Hey everybody, I'm new here and was hoping for some help. I've scoured the tutorials, searched the web, et cetera, and was praying that somebody here might explain to me exactly what constitutes Jedi garb. I guess my question is, what are the specific layers and garments? I understand that each outfit is different, but I was hoping I could get the most complete description possible. If I'm gonna do it, I want to do it proper. Any help, links, pictures, descriptions, whatever would be very welcome. Thank you!
P.S. you guys do awesome jobs on your garb!

Even after all these years, Amber's site still does a good job of explaining it... www.rebellegion.com/jedigarb/Before I every found any website describing the costume, before the books and DVD's, I saw Ep I at the $2 movie theater 12 times to figure that out! It wasn't easy. So I can understand the difficulty you're having. I was gratified to find Amber's site and have my conclusions confirmed by someone else. |

An undertunic (Jedi undershirt) usually lighterweight fabric than the tunic with more fitted sleeves. Tunic, that usually Gi like garment, with wider, straight sleeves. Tabs or tabbards, one for each shoulder, may end at the obi in back, or hang below the tunic hem in both frot and back. the Obi, the wide fabric belt, (either a straght band, or the wrap & tie tradional type), Pants, plain & simple. Belt, usually a belt with a narrow belt over it. Boots, mid-calf or higher to the knees, with or without straps and buckles, low heeled, functional, comfortable, pouches, to hold the important stuff, breathers, com units etc. food & energy capsules are good as well. That big brown robe, lots of flow and a huge hood. Colours, Natural, tan, brown, beige, cream etc. and any thing seen on a Jedi on film. Fabrics I'd recommend, cotton osnaburg, linen, silk noil, cotton gauze (with or w/o crinkle for undertunics) most natural woven fabrics in the proper colour range, keep in mind that it gets warm with all the layers, especially inside at a crowded con. Many buy simple pants like dockers or thingyies etc w/o cargo pockets, but simple pants you make will work too. The robe, a heavy bottomweight fabric in cotton, heavy wt, double brushed cotton flannel, wool, silk noil, or linen works for the robe, again, remember your local weather and your own personal heat tolerance. Hope that all helped some. Oh yeah, then there is the Lightsabre!

Yep, what everyone else said. Tanthos did a Jedi costume workshop a few week ago that narrows Jedi garb down to a list.
-- pants
-- undertunic
-- tunic
-- tabards
-- obi
-- belt
-- boots
-- lightsaber
-- robe
-- accessories

when i first read Crowen Grail's post, i thought....shoot...why doesnt she just go poke around the forums.
then now i'm thinking...there really is no intro on the TJA website explaining what the parts of a jedi costume are.....
i think some sort of animation would be cool...with a "person/model" where you could click on a button that says "undershirt" and then an under tunic appears on the model....
something like that....

Suggest that in the thread on website changes! Additionally, there's no link from here to the actual TJA website.

Interesting idea about the animation.... something where you can click the bits of costume on and off to see the pieces underneath.

Hmmmmmm....Andrew? I tacked it to his list... I love the idea... thanks for the suggestion Den! Actually, I can handle this one... all he'll need to do is add it to the site. Like making Jedi paper dolls... |
