This is my WIP for my upcoming Jedi costume. I’ve had a while to contemplate and plan this costume and decided to do something a little different. I’ve decided to make a generic Jedi that looks like it just stepped out of one of the Prequel movies.
I’m not including anything from any other sources except the Prequel movies. No Old Ben or Luke influences. No comics or novels from the Prequels or any other era. I’m only using details seen within the Prequel movies. Oh, I’m not considering the Clone Wars movie or series to be included in this build.
I’ll start posting the pics of my build as things get finished or are in production. That way the LCJs can see what I’m talking about in my description (and the CRL).
----------
Inner Tunic: It will be a naturally-colored full inner tunic that closes left over right. It includes a 1.5” band around the neck.
Trousers: The trousers are tan-colored and will not have any visible pockets or adornments. They will also tuck into the boots.
Outer Tunic: The outer tunic is sand-colored and will be made in a kimono-style, closing right over left. There will be a 3” band down the neckline. The skirt will include a waist seam so it flares out. Because of my body-type, I’m electing to have a knee-length skirt (like Mace Windu) rather than a mid-thigh or floor length skirt. The sleeves will be wrist-length. Finally, because I like the look, it will have a shoulder tuck.
Tabards: The tabards will be two-pieces. They will be the width of the shoulder seam. They will hang parallel below the obi, not cross below it. The front will extend about 2” below the skirt and the back will end under the obi. The tabards will be made from the same material as the outer tunic, though I may upgrade it to pleather in the future.
Obi: The obi will be equal in width to the tabard. It will wrap entirely around the waist and connect in a non-visible manner in the front. The obi will be made from the same material as the outer tunic.
Boots: The boots will be brown leather. They will be just under knee height. They will have a gaiter/half-chap around them to hide any visible zippers. I do not know whether I want to include any straps or buckles on it, in an in-universe style. The heels will be less than 2” high.
Belt: The belt will be made of brown leather. It will include a wide under belt and thin over belt. The over belt will be 1” wide. The under belt will be 3” wide, which is proportional to my height and over twice the width of the over belt. The under belt closure will not be visible (either hidden under the loop in the back of a pouch on the side). The over-belt will include a double hook with ring buckle (in-universe in design). The belt will include eight studs, four above and below, to hold the over-belt in place.
Utility Pouches: I will have two brown leather pouches on my belt.
Lightsaber Clip: I will have a covertec clip on my belt.
Food Capsules: I’ll have between four and eight gold-colored pencaps.
Jedi Prop: I’ll have a Jedi comlink prop on my belt. It will be permanently attached to a faux case/holder.
Lightsaber: It’s a lit, bladed lightsaber. The blade is blue in color.
Outer Wear:
Robe: It will be made of a brown wool-looking material that is ankle length. It has a wide hood that extends to the shoulders when raised and wide sleeves that cover the hands when the arms are at my sides. Finally, it is unadorned except for a hook and eye fastener at the neck.
