown and the hair is 10" to 12" (25.4cm to 30.5cm) in length. However, the Medium Brown appears to be too red.
#According to an [https://web.archive.org/web/20120103183717/http://www.ecnnews.com/cgi-bin/05/etarchivestory.pl?200505+fn-BU_001.htm-20050508 interview with Fred Fehrmann] of National Fiber Technology, for Revenge of the Sith his company provided Lucasfilm with 6 different types of Wookiee hair at an average of 70 to 80 square feet (6.5m2 to 7.4m2) of hair fabric to make each suit. They supplied a total of 1,000 square feet (92.9m2) of Wookiee hair. It took them 5 months to make all of that hair.
#At DragonCon 2003, Peter Mayhew, having just returned from filming Episode 3, explained that they had made 4 suits for him in Revenge of the Sith.
# According to Bob Kohn, the correct NFTech loom code for the Revenge of the '''Sith hair is AJ 2872 Brown, 15" sliver Chewbacca''' for the brown and '''AJ 2873 Grey 15", sliver Chewbacca''' for the grey.

====Sequel Trilogy/Solo Suits ====

====Holiday Special Suits====

==Materials & Construction Techniques==

=== Hand Knotted Suits===
The most popular method is to use synthetic “Kanekalon” hair extensions which can be purchased inexpensively from beauty supply shops. This method is far less expensive than using hair from National Fiber, but the trade off is that it is extremely time consuming and labor intensive.

#[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAV46au5o1w Blending Hair using a hackle - Wookiee Costume]

====Building the Mesh Suit====
The hair is tied into a suit made of a mesh fabric. It is not that different from building a giant wig. For all of my Wookiee suits I have purchased the mesh at army surplus stores. It is a medium mesh that is camouflaged and comes in unmarked plastic bags and sells for $8 - $10 per bag. I think I needed two or three bags for the full suit.

The great thing about the aquatic mesh is that it won’t mold or mildew from moisture, making maintenance and cleaning much easier. Many fabric stores also carry a mesh fabric but it is very weak and easily torn. Make sure you buy it in a dark color; you don’t want neon green mesh visible through your suit!

The original Chewie costume was a one-piece suit that opened in the back. However, most fan costumers opt to build a shirt and a pair of pants, as it is easier to get in and out of.

[http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=245335#245335 Duck’s tutorial] offers some excellent design tips and drawings on the creation of the mesh suit. Many others have also offered advice on the design of the mesh suit, so here is a list of tips.

#⅔ of your neck sits directly over your chest in the front, while only ⅓ sits over the back behind the shoulders. For this reason, avoid centering your neck hole between the front and back pieces or you’ll end up with exposed skin on your back as the hole shifts backwards.
#Also make the back of the neck hole fairly straight, and keep the neck hole fairly tight, as the mesh does stretch.
#The bottom of the shirt should overlap the pants down to about the crotch and middle of the buttocks in order to facilitate sitting and bending.
#The mesh suit should fit fairly snug in order to keep with Chewie’s lanky and thin build. The hair will add bulk.
#The hair adds a lot of weight, so use suspenders to hold the pants up.

Here are Duck’s excellent drawings. Click to enlarge.
Once you have finished sewing your mesh suit, you will want to mark off where the gray areas will be. Because of the length of the hair, your gray areas will start 8" - 10" down from where you start tying in gray hair. This means your horizontal marks need to be offset to compensate for this. Your vertical marks do not.
==== Getting Your Hair====
The hair to use is Kanekalon synthetic hair, specifically Kanekalon Jumbo Braids. You want the regular Kanekalon Jumbo braids, as these have a matte or "Yaky" finish to them. Avoid hair marked "Silky" as these have a shiny finish. These can be found in beauty supply shops in almost any city. They typically sell for $2.00 to $3.00 per bag in the U.S. The hair comes in a folded braid that, when unfolded, is 48" long.

Kanekalon is a particular material that is sold under many different brands. There are also cheaper types of hair sold at most beauty supply stores. Avoid this hair as it may not match from brand to brand, while the Kanekalon stuff will be the same regardless of who’s logo is on the bag. Kanekalon is also heat resistant, which is important as you blow dry the hair to prepare it.

