Title: Alternative Undertunic
Post by: TheDutchman on April 25, 2017, 08:09:38 PM
So I was checking out Amazon and came across this great looking shirt and thought "This could go perfect with my Jedi costume."  If anyone else has already posted, I apologize in advance  ;)

It may have been mentioned here before, because I kind of recall something like this, but I'm going to take this as a great find, as I agree, it would look awesome. I just ordered one myself.  Thank you!  Point! :D

So, ya gonna get one, too?  I don't like my current under tunic solution, and it's not 100% Rebel Legion compliant anyway, so this ought to help.

Most definitely.  Looks like I've got to stick w/ the Grey though (no brown XXL).  However, I think if I pair the shirt w/ some grey pants, that'll look cohesive w/ my jedi robes (still have the dark brown boots&belt&robe so I think it'll all be copacetic  ;)).

Yeah I've seen that before used for personal costumes. I got a similar shirt from them, go a size up of normal size though x.x

I saw that suggestion but I think XL, my usual size for a shirt, will be okay, especially as an under tunic, as I want it to be a tighter fit anyway.

Good suggestion; but like LB said, I want to undertunic to be a bit more snug (and it's an academic point for me regardless: I'll have to get XXL to begin with  ;D).

No I mean go with a size up of what you normally wear with them, trust me x.x I had to go XL with them so

I gotcha, ZT  :)  The only problem is that I don't think that there's a 3XL shirt available  ;)

It looks real good! Thumbs up!
Thank you, SAH  :)

Well when I ordered my one black shirt to use as an inner tunic from them the one time I had to go XL so x.x Could still give it a try though

Received mine, tried it on, a little tight, but that's ok because I wanted it that way. Saw on the label that when you choose "XL" as the size, it means "XL" in Asia but "L" everywhere else, hence the reason an XL, which normally fits me perfectly, fit so tight. The "brown" color was off, though, more like a pinkish taupe, and will not work for my costume. I think the black one would work for a Sith costume, though.  I'm returning it for a refund tomorrow.  :-\

Man, LB, I'm sorry to hear that  :(  I got my grey shirt and,while sung, it looks exactly what I'd hoped.  Thanks for both the heads-up w/ the "brown" mis-coloring as well as the size discrepancy.  Again: sorry about the shirt.

Thanks, buddy. I'm glad to hear the grey shirt met your expectations. I was thinking about that one, too, for a possible grey jedi or sith costume.  I liked the way mine fit, just terribly wrong on the color and couldn't imagine even wearing it without feeling like I'm living in the wrong decade  :D

LOL OMG I know EXACTLY what you mean: my grandparents--heck, my PARENTS--had those godaweful faux midcentury furniture w/ the (questionable) color scheme (is it salmon? pink? taupe? I just don't know  :P).
Like you alluded to: I just can't wrap my head around a jedi wearing...paisley or some such anachronistic color  ;D

So just an update: got my shirt and the XXL fits like a charm; I think it'll compliment my ensemble perfectly.  And I can attest to the shirts color: the grey IS grey 😁
