That the one that costs 40 bucks?
Belt looks great, just a little wide, guessing you went the 2.5 route?
Looks awesome though!

I really like the belt.
The buckle looks good too, is it metal?
But, I want to know what the fabric is you used? I've been pulling my hair out (and mines not too thick to begin with, hehe) trying to find something even close to Obi's.

I've been having a bit of trouble trying to get the proportions right on everything. Maybe his belt is thinner? I think it might just be how the food capsules sit... the leather is tough and thick and it pushes the capsules up a little. I might try bending the clips on the capsules so that they sit better. I really like the belt. The buckle looks good too, is it metal? But, I want to know what the fabric is you used? I've been pulling my hair out (and mines not too thick to begin with, hehe) trying to find something even close to Obi's. The buckle is metal, machined aluminium and it has working hinges, but the central section is one piece. The fabric is simple Crinkle Cotton from Joanne's, or so I'm told. I got a contact in LA to send it to me, theres nothing like it here. It actually looks alot thicker than it is, Its about as thick as Obi Wan's episode I tunic, but sits better. The tunic is lined so that gives it some more thickness. |

Thanks, I'll keep looking, my Joann's dosent seem to have much except that blasted neon plush plastic fleece crud, grr hate that stuff. Is the center belt 3/4" (20mm) or 1/2" (13mm) (didnt know which way you used over there) That would make the difference making it "look" wider then it is. OR your ALOT skinnier then me, that would do it too  hehe |

Heh we use metric here, but ever since I started SW costuming, I've gotten more familiar with the Imperial system due to that being the general flow of information on the net. The smaller accent belt is 1/2" wide, which is accurate with Obi Wans belt - at least in proportion. I always thought that Obi Wan's accent belt was thinner than most other Jedi -  - looks smaller to me. The problem I have is with the food capsules... they don't go all the way to the base of the belt. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, but its a bit of an annoyance after all the work I've put in. |

Hey Seda, This may help:  The purple block is 1/2" as it should be, as the accent belt is that width. The Red is 2.25" and the Blue is 2.5" As you can see its bigger than 2.25 but smaller than 2.5...I think the belt should be the same length as the food capsules. 2 3/8" or whatever. The belt looks fantastic though Let me know if this scaled pic helps! |

LOL, Your great Primrodo. I sware, if someone asked about Jedi underware, you would have a high res pic for them. I can say you help me, Ive seen your pics and posts all over the net. You have got to be one of THE hardest researchers, if not costumer around. |

Heh yeah its true, some of the pics you find I've got no idea where they come from. As for the belt, since the difference is pretty negligable I dont think I'll try to trim the edges such a small amount, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for further projects. What I wouldnt give to just have Obi's costume for a day so I can take all the measurements and pics i need! |
