Title: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on May 05, 2017, 08:28:04 PM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0153QNMG4/ref=twister_B0153QNLPQ?th=1
Any thoughts on this as an outer tunic for a Jedi costume? The bottom seems a tad short but I'm a bit on the shorter end so it might work out. I like that it's a pretty lightweight material living in Florida but not sure if it would look too lightweight for a Jedi tunic if that makes sense. Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: SAHPhoto on May 05, 2017, 08:54:52 PM I had that bookmarked for a bit myself.
I also noted it for how lightweight it was, which to me not only would keep cool, but lend itself well to being layered both under and over it Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic?

Post by: Zren Tobas on May 06, 2017, 04:25:45 AM I have it for my Sith costume actually, black. Very nice for sure. You wrap the obi around your waist until its snug then tuck the ends inside the obi. My costume is almost complete to my likings though so. I also have their black robe as well. Getting me a charcoal inner tunic here soon so, already bought but you get the point :P Wanted a Darth Plagueis kind of look/colors for mine so

Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Zren Tobas on May 06, 2017, 10:30:03 PM I'll do a video of how to put the obi on for you this weekend sometime when I have time and feel like it. Just go for a size larger of what you normally wear so like large to xl or whatever, trust me on that one for this tunic
Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on May 07, 2017, 01:32:50 AM Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll be picking this up in the next couple of weeks and will give my thoughts then. I need to decide what color to go with as well. Decisions...
Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on June 08, 2017, 04:29:03 PM Got the tunic in yesterday and it fits very well. I'm usually a medium/large and got a XXL. Glad I did, the fit is just right. Now I just have to finish my tabards and I'll be all done!

Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Zren Tobas on June 09, 2017, 05:29:25 AM Nice. I got their black robe for my Sith costume and it looks good all together. I'll have to post some more pictures this weekend :)

Your ensemble is really coming along (BTW your belt looks spectacular)! Great job :D Nice. I got their black robe for my Sith costume and it looks good all together. I'll have to post some more pictures this weekend :) That sounds awesome ZT^^ Looking forward to seeing the pics ;) Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on June 09, 2017, 12:55:11 PM Thanks, gentlemen! I'm really excited at how it's coming out. ZT, I'd love to see pics of your Sith kit. I just ordered another gray tunic in a smaller size to use as my inner tunic.
Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Zren Tobas on June 09, 2017, 03:42:56 PM I think those are more suited for outer tunics to be honest unless yours works out x.x Mine's actually black outer and charcoal inner from a maker on Etsy that does inexpensive pieces

For the price, if I screw it up it won't be a huge deal ;) Got a link to that Etsy shop? Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Zren Tobas on June 10, 2017, 03:52:31 AM Another one to add to the list :P And also in case that tunic don't work out for you as an inner tunic. They have cool stuff

The gray tunic comes in today, I'm going to do some alterations to it and see how it works as an inner tunic. The plan is to remove the sleeves, add som e snap closures, and make the collar a bit more narrow. I cleaned up the outer tunic a bit last night, added some snap closures tat will be hidden by the obi, made the collar a little narrower (went with a RL standard of 2" rather than the stock 3") and hemmed the sleeves to the appropriate length. I'll post some pics tonight. Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on June 13, 2017, 12:21:42 PM Tunic came in last night and after a few adjustments I think it's going to work well. I made the collar more narrow, got rid of the sleeves, and added some snap closures:

I really like how the grey and ivory compliment each other (to say nothing of that awesome belt you made ;)). Question: where did you get your wrist wraps? VERY nice :) Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Huer-Ta on June 13, 2017, 01:27:20 PM Outstanding HT!

I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far :) The wraps are just boxing wraps. These are 108" but I wanted them to go a bit further up my arm so I'm likely going to swap them out for the 180" length. Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic?

How did you get your gray obi to fit though? I usually wrap mine all the way around until its snug, I got the XL size though because that's what I figured I'd need anyway. But when I go to put my main belt on it still likes to almost slip off then I gotta go to tighten the obi again x.x

If you look at the first pic at the waist, I added two snaps to keep the tunic closed. I did the same thing for the OT and it's covered up by the main belt/obi. I also added a hidden snap to the gray tunic's collar to keep the closure nice and tight :) Title: Re: Thoughts on this as an outer tunic? Post by: Zren Tobas on June 17, 2017, 04:08:01 PM Oh nice. I might do that to the obi then but like, have the snaps right in the middle so there covered by my main belt anyway. Actually not a bad idea :P