For the brown sections of the suit you will need to mix colors #6 and #27 in a 30/70 mix. #8 can also be used for highlights. For the grey sections of the suit, you’ll want to do a 30/70 mix of colors #44 and #4. #44 has become increasingly difficult to find, so some have used M51 instead. There are also a variety of other colors listed as gray mixes, so you might try them out.

So how many bags do you need? None of us seem to take detailed notes and just stop counting, but generally most estimates are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 - 60 for the brown areas and maybe another 20 of the gray areas.
====Prepping the Hair====
Before you tie the hair into your mesh suit you will need to do a few things to prepare it first.

You will need to blow dry your hair. When first removed from the package the Kanekalon hair is frizzy and poofy. [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30808 Chris Blackstock’s technique] is to remove the hair from the card backing but leave the rubber bands in place. Place the hair on the floor and use one of your feet to hold the end of the hair in place. Grab the other end with your hand and pull it tight. Use a blow dryer to go up and down the length of the hair until it is smooth. Make sure you flip it around so you can blow dry the end of the hair that your foot was covering. After that you can remove the rubber band and cut the hair to size.

As noted earlier you will need to mix colors. To do this effectively you will need a hackle, a common wig-makers tool that looks like a brush made of nails. Once you have mixed the hair you will want to store the hair in hair drawing cards for future use. This helps keep them from getting tangled and messy, and helps reduce waste.

You can purchase a hackle for about $70 from [http://www.manedepot.com/hair-hackle.html Mane Depot] and [https://www.wigandhairpiecesupply.com/thread-hackle Wig & Hairpiece Supply] or any place that sells wig making supplies. Hair drawing cards are also available for about $40 at [http://www.manedepot.com/hair-drawing-cards.html Mane Depot]. Both [http://hairweftingtape.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=35 HairWeftingTape] and [http://www.amazinghairstore.com/servlet/the-70/Drawing-mat-Skin-pad/Detail Amazing Hair Store] sell hair drawing cards for $30 each.

However, both items are easy to make yourself, and several Wookiee costumers have explained how to do it. Check out [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25171 Limey’s excellent hackle construction tutorial] or [http://chewiechanga.blogspot.com/2010/08/hackle.html Ryan’s tutorial/build diary], which also covers how to build hair drawing cards.

Finally, this excellent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv5wXwuApK4 Discovery Channel video] shows how to use a hackle and drawing cards.

The hair comes in a 48" length that is folded in half. Generally, you will be using 24" strands of hair when you tie hair into the suit. You tie the hair at the midpoint of each strand, so one 24" long hair becomes two 12" strands. For the wrists and forearms, 28" hair should be used. In the upper thighs and crotch, use 18" strands.

As noted earlier, use a 30/70 mix of #27 and #6 for the brown sections with some #8 for highlights, and a mix of #4 and #44 (or #51) for the gray sections. To achieve a 30/70 mix, mix one bag of the first color (#6 for the brown areas, #44 for the grey areas) with two bags of the second color (#27 for the brown areas, #4 for the grey areas).

====Using Hot Glue to attach the hair====
[http://wookiee.de/kostuem.html Alexander from Germany] opted to use hot glue to attach his Wookiee hair to a cotton suit. Years ago when I was first researching my own Wookiee suit I attempted to use this method and found several disadvantages:

# It tends to be slower, because you have to wait for the glue to cool.
#The glue adds a lot of weight.
#Glue is messy; you end up with a lot of "glue strings."
#I also found it very hard to get a high density of hair, which I imagine would be a problem on the arms, shoulders, and knees.

However, one cannot argue with Alexander’s results, so it’s an option you might consider.

====Latch-Hooking the hair====
Once your mesh suit and hair are are ready to go, you can begin the process of latch-hooking hair into the suit. This is a time-consuming and tedious process, and you can expect to spend 100 or more hours on this part of the costume. However, once you have the basic technique mastered, hooking hair into the suit is not especially difficult, and many costumers simply pass the time by watching a movie while they work

As for the technique itself, there are several ways to go about it. The most common way is to buy an actual latch-hook used in rug making and build the suit as you would a shag carpet. There are a number of excellent videos demonstrating the basic technique. Here is one of the better ones:

On my first suit, I opted to use a pair of hemostats, which are locking medical tweezers with a curved nose. However, by the time I made my second suit I had learned how to use the latch-hook properly and found it to be much faster and easier.

