I received my gandalf costume from windlass and it's absolutely fantastic, I haven't had time for pictures yet, but there are a few things about it less then desirable, that I feel are post production changes but I could be wrong. I don't know if there was a change, but the cloak is more brown then it is grey. It looks and feels great. But it's a weird hybrid color between grey and brown. I looks great with the deep grey robe but not really accurate to what is seen in the movies, the hat is infused with lots of buckram so it's rather stiff and difficult to get modified. a few seams had to be taken out to get some wire in the brim and the crown needed 3 or 4 tucks to get it to shape in the correct bent way. The robe is also extremely long for most wearers so I must get it hemmed. Which put's me under pressure for time since I need it done for a large convention in june. Overall it's fantastically constructed and looks great. there are just some little things here and there.

Can't wait to see the pics Brandalf

Sorry to bring back this old thread, but I found a website that seems to carry some of MR's line. They have LOTR stuff there like Arwen's dresses and some of Aragorn's Royal garb. Don't know anything about them, but thought it'd be worth checking out.
