Saber Forum

Was flipping though the websites posted and I was wondering about some of the relevance of a solid color brown, black, tan kilt instead of pants.  Any thoughts?

The only problem I can see with wearing a kilt while doing saber choreography is... well...  when you do spins and some of the moves, you could flash the world that which should not be flashed.  As a kilt wearer, I know a little about what I'm talking about.

well of corse i couldent go traditional... well i could but yea i would rather protect those things.

Just remember, the only thing you wear under a kilt are boots... anything else is just a skirt.  :P

Could I possibly ask you to add my leather shop to your list?

Sable Manticore
Armoury.housemanticore.com
We do custom leather work as well as leather work for fantasy/medieval groups.  Which is not that far off from Star wars era.  We can do holsters, utility belts and so on.

Are klhoescustomclothing good to order from for Jedi/Sith costumes? I might try for one this weekend. Doing a Sith costume though. I'll be applying at TDA as well with the costume. (From Etsy I mean). Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone had dealings with My Wicked Armor recently? I try to contact him through the website, it's been a while now and still no response. I read that he's incredibly busy, so it might just be normal, but I'm not sure if my message went through (no confirmation or anything). On the other hand, I don't want to spam him either :) What to do?

It takes a long amount of time for him to respond unfortunately. Usually he's very busy, but if you're patient he should respond.

Now if the time between your initial email reaches an outstanding time difference (say a month for example), then just politely send him another email.

Can anyone recommend a sight that ships to South Africa to get Mandalorian armor? Thanks

Finished or components?

Components.

Yes. A finished outfit, or just raw components to DIY

I meant individual armor pieces, such as the chest plate, or the gauntlet.

There are a couple of places on Etsy that sell sets of armor to make your own. These are raw material pieces not finished atricles ready to wear, mind.

I have used Twin Rose, Cornelian Imports, and Civilized Galactic gear. They all have great quality. You can also find many good deals on costumes and props on Etsy. Many artists on Etsy and Customade are easy to work with on custom pieces

I just check some of these places out. Most of the stuff is pretty cool. Some is a litlle pricy, but I think the degree of work justifies the cost.

Twin Roses is definitely good, I know I push them often but it's for a reason.  They're easy to work with, and honestly not that expensive as long as you keep things simple (you can even order standard stuff off the site).

Just making sure these sites are still legit to get myself kitted out.   Beyond the last two posts it was a few months, and its been a couple years since the top post was edited.

Ive got a big beard, if that makes a difference.    brown/cream/forest green are generally my colors, sometimes splash of scarlet.  I prefer obi's style of clothing.. Thanks for the help.

Off white and dark brown are my colors

Although I ultimately decided to buy a sewing machine and make my own Sith-inspired costume(s) (click to see my post here ([url]http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=25307.0[/url])), I stumbled across the following site based out of China (click > CosplayTailor ([url]http://stores.ebay.com/Cosplay-Tailor/Star-Wars-/_i.html?_fsub=4317125012&_sid=1166983722&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322[/url]) < click) when I was originally considering a more mainstream Star Wars costume.
They also make costumes from additional movies, TV shows, Anime and a veritable plethora of other themes.

In the interest of fairness, I have included a "Star Wars Cosplay ([url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC2.A0.H0.Xstar+wars+cosplay.TRS0&_nkw=star+wars+cosplay&_sacat=0[/url])" Google search result for reference. :)

May The Force Be With You All!

Point for the find. For cheap inexpensive costumes, those are halfway decent.

I have a question to ask about tunics and robes.  The pictures I see at Twin Roses and Jedi Robe America show tunics and robes with sleeves ending mid-way down the individual's fingers or completely covering the hand.  I asked both Twin Roses and Jedi Robe America if that is the proper style and fit for tunics and robes.  Twin Roses hasn't answered the question yet.  Jedi Robe America gave this answer.

"The sleeve of the tunic is meant to end halfway down your fingers.  The robe sleeve is meant to cover your whole hand completely."

My question to those of you on the forum who have tunics and robes, either made by you or purchased from anywhere, how long are your tunic and robe sleeves?  Do you agree with the answer Jedi Robe America gave me?  Or should the tunic and robe sleeves end at the wrist?

Looking for authentic Luke Skywalker costumes. I know he's the worst one to find a costume for as he wasn't given much exciting variety in the movies.

I am going as a sith to my theater I work at but I am having a horrible time trying to find pants that well fit me. Found some but they wouldn't ship to Kauai.

I am 6'4 6'5 depending on boots I wear and I am 320 pounds.

Would anyone help me out with this.

