Hi All,
In my search for information on putting together information for the Luke ROTJ outfit I came across your very cool site. So, having found the Jedi experts, I'm hoping I can seek out your advice, help and experience, and apologies in advance for the length:
Basically, I am a total newbie to Costuming. BUT, I need, in very short order because of an early September deadline, as much information as I can collect on how to put together an awesome looking Luke ROTJ outfit.
I have found information for the boots and belt (Obi-wan's Academy), which seems to be pretty accurate, and am working on the saber and glove, so my accessories are largely covered.
But the jumpsuit and vest are causing problems. I have read in a couple of places (including posts here) that the green pepper f786 jumpsuit pattern requires a lot of modifications, and I cannot find a clear enough still to figure out what those modifications are. Does anyone have a final pattern with changes illustrated? Or is the pattern really good on its own? Any special considerations for the collar?
Same request for the vest and cloak: any recommendations for a truly on-point pattern?
Finally, what does your experience say for materials? I have found some stretch twill for the jumpsuit and some woven fabric for the vest, but am not sure if I'm headed in the right direction. And I'm open to suggestions for the grey lining on the flap. Overall, I'm looking for something that is flattering, breathable, durable, and almost has a black-tie quality to it, but is true to ROTJ imagery. Basically, what the stylish and fit Jedi would wear in coming to grips with his destiny.
As an aside, I haven't been able to get my hands on the green pepper pattern yet to see what it looks like, so I'm not even sure if the flap is a part of the pattern, or is a modification.
I would appreciate any help anyone may be able to provide.
Thanks!
