Here are some pics of me in costume. Just curious as to what people think of it.

The pants are regular pants bought at a shop and the utility belt is a belt I customised and added a strip of left over fabric from what I used to make the robe to. The buckle is a buckle from a dog lead. It is a bit flawed, had to add bits to the body of the tunic and robe sleeves to make it fit. Robe sleeves are a tad short still but nothing major. My lightsaber is a costume accessory that I got from costumeholidayhouse.com It is customised as I painted some parts gold. For the inner tunic I customised a top I bought. The tunic, tabards and obi are made from an old sheet so they make me look somewhat authentic there is some staining and a couple of tiny holes in the tunic. I've used a nokia belt clip for the lightsaber clip and pen lids for the food/energy capsules. Pouches covered with more left over robe material complete the belt accessories. I know the belt droops when the lightsaber is attached so I am going to tighten it.

I used to have a doggie chain thing as a belt buckle! It does the job! Great job with the saber glow effect also!

Am using a knit material called Nautical knit. It looks very smiliar to what the real costumes were made of.

Is it cotton? And what makes it different from regular knit or t-shirt or jersey fabric?

I"ve found that I need to redo my utility belt as the one I was using dun fit round me nemore since da tunic, tabbards and obi are thicker. It means that unfortunately I'm going to end up with a belt buckle at the back but it can't be helped.

Should be getting photos done tonight and have them up later in the week.