#It’s best to use more knots with fewer strands per knot than the opposite, especially areas like the arms, shoulders, and knees.
#On average you should use 7-9 strands of hair per knot, with the knots spaced about ¼" to ½" apart.
# The knots should be arranged in overlapping rows so that the knots on a given row cover the space between the knots on the row below it.
#For the pants, start at the ankle and work your way to the hips or waist. For the shirt, start at the waist and work your way to the armpits, then start the arms at the wrist and work your way to the shoulders, then work the entire hairline to the neck.
#The spacing of your knots should be lower on areas that will bend and move, like the arms, knees, and shoulders. These areas will show bald spots more easily. Areas like the torso will be more forgiving.
#Consider tying hair into your seams in order to cover them and reinforce them.
#As previously mentioned you should use 24" strands of hair for most of the suit. Since you tie the knot in the middle of the strands each 24” strand will become two 12" strands.
#On the forearms, wrists, and hands, use 28" strands.
#On the crotch and upper thighs, 18" strands will suffice.

====Grooming and Trimming the Suit ====
Once you try your suit on for the first time you will notice how bushy it is. This is because there is way too much hair. This is a much better problem to have than not enough hair.

The first thing you need to do is put the suit on and have someone vigorously brush the entire suit with a good hair brush. This will remove any loose hair and remove any tangles. Be careful not to brush too hard, or else you could rip the mesh suit or tear out knots entirely.

Once that is done, it is time to trim the suit with a pair of thinning sheers and your trusty hair brush. Thinning sheers are scissors with teeth in them. When the blades come together, some hair is cut and some is not. They can be purchased at beauty supply shops for $30 or so. Not all thinning sheers are the same. Some will cut more hair than others. Be sure to test yours first before you start on your costume.

To trim, start from the top and work your way down, holding the sheers at an angle. Use a hair brush to remove the clippings. Doing it over a large tarp will help with cleanup.

Once again, Duck has provided us with some excellent instructions on this stage of the costume. First, be sure to check out his illustration below and the [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=274354#274354 Trimming Notes] that go along with it.

There is also a lot of good info in his [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18600 Wookiee Tutorial]. Finally, Duck has a quick YouTube video on Wookiee trimming you should watch:

===Wefted Hair Suits===
New method using glued on hair wefts. Wefts are hair extensions that come pre-sewn to a strip of cloth. Steve Bornhoeft used human hair wefts to build his first suit.

===National Fiber Technology Suits===
[http://www.nftech.com/ National Fiber Technology] in Massachusetts is the only company on the planet that makes a long hair fabric fur. They supplied the hair for the Wookiees in Revenge of the Sith. The hair is excellent but very expensive. Costs can vary anywhere from $2500 to $3500 depending on how much you need.

====Tutorials====
[https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/how-to-body-cast-create-custom-mannequin-on-a-budget How to Body Cast and Create a Custom Mannequin on a Budget]

*[http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=416018#416018 Bob Kohn's National Fiber Technology Hair/Fur Tutorial] covers everything from patterning, to costs, to the correct loom numbers, and more.
*[http://sewing.about.com/od/techniques/ss/sewingfur.htm About.Com's How to Cut & Sew Fake Fur] is also a good guide

====Patterning Your Suit====
Bob Kohn used a body suit pattern, similar to the ones used by Stormtroopers. Plan out your patterns on the suit, then cut the suit based on patterns and fur colors. Bob’s pattern used something like 40-50 pieces to sew back together when finished. Remember to add seam allowance.

Fabric furs have a certain direction that they must hang or lay. This is the fabric’s "nap." The idea is that the hair will all hang down when the finished costume is worn. You will not simply be able to place your pattern pieces wherever there is room; the pattern pieces must have the correct orientation with respect to the nap. This will increase the amount of hair you will need, so plan for this in your patterns and don’t forget about it when you cut.

