Greetings all. Anyone have suggestions regarding ObiWan's pants from ROTS?

Didn't they simply use dress pants like John Henry or Dockers?
It would then be a case of getting the colour matched correctly.

The used Dockers in the episode I so I figure they've used the same type of pants for 2 and 3 since they'er easy to find. The Docker's store has a LOT of colors, so the brown would be easy to find.

Thats not a fact merely a assumption... From what pictures there are you cannot see any pockets, but who knows. What might be a good idea is getting white slacks and dyeing them, or just starting from scratch

Well if you're going to purchase slacks wouldn't it be easier to buy ones that are the closest colour? Here's an example of Dockers that are pretty close: Compared to a promo pic: They look good enough to me. Here is the webpage: www.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?DeptID=0&CatID=021338&Grptyp=PRD&ItemId=0b65287Really unless you have a sample of the material it would be difficult to match the screen used colour. Computer monitors (and tv screens) will all show the colour slightly differently. The new book (can't remember the name off hand) that has the material swatches would be a sure fire way to get the colour screen accurate, however the book itself will cost somewhere in the $185 dollar range. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend I guess.

You can definitely use dockers... that looks like a great color match, far as I can tell... but you're right about the monitor adjustments being possibly off. Actually, in the close-ups that I've seen of his pants form RotS, the fabric looks a bit softer than what I imagine dockers would be... just my guess.

What color pant was used for EpI and II? Was it the dockers in putty color or stone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know fabrics very well, but they look to be 100% silk? I say just buy some slacks (be they Dockers or not) that match the colour you believe looks correct, provided they are a flat front with no pleats. Your tunic will easily cover the pockets.

For some "good enough" isn't There and many options and one options shouldn;t be shot down as a viable one in lieu of an "easier" one. Like I use Dickies brown pants, great pants due to their hidden pockets and strong fabric...and they match

Like I use thingyies brown pants, great pants due to their hidden pockets and strong fabric...and they match Ummm... I'm a little confused by all that. Did you just say that one option shouldn't be shot down or dismissed because there is an easier option? And just before that you comment that the "easier option" (referring to my "good enough" observation) wouldn't be acceptable for some people? Isn't that dismissing an option simply because "it's easier"? And you then continue on to say that you use a particular brand of pants because they match the screen-used ones? Isn't that what I was suggesting to begin with? Like I said, I'm confused. I wasn't "shooting down" anyone's suggestion, nor do I think that mine is the "correct" or only way that must be followed. You suggested getting white slacks and dyeing them. I just believe that you could go through a great deal of trouble trying to match the screen accurate colour, and still not have it be exact (going back to my comment about everyone's monitors showing a variation of the actual screen used colour). There is also the problem of the dye fading with repeated washings. I was just saying that if you are going to purchase slacks (rather than having them tailor made or sewing them yourself), you might want to save yourself some trouble by getting ones that match the colour you believe is correct to your eyes. That was all. I apologize if my previous post, or this one appears to have an adversarial tone. It is not meant as such.

No not at all, I was in fact supporting your suggestion... After a few made their suggestions you reasserted your opinion to buy again, and thats ok, i just don't want to see one idea more "reasonable" over another. There is lots of options to getting any part. I just didn't want anyone reading to think Dockers were the only way thats all Again my post saying I use...erm D i c k i e s rather than thingyies (haha nice censoring!) Was in support for you Ah message boards!

Indeed. Hey sorry for misreading all that. And my apologies again for becoming a little defensive. So back to topic. Probably a good place to start is figuring out the material used. It does look like a softer material as Leda said than what would be found in store workpants. Any ideas? By the way, what was the name of that book with the material swatches?
