With the tabards I think I would totally go scarf because you could essentially make it look a bit like half-tabards if it was long enough. A vest doesn't really offer a whole lot in that aspect. An overcoat in brown would probably match the best. If the goal was Obi-Wan then tan or beige would be the ideal choice and all black seems a bit more Vader than ROTS Anakin.

I didn't think of that. You mean a jacket with the same kind of look of the leather vest pictured? That could work, I guess it depends on how much leather you want to show off. Anakin's boots, tabards, pouches, and single glove are the leather pieces of the costume. Leather jackets in brown are fairly common so I'd suggest asking around if someone you know has one, and you can get some idea of how it looks. You obviously won't get the full picture of how it'll look with the whole costume but it should give you some idea if its an overload of the "leather look."

Ok, well then being female opens up options easier to get away with and look common place... I'd avoid the 1st Henly listed since it has a "hard" collar outline VS the one listed further down in brown, that'd be more preferential for a smooth look. The latter one also has darker color buttons that blend better.

Then over top of that throw the Soojun Cardigan in brown or the Minibee Blouse (if you want something a little more masculine in appearance). The cardigan has nice texture and potentially "puffier" sleeves which would compliment the look you're going for in theory, but the blouse isn't bad. Either would make a good "tunic" layer, but the Cardigan has nice hanging bottom sections that compliment the look. You could leave it open, then wrap it partially like a gi/tunic they use in films and then use a safety pin to temporarily hold it till you put the vest over... or fold the buttons inward and sew the right and left sides together lower down (under where the vest will cover stitches) and pull it on and off over your head.

I'd find a brown scarf style item or similar belt type of implement to wear over the "tunic" but under your vest... then you could avoid sewing your main tunic together and simply wrap your belt over instead. Like layering it: tucked undershirt, pants, shirt (tunic), scarf style belt, vest, then outer coat; IF you even find that necessary with everything else already in place, or if it's crazy cold out. But I'd definitely choose the black coat as 1st choice and Brown 2nd choice over ever going with tan.

That vest you already have will look good on top, I'd leave it unzipped mostly and belted at the bottom still to keep it cinched closed. With those brown thigh high boots. And some black pants if you have/can find a suitable pair.

Unlike Anakin you could get away with planning/engineering cleavage into the design/final product to make it less "awkward costume" and more "modern fashionable" in appearance. Seemingly silly to say but it draws the eye a bit and makes guys find it visually appealing... although possibly unnecessary or improper depending on the setting you're wearing it in, it is a part of "modern fashion" often enough to bear mentioning/consideration.

Good luck mixing and matching to your hearts content, pretty good groundwork you've laid out so far.

Will look cool though once all put together =] Can always get a long thing of fake leather material and go for the scarf sort of tabbard look. (Old Ben Kenobi's sort of look)