*Keep the suit as snug as possible while still being easy to get in and out of. Chewie is thinly built and the hair will add bulk.
* Pay special attention to the neck. Make sure most of the neck opening (about ⅔) is on the front.
*Be sure that you have extra hair for your gloves, feet, and especially your mask.
*National Fiber Hair is a 60" wide fabric.
*NFTech hair is a direction or nap that must be respected when drafting your pattern and cutting your fabric; all hair needs to hang down on the finished suit.
*When determining where the seam between the grey and brown areas will occur, remember that the hair will hang 8” - 10” down from that seam. However, seams that run vertically will not have this problem.

====Ordering the Hair====
Most Wookiees choose "medium brown" and "dark grey" and end up with colors that are too red and too light. Bob Kohn made his suit using National Fiber hair and has obtained the correct colors to use. For brown, you want to order '''AJ 2872 Brown, 15" silver Chewbacca''', for the grey you want '''AJ 2873 Grey, 15" silver Chewbacca'''. Bob Kohn estimates that you will need approximately 17 square feet of the grey hair, and 27 square feet of the brown hair. Bob says you will also want to get 1 pound of loose hair of each color for use on your mask.

It’s important to remember that the above numbers are just a loose figure; you need to pattern your suit before you order your hair and order based on that.

====Sewing the Suit ====
Read [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=222979#222979 Kitfox’s discussion of Shawn’s suit]

Also be sure to check out [http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=416018#416018 Bob Kohn’s tutorial]

There is no need to trim fur for seam allowance for sewing the suit. When cutting the fabric you want to avoid cutting off large strands of hair, so comb back the fur before you cut it from the bolt and make small cuts. As noted earlier, it is critical that you cut your hair fabric with the correct direction or "nap" in mind; the hair should all hang down on the finished suit.

Bob Kohn learned the hard way that you should NOT use a serger with NFTech fabrics. The heat created by the serger needles melts and breaks down some of the chemicals in the hair; which then attach themselves to the needles and form razor sharp debris that shreds the base fabric. Instead, use a traditional sewing machine and use a wide zigzag stitch. Bob and his wife spent a year repairing the suit after the fact.

==== Grooming the Suit====
Bob Kohn says that the National Fiber Hair is beautiful right off of the bolt, and almost no grooming is required to achieve the distinctive wavy Chewie look. He recommends doing nothing but rolling the suit up and storing it a bag after every troop and cleaning. After 1-2 troops, you will start to see the distinctive wavy look that are you looking for.

====Cleaning the Suit====
The mesh fabric will absorb sweat and begin to stink if not cleaned. The key to keeping the suit clean is to allow the suit to air out immediately after every event, not 12 hours later. Consider hanging it in your car like your dry cleaning or build a collapsible coat rack in your bin. Febreeze is also very helpful. However, these techniques have their limits, and eventually you will need to wash it by hand.

Use a large tub (like a bath tub) and use either NFTech’s hair soap or a mild baby’s shampoo. Bring the water to a light sudsy bubble, then lay the suit in the water, gently agitating it using only your hands; no tools should be used. When the color of the water changes, remove the suit with both hands, bearing in mind that it will be quite heavy due to all the water it has absorbed. Replace the water and soap, and put the suit back in and continue to wash it gently with your hands. Repeat this process until the water no longer changes color. The color is the combined grime of sweat, rain, Febreeze, hair spray, and who knows what else coming off of the hair.

Once the suit is clean you will need to rinse the soap. Fill the tub with water as before but do not add any shampoo or detergent. Put the suit and gently agitate it with your hands. Empty the tub and repeat this process until there is no more soap left in the suit.

To dry, gently lay the suit down on a bunch of towels and pat dry the suit with another towel. Do not be aggressive; this is not your dog that are drying. Flip the suit and repeat, replacing towels as you go. Once the suit has been sufficiently hand-dried and it is no longer heavy with the weight of all that water, hang the suit and allow it to air dry. It’s important to towel dry first; hanging the heavy, water-logged suit could damage it. Bob Kohn uses a clothesline on a sunny/light breezy day. If you live in a humid or wet climate, consider using a large fan. Avoid blow drying as you could damage the suit.

===Faux Fur===
Faux fur doesn't work, not long enough. More notes to follow.

