NEWS BULLETIN July 2006

Sorry I have not updated the site in so long I've had PC problems and I'm using a Mac now. I can only update through my PC at the moment.

I'm fully open for business once again for the Halloween 2006 season.  Items ordered before October 10th will be guaranteed to be delivered by the weekend before October 31st.  Check with me if ordering after that date about availability and turn around time.  It got really crazy last year and I'd like to avoid working 80 hour weeks again this year.  

Please keep in mind I make all Star Wars orders in batches so I usually do not start on your belt right away and wait until I have at least 10-30 belts that need to be made.

Also note I have moved again but I am staying in beautiful Austin cause there's a little thing here called Barton Springs along with it just being an awesome town to live in.  New address is: 

Matt Poitras

913 Connecticut

Austin, TX. 78758

I also do custom work.  Whole costumes to Jedi belts or custom armor.  Just drop a line if you want something made and I'll give you a quote.  mattmp@att.net

I'm pleased to offer a new line of EPIII products.  New and improved Jedi belts and pouches.  Please view Jedi pages for info and photos.  

The new Solo stainless steel buckle sets are in from the metal fabrication shop.  They are awesome!  Please view Solo page for new pics and descriptions.

Han Solo

These are hand-made reproductions of Han Solo’s gun belt from the Star Wars Saga. 
The new Solo belts are truly accurate.  I've recently commissioned a metal fabrication shop to produce the buckles and metal attachments.  They are now made of stainless steel and are cut with a laser so they are very precise.  The buckles have a one piece stainless steel bracket cold welded to the back along with a key post screw.  They are much stronger and better designed then my old buckle sets.  I also revised the pattern for the holster part and it hangs a lot better on the leg.   Many hours have been spent figuring out how exactly they are supposed to go together.  Each one is made accurate to the movie.  Generally they are all the same pattern wise.  The main difference is the buckles, and the way each attaches, for each movie they are different.   Silver disk is made of resin and is included with belt.  Belt has adjustable snaps in the back.  Blasters, tools, droid caller, pants belt, and costumes NOT included.  Holsters will fit any Solo blasters (not toys or GK blaster with the M9 flash on). 
  Note: ANH version has 1/8" groves on holster and belt and ROTJ on the holster only.
