I heard about this company a few weeks ago who are now licensed to make official SW Costumes. Their first offering out of the gate is:

Luke Skywalker Bespin Fatigues


"This pre-order is available exclusively to North American customers. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for updates on International sales outside of North America.

Three years have passed since Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin. A farm boy no longer, Luke has become “Rogue Leader” – a Commander and pilot in the Rebel Alliance. Long gone are the dusty robes worn as a moisture farmer, and Luke now wears the uniform fatigues of a Rebel leader. 

The main costume of our hero in Star Wars™ Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker’s Two Piece “Bespin” Fatigues is a uniform piece ANOVOS is both excited and proud to offer for the first time.

One of the few costumes from The Empire Strikes Back still residing in archives, extensive measurements, digital Pantone color samples and physical patterns were taken directly off the original screen used outfit.

Surprisingly complex, we’ve recreated every detail possible from the convex bends of the lapels to stitch-for-stitch specific collar detailing. All of these details and more come together to create the most accurate replica of a Luke Skywalker’s Bespin Fatigues ever offered by a licensed entity.

Estimated ship date November 2014. Date subject to change.

Luke Skywalker's belt and holster rig will be offered as a separate piece in Summer 2014.

Me too. Looks like soft goods for now though. Their next one is the Bespin Han Solo I think?

Matter of fact looks what message I just got today!

Bespin Han Solo Outfit

"Scruffy looking" has been redefined with the release of the Premier Star Wars™: The Empire Strikes Back Han Solo "Bespin" Clothing Replica Ensemble.

Replicated from the definitive Han Solo costume from The Empire Strikes Back, this Premier Line release is the result of intense and thorough Research & Development from ANOVOS's design team. Intense study of original screen used costumes, hundreds of photographs, and some of the surviving actual paper patterns used to make Han's outfit -- provided by LucasFilm Archives -- aided us in making the most accurate replica to date. For the Premier Line uniforms, the outfit's fabrics are painstakingly recreated to capture the correct weight and weave from the originals so that you too can be the most dashing guy, or gal, in our Galaxy while wearing the clothes from science fiction’s coolest renegade.

Han Solo's belt and holster rig is offered as a separate piece, click here to pre-order.
Standard Line Han Solo "Bespin" Clothing Ensemble to be released later Summer 2014.
Shipping estimated to begin December 2014.

Who is this scruffy looking nerf herder...?

A former smuggler and space pirate, Han Solo is the rugged, devil-may-care captain of the Millennium Falcon. Fast thinking and quick with a blaster, Han is noted for his narrow escapes from dangerous situations, many of which are the result of his own brash and arrogant behavior. His skill with a blaster and uncanny luck are equaled only by his extraordinary piloting abilities. After winning theFalcon from fellow gambler and friend Lando Calrissian, Han extensively modified his ship to become one of the fastest space vessels in the galaxy. For this reason, he is hired to transport Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and young Luke Skywalker on a mission that will forever alter Han’s roguish course. After helping to rescue the Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire, the often charming yet insufferable pilot wins the heart of the beautiful Princess, and in her cause, finds a focus for his flyboy talents. No longer a reckless vagrant, Han Solo is a general in the Rebel Alliance and is recognized as one of its most deserving and courageous heroes.

And the offer this to go with it:

Han Solo Holster Rig Set

A former smuggler and space pirate, Han Solo is the rugged, devil-may-care captain of the Millennium Falcon. Fast thinking and quick with a blaster, Han is noted for his narrow escapes from dangerous situations, many of which are the result of his own brash and arrogant behavior.

Aiding Han in his adventures is his holster rig set, which ANOVOS is excited to present in our release of the Premier Han Solo Holster Rig Set.

Yeah, I think it would take even half of this cost to perhaps get people interested in a quality cloth type reproduction of this. I can't even begin to fathom what their armored costumes are gonna be.

Armors will cost A LOT for sure. And when talking about AT-AT Driver for example, not sure they can go more accurate than Laws or Moncal, since there is no original screen-used AT-AT Driver armor and helmet left in the LFL archives alas.

The guys who created Anovos Co. are RPF members, so I guess they know about accuracy. Hopefully they will respect the fans with both accurate products and reasonable pricing.