===Rubies Costumes Supreme Edition Chewbacca===
Passable with extensive modification in the past, but more expensive than other methods and still a lot of work for a mediocre result. Not accepted by the 501st or Rebel Legions. Also, Rubies went out of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

===Anovos Chewbacca===
Anovos had a prototype commissioned a few years back and showed it off at San Diego Comic Con. They decided not to pursue it as a commercial project.

=== Ammo Boxes ===

# Both small and large boxes in the Ep3 bandolier appear to be as wide as the strap. They look like they are assembled from cut panels designed to fit together like a puzzle.
# [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1344 WookieeGunner] and Dougie Fett did some [http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=284251#284251 scaling work] on the Ep3 blocks.
## Large Box
### Face: 98mm x 52mm
### Top Edge: 98mm x 6.5mm
### Cutout: 12.5mm x 10mm x .5mm
### L Shape: 12mm x 12mm x 2mm
### Gap Between Edge and L: 2mm
### Front Edge Cutout: 10mm x 3mm x. 5mm
### Lip Width: 2mm
### Lip Depth: 3mm
### Depth: 17mm
## Small Box
### Face: 108mm x 34.75mm
### Top Edge: 108mm x 5mm
### Top Cutout: 10.5mm x 6mm
### Side Cutout: 3mm x 3mm
### Gap Between Edge and Cutout: 2mm
### Front Edge Cutout: 6mm x 3mm x .5mm
### Depth: 17mm
## Spacing between Boxes: 60.5mm

=== Bandolier Strap ===

# The bandolier is always worn on the left shoulder, with the pouch resting on the upper right thigh.
# The bandolier can be worn with the concho/discs in either front or back.
# In some early publicity photos for Revenge of the Sith, Peter Mayhew wore his new Revenge of the Sith costume with the Return of the Jedi bandolier, presumably because the new bandolier wasn't finished. GotWookiee used the RotJ bandolier as a point of reference in determining the dimensions of the RotS bandolier:
#* Main strap:
#** Width: 3"
#** Length: 1864mm
#** Thickness:
#** Width of seam: 1/3"
#** Distance from last ammo box to end: 112mm
#** Distance between ammo boxes: 42mm
#** Tapered ends:
#*** Width at end: 35mm
#*** Distance taper starts from end of bandolier: 42mm
#*** Radius of curve: 4mm
#** End loop:
#*** Length: 42mm
#*** Width: 35mm
#** Dark brown snaps: (2)
#*** Diameter: 14mm
#*** Distance from end of bandolier: 14.5mm
#* Center strap:
#** Width: 1"
#** Length: approx.
#** Thickness:
#** Width of seam: 1/3"
#** Loops (38)
#*** Width: 5mm
#*** Diameter: approx. 30mm
#*** Thickness:
#** Distance from end of strap to end of bandolier: 88mm
#** Taper starts: 9.5
#** Copper rivets: (2)
#*** Diameter: 1/3"
#*** Center distance from end of center strap: 9.5mm
# It is a dark brown color; darker than the pouch.
# There is no leather concho or disc, as on the original trilogy bandoliers.
# The center strap is held in place with leather loops, not rivets. These loops are placed at the base of every box, so there are two for each box.
# There is a rivet at the each end of the center strap.

=== Pouch ===

# The pouch is large, approximately 1’ wide by perhaps 8’ long. The flap covers almost the entire front of the pouch.
# The flap is secured with a pair of belt-like fasteners.
# The original trilogy pouch is made of heavily worn leather. There are several visible dark spot on the lower right hand corner.
# The Episode III pouch looks brand new and appears to be made of suede.

