i think the lesser priced version is a lil lighter, and just tell LA thats its a ROTS cape, which has no leather collar, i think the option is there for a fabric collar, which is what you want for rots.
and dont forget to ask for the clasps on the capes collar ends.
a friend of mine got his, and LA used a lil larger clasp than what is supposed to be there, but he said he replaced them with a lil smaller clasp. theyre lobster claw clasps, BTW.

I've reading info from this website for months and decided to show what so many of you have helped me to create. First link contains the mods to the Rubies Supreme costume.
http://web.mac.com/justinnewton/iWeb/Site/Becoming%20Vader.html
I thought it would end there but making this costume better has becomes somewhat of an obsession. So here's a side by side comparison of what's been done since.
http://web.mac.com/justinnewton/iWeb/Site/Return%20of%20the%20Dark%20Lord.html
Have Star Fortressarmor and Fenixprops (LA) suit if anyone needs the lowdown. I recently bought the Porty chest box and was pretty disappointed with it. So much so, that I decided to go back to the Rubies box and modify it. The parts of the Porty box that I will use will be the green and red static lights. Anyone out there know where I can get a circuit board to fit the Rubies box that has a screen accurate light sequence. Somebody on E-bay used to sell the kits, but I can't seem to get my hands on his name. Thanks.

He generally answers within 24 hours.

I finally ordered my cape and Robe from LA. I went with the full wool version.
He emailed me that he bought the wool and it has begun. Hopefully I will have pics for you soon. :-)

cool. one word on the cape. a friend of mine got one in rots, and he uses a clasp that a bit too large, so you might have to get smaller ones. and also, make sure if it is rots your wanting, he makes it with a fabric collar not leather.

somewhere between 5 to 10 days i think. could be up to 14. mainly it depends on how long it takes in customs before its sent on to you.