Where can I get a good set of capsules of 8 at that isn't too much? I'm going to try and be even more official by next summer =]

This is a guide listing various websites where you can buy costumes. I read through all threads about costumes and searched the web to collect this information. I have only included websites that sell items which can readily be used for a costume without the need to modify it. The first section of this post lists websites that offer items specifically designed for Star Wars costumes. In the second section you can find other costume pieces, which can be used in a Star Wars context, but are not specifically designed for that purpose.

There are subsections for different costume items, e.g. for robes. If forum members have reviewed these websites, I have mentioned if the reviews were generally good or mixed. (I have not included websites that only got bad reviews.) I have also listed prices for typical items. Note that these prices were valid when I wrote this post, but they might change in the future. The prices are only supposed to give you a rough idea, which costumes could be within your budget. Also note that detailed custom costumes can be significantly more expensive than the standard costumes listed here.

Finally, please contribute if you know any other places that offer costumes, boots, ...
Any reviews or experiences are also welcome.

I'm about to order boots and vambraces from Dark Knight Armoury ([url]http://www.darkknightarmoury.com/[/url]). 
Reasonably priced, decent looking leather goods - boots + bracers = ~$200

Thanks. I just bookmarked that site for future use. ;D

Now you're killing me smalls. I've been pouring over their replica pistol offerings. Why is there so much money I want to spend? :'(

I saw their P08 Lugers and was inspired to make a Lupin III cosplay. But then I looked up Lupin images and discovered he uses a P38. They had me covered for that too. ;D

Both are nice guns. 

Those mausers look awfully familiar...like they'd fit well strapped to a scoundrels leg, or something...hmmm   ;D

Oh cool.  I figured the weapons were just modified actuals, just never looked at it closely.

Just like I always thought Qui-gon's comlink looked a little familiar as well.

Both are nice guns.

On the subject of contact lenses, it is illegal to sell any kind of contact lens in the United Sates without a prescription. While some are listed as "cosmetic" and indeed, have no "prescribed" power in them, they are still considered a medical device to be dispensed by a health care provider, i.e. Optometrist, Ophthalmologist or licensed contact lens fitter. The reason for this is a contact lens should be carefully fitted to the curvature of the human eye and training and care needs to be instilled in the wearer. Without proper information, a person could cause themselves infections and eye health damage. Believe me, it's no fun to get an abrasion on your cornea. For those who are experienced wearers that have started with a professional care provider, seek a legitimate source for prescription grade lenses. Cutting corners to save money isn't necessarily a wise choice. Now that I've said my piece, people will do what people will do. I just felt compelled to put forth a cautionary statement. You only get one set of eyes, so treat them kindly. 

What's a good US source for Jedi gauntlets Clone Wars style besides the Rebel Legion? Might add some to my main costume =]

I think these would make great jedi boots

Finding boots is proving to be the bane of my costuming existence.  Partly due to having big feet (I take a 13-13 1/2 in boots).  Hopefully, I can find something locally rather than ordering and hoping for the best that they'll fit.

Boots, though, are (as far as I can reckon) the last bits I need to arrange for.  Everything else is ordered and I should have together by mid-January, except maybe for the helmet (and that depends on me successfully making it, more than anything).  I need to ask the head guy at the saber choreography group here if they'll be doing another set of photos in the spring, because I'd love to have good pictures of the final costume, so I can share them here.

Nice belt, jediseth. Was looking at them on amazon for around $40 to $50. Would spending the extra money be a wiser choice? I'm having difficulty looking for a black Jedi belt and a nice hooded cape.

Just received this Obi Wan Jedi belt in the mail today I purchased off Etsy From seller JedaiiLeaterCrafts.  I love it it's all leather and it was under $100. If your looking for a real leather Jedi belt for a good price it's really a good belt for the price.

Khloes does quality work?  I'm eyeing the Maul set they offer.

I'm in the process of getting my tunic done from Khloes.  I'll write my verdict once I have tried everything  :) 

And a Darth Maul set sounds awesome  ;D

as far as belts go $75 from twinroses is probably the cheapest quality belt you will find out there. (the one I'm wearing) shipping is decent as well.

Speaking of belts....I've got my eye on one from Corellian Imports (which now seems to be DOA and replaced by Legendary Costume Works). I thought it was in the neighborhood of $125 but has since gone up. ($185) But is real leather and option of brass/nickel hardware.

^^^Twin Roses or KhloesCustomClothing for a full tunic set =] As in it comes with a dickey style inner tunic.

HI, You can try Rogue’s Black Hooded Cape by Museum Replicas at lowest price.

Checkout Here: [url]http://www.museumreplicas.com/p-1813-rogues-hooded-cape.aspx[/url]

I really wish these were longer in the shin.

