TIE Pilot Tips

These boots are similar to the ones worn by Han Solo, except they aren't quite as high. Like all the other black boots in the Trilogy, they are probably based on German military or equestrian boots. Motorcycle boots may work well, too.

Wherever you buy your boots, remember that they should be mid-calf, not over the calf.

Here are two places to look for boots online:

  Chippewa Boots
  Grand Prix Equestrian

TIE Fighter Pilot Boots

TIE Fighter Pilot Gloves

TIE Pilot Gloves

These gloves were made from black leather driver gloves. Black vinyl was hand sewn and made into gauntlets, and then sewn directly to the gloves.

You may be able to find a similar glove with less work at a motorcycle supply store.
