I recently purchased some new Jedi robes from a seller on Ebay. When I first received them I must say I was a teensy bit disappointed- they seemed a bit too big even though they were custom made to my measurements. And the colour of the outer tunic was a little darker than I anticipated.
However having worn them a couple of times now, they have completely grown on me! I also put my old robes on for comparison, and the new ones blow them out of the water!
So here are the pics! ;D
The inner/outer tunics are made from polycotton broadcloth. The tabbards are full length both front and back Qui-Gon style. The obi wraps twice around the back and ties in a knot in front (which is then tucked beneath my utility belt).
There is a full dark brown inner tunic that has a triple lapel collar. The outer tunic/obi/tabbards are tan. Pants are simply "George" brand dress pants from WalMart (they are a light olive/brown colour).
Still kept my old robe as it is in fine shape.
(Now for some ham...)
"Ki-Vaan in repose" (Or... "What does Anakin plan on doing with that speeder?")
"That made a mess!!!"
Now for a comparison of old robes to new...

I have already updated my profile on the TJA website (with the cool pictures- not the ham ones ). I still have to do some minor alterations so the fit is a little more sung where it needs to be. Other than that, I am very pleased with my new robes. I can provide information on the seamstress upon request.
