Does anyone have a pic that shows the slit in the side? The reason I ask is I am having a draping issue with mine ( mine does not have the slits). I am hoping the slits will help draping a bit, but I want to make sure I put them in the right spot and make them the right lenghth.. I also have to open up my arm holes a bit.This pic may illustrate what I am talking about...see how the bottom of the robe pulls in? I think all the electronics I have hidden under the robe ( my voice system is ridiculous! :) )is causing it to pull back a bit..

Why not fabricate a system for the voice stuff to attach to the rear of the belt? That should cure your problem.

TBH though, I think your design is lacking enough extra fabric to just cut a slit into the side. Hard to tell from the photo but I might try another idea first.

Nice looking suit you have there! :thumbsup

You look very imposing in the suit. Very Vader-esque! :cheers

How high does the slit go? Waist? Armpit?..Unfortunatly, my voice system has to stay the way it is ( my voice system, chestbox, and armor are all a part of it..I'm like a mobile boom box that only plays Vader! ) ..I know what you mean as far as the slit not helping..but I think I'll give it a shot. I hope to upgrade my soft parts eventually, but for now I have to work with what I have. Any other ideas?

I think he means the length of the slit. It starts at the belt and continues all the way to the floor.

Thanks! I think I discovered my problem...I had the inner robe pulled up to high in the back..that kind of pulled the bottom up and back...I think adjusting how I wear it and adding the slits in the sides should help ...thanks for all the input! :)

Sorry for the double post, I meant to say something about the pic. You can see in this shot how there is a slit in the robe. Apparently there were different robes used, some with slits, some not. The slit does go from the belt to the floor, as already mentioned.

And I also wanted to say, that is an awesome looking suit you have there RBJ.
