Im sorry to hear about the shipping issues. That sucks. Here is an option for you:

I purchased one of these suits when I first started working on my Vader. Its entirely synthetic and it will pass 501st standards. I tweeked it a little to improve it, but the maker is pretty reliable for shipping.
Regards,
Chris

i feel for you man, i am supposedly getting my stuff from fenix this week maybe, he said he shipped it last week. that only makes it 2 &1/2 months past when he was to get it to me.
i do find it amazing how some prop builders can't meet expectations.

armor arrived today..... and heart break came with it. the box was destroyed..... then i noticed the armor was paper thin, only one layer of fiberglass matt..... then i noticed the chest plate was stunt not hero as fenix claimed. oh, did i mention its broken in half?!!! the only thing holding it together is the matt material. its horribly miss-shapen, sloping away from you in all directions.... air bubbles all over the place on the back side..... im contacting lucas tonight. this is the worst vader armor ive ever seen. so dissapointing.......
