    Hey there, I need some help tracking down the leather straps for my transportation officer costume so I can officially join the 501st. I have everything else (boots and belt are en route). Thank you!

    I would suggest finding a leather worker in your area, show them and get them made. ;)

    If you contact a leather store (outlet) where they sell the raw skins, they would know people in the trade.

    Did you find the leather @Nehru_Amidala? Because there are alternatives that look very similar to leather if you didn’t find any online.

    Make sure to check the sizing and compatibility with your boots and belt when you pick out your straps. Check if there are any on L_B Edit: please don’t link retail sites that don’t sell what is being discussed. They have a bunch of leather products.
