Hmm...Since i go thru alot of vinyl...hehehe
I have Hanthingy Fabricks as the cheapest near me to get Vinyl. Sometimes, have to go look near the upholtestery section. They tend to carry the stuff year round.
Another good store is Jo-Ann's Fabric. And of course, you can always check wal-mart for suprise sales.
I'll check around for on-line sources.
As for a pattern, I''ll have to look around, for the vest. You will have to adjust yours abit, as Vinyl doesent quite lay as cloth. And be prepared for a bit of WARMTH.
But it does keep the rain off ya!
Good luck.

Hi again.
I was looking at how they describe the costume at the Padawan's guide..and the picture that they show
www.padawansguide.com/BMA/luke_rotj1.jpg
And this is what it says.
"Luke wears a black long-sleeved under-tunic, tabards/vest that go around the neck priest like, (similiar to Ben's costume), an obi (no belt), black pants and black boots.
From the picture, it looks like they might have sewed the sides together...if not..those are VERY wide. It really hard to see. But it looks more like an open vest since it does go around the neck, more than regular tabards.
I found something else caled a t-vest. It is the tabards, sew together in the back to make one piece, the two flaps going over the front.
Good luck with either design.
