SLowly working on my Jedi general armor - a friend of mine is getting a 3D printer and is helping me. I hope to have it ready by C7 at the very latest - and hopefully a lot sooner than that BUT - what is worn underneath the armor? It is not the regular tunic. Looking at Obi-wan Clone Wars photos - it is a black body suit or UnderArmor - and the tunic over it is more a long vest style -- knee length -- with a pointed tabbard. But does the tabbard hang from the belt? Or how does it attach? Any hints or anyone willing to sew me one for commission?   |

A friend of mine made this costume... the undersuit was black and "quilted" like Vader's. It was a double layer of fabric with some batting between. i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r491/LilEB/Obi-undersuit.jpgAlso if I remember correctly, the tabard was just the one in front and sewn into the obi. |

Huh. I don't like the quilted undersuit. It has to be more form-fitting IMHO. You can see the sleeves bunching under the arm armor where it should be tight. But a VERY nice job.
I mean obviously I am not an Obi-Wan lookalike, and all the Jedi have different outfits with their armor but I like the clean look of Obi-Wan's the best

I agree I think a leotard or under armor would do fine. I forget what his reference pics were but he insisted that it was like vader's.

Because mine is a custom I don't do the clone body glove. I wear a sleeveless tight turtleneck, standard jedi pants with suspenders and stirups for supprt and to keep them from being a pain in the boot  Then a long sleeved but fitting cross V tunic and over that a pull over with a v neck and shoulder covers that is all secured by a obi/sash and the belt. The sash has the bottom tabs sewn to it, it's based off of Plo Koons from clone wars but not a copy. |

Wondering too - do the boots have a strap on them? It almost looks like one at the top where it meets the lower leg armor. But I'll probably go with the standard low stormtrooper boots I also think I am going to use brown underarmor top and my brown leggings underneath. I don't like black for a Jedi and in the original Genndy its been determined it was brown body glove  |

One thing I noticed when I was looking for pics for Master Sinube. Always use pictures with the characters in the foreground. Even a main character will be a bit simplified if they are in the background. I assume this saves processing time for the cartoon.