=== Ammo Boxes ===

# There are 10 large boxes on the bandolier, and 9 small boxes.
# According to GuntahKela, the small boxes are the Hammond Manufacturing 1590A Die-Cast Aluminum Project Box. [http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Hammond-Manufacturing/1590A/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsrGrAVj6eTva4YHrNVXaiPbM%252bgyQ79%2f%252bE%3d It is still available from Mouser Electronics]. It's dimensions are:
#* Width: 92mm
#* Height: 38mm
#* Depth: 27mm
# From the photos, it appears that the small boxes have the lid attached on the A New Hope bandolier, and are mounted with the lid attached to the leather strap. The bandoliers for Empire and Jedi do not have the lid attached.
# The larger boxes have not been identified. They appear to be wider and taller than the small boxes but not as thick. They also have a lid that is larger than the box. The lid has a pop rivet in the center on each side. It is mounted with the face of the lid against the leather bandolier.
# According to scaling work done by kurtyboy of the RPF, the large box dimensions are:
#* Box:
#** Width: 82mm
#** Height: 54mm
#** Depth: 26mm
#* Lid:
#** Width: 85mm
#** Height: 56mm
#** Depth: 5mm
# The ammo boxes on the Star Wars In Concert bandolier are not accurate, and the bandolier is probably not screen used.

=== Bandolier Strap ===

# The bandolier is always worn on the left shoulder, with the pouch resting on the upper right thigh.
# The bandolier can be worn with the concho/discs in either front or back.

==== "ANH" bandolier ====

# This bandolier has never been displayed as part of a traveling exhibit (as far as I know).
# Using the small ammo boxes as a point of reference, GotWookiee has determined the dimensions:
#* Main strap:
#** Width: 82mm
#** Length: 1866mm
#** Distance from last ammo box to end: 140mm
#** Distance between ammo boxes: 38mm
#** Tapered ends:
#*** Width at end: 39mm
#*** Distance taper starts from end of bandolier: 52mm
#*** Curve radius of taper: 5.85mm
#** End loop:
#*** Length: 52mm
#*** Width: 39mm
#** Silver snaps: (2)
#*** Diameter: 16mm
#*** Center distance from end of bandolier: 36mm
#** Silver discs (2):
#*** Diameter: 32mm
#*** Thickness:
#*** Diameter of hole: 5mm
#*** Center distance from end of bandolier: 76mm
#* Center strap:
#** Width: 19mm
#** Length: approx. 2760mm
#** Silver rivets (20):
#*** Diameter: 6.5mm
#** Distance from end of strap to end of bandolier: 114mm
# The discs are the same from Han Solo's ANH gunbelt. There is one on each of the bandolier.
# It is a medium brown color; darker than the pouch.
# The ends are capped by a long, concave taper.
# There is a leather strap that secures the top of the bandolier to Peter’s neck to prevent it from slipping.
# The ends of the bandolier are fastened with visible metal snaps or silver buttons.
# A simple 1.5 inch metal ring attaches the pouch to the bandolier at each end.

==== "Stitches" bandolier ====

# This bandolier was built for Empire, and was used during the Tatooine scenes in Return of the Jedi.
# This has a silver disc on only one end of the bandolier. Is sometimes worn with the silver disc in back and sometimes in front.
# Using the small ammo boxes as a point of reference, GotWookiee has determined the bandolier dimensions:
#* Main strap:
#** Width: 72mm
#** Length: 1862mm
#** Width of seam: 7mm
#** Distance from last ammo box to end: 138mm
#** Distance between ammo boxes: 38mm
#** Tapered ends:
#*** Width at end: 26mm
#*** Distance taper starts from end of the bandolier: 48mm
#*** Angle of taper: 25 degrees
#** End loop:
#*** Length: 48mm
#*** Width: 26mm
#** Silver snaps (2)
#*** Diameter: 16mm
#*** Center distance from end of bandolier: 33mm
#** Silver concho:
#*** Diameter: 28mm
#*** Center distance from end of bandolier: 84mm
#* Center strap:
#** Width: 18mm
#** Length: approx. 2770mm
#** Silver rivets (20):
#*** Diameter: 6.5mm
#** Distance from end of strap to end of bandolier: 113mm
# It is a dark brown color; darker than the pouch.
# A simple 1.5 inch metal ring attaches the pouch to the bandolier at each end.
# There is a leather strap that secures the top of the bandolier to Peter’s neck to prevent it from slipping.

=== Pouch ===

# The pouch is large, approximately 1’ wide by perhaps 8’ long. The flap covers almost the entire front of the pouch.
# The flap is secured with a pair of belt-like fasteners.
# The original trilogy pouch is made of heavily worn leather. There are several visible dark spot on the lower right hand corner.