Damn, those are nice. Yeah those would be sweet if they were longer... they look like kid shinguards :/
Perhaps boots high enough to overlap the bottom of the shinguard and everything painted to match?

Check out Farfarawayoutfitters on Etsy, reasonably priced pieces if you want to buy them separate and they have full costumes too and angled tabbards even for us Sith :P

Who makes good, non insulated short gloves? Like just above the wrist?? Non usual Vader style

Hey all. Looking for a link or someone who knows where I can find something.
I'm looking for the sachel/back pack Rey wore at the end of SW Force Awakens.
I've seen the one from her gear when on her home planet (beginning of movie)

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you, I never even saw this.
Light side points for you.

Has anyone purchased a Jedi costume from Amazon? The one Im looking at is named Cosplaysky star wars jedi robe costume obi-wan kenobi. It's not very expensive and the reviews are quite good. If you've purchased it I was wondering what your take on it is.

I'm in search of a long style tunic for a budget Palpatine cosplay :P ROTJ style type. Can't seem to find anything under 500 x.x Even just for the under robe

Zren, try Etsy.  I see some pretty good deals, certainly less expensive than $500 (ouch).

Got any specific stores or sellers, Dutchman?  I've looked on Etsy and found a couple, one had a gray tunic but it was $500.00 or close to it.  I think another was less but they were out of stock.  Been looking for gray tunics and robe.

I used this seller for most of my Jedi costume and can say the service was great. They make stuff that can be Saber Guild, and Rebel Legion approved. Personally, I really like the texture of their “natural” fabric, which only comes in sort of an oatmeal color but can be dyed upon receiving if you want it different. Only complaint is their Obis are REALLY long and don’t include Velcro. I assume the length is to accommodate a large range of sizes though, and can be easily enough altered. Prices are also really good for the quality and product.

I spoke with them about how to size obies. They produce them long to accommodate "one size fits all". I plan on getting one and just plan to either tuck the end in the back or use my belt to hold it in place.

one size fits all????   Oh.  Never mind....   (I am WAY to big around for anything that fits "all"...)

I have full museum replica obi wan costume I'm looking to sell, it's a really heavy, quality costime, with belt and the boots. It's all zipped up in a garment bag now but can post some pics if you or anyone you know is interested.  Also have an Anakin pod helmet and an imperial guard helmet. All in great condition.  Will split up.

Any advice for puting togerther an original Sith costume? I have a few items in mind already but itema ike base layers and whether to utilize a basic jedi-like uniform or not are still floating around. I have some ideas for armor on shoulders and gauntets as well as modding a helmet, etc

So if you have any tips or ideas, I'm all ears

Like My Cohort Logos said...start simple.  But also delve into your character.  What is he/she like.  Personality is the main ingredient (imo) in coming up with a costume...especially Sith.  Attitude, strengths, weaknesses, injuries, fighting style...I thought about all this for my costume.

Thanks all for those tips. I have been pulling ideas from various sources. I really like the long tunic/tabards Darth vader wears under his armo and found an overlong sweater that looks very close. Ill try to post links to some of my choices when I get a chanc. How do you guys tackle variety in the all-black world of Sith costumes? I plan to break it up by making arrmor pieces a hand hammered gray-black with plenty of damage.

Here is the collection of parts that I have come up with so far.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ImBwxsW8_5mfrtkOx4JGqYumdXHGyH1z?usp=sharing

The gauntlets (minus the fins and with some mods) and shoulder armor would be done in EVA Foam

The 2 masks are interesting. I'd further mod and repaint the Gray Fox mask to separate it from its origin.

The undercoat would be worn like the long tabards that Vader has in his costume with a utility belt (again...like Vader)

I would further add a Vader-esque cape and a hood that would attach between the layers of the shoulder armor.

 I'm still looking for base layers and anything below the belt....So any ideas there would be welcome.

Looking to start my gauntlet build. Does 2 layers of 3mm foam sound flimsy? Recommendations? Base layer of 10mm with 2-3mm for detail?  The pattern I have suggests 2, 3mm layers.

Does anyone have opinions/experience with the above Jedi costume, want something decent as a start point

Appreciate the help

Hi cwfox0,

I recently purchased this exact same costume but I bought direct from Cosplaysky's site. It is a good starter costume to modify. The tunic isn't as bleached white as it looks in the product photos - it has a biscuit like sand colour to it. The material is a nice single layer medium weight linen that will look great when it ages (or if you weather it yourself) The "inner tunic" is a length of material that is stitched to the inside of the tunic collar and wraps around to form a mock inner garment. The tunic itself isn't lined but depending on where you're located that may be good or bad. The pants are regular straight legged and have zip front and button fastening, pockets and belt loops. The tabbards and Obi sash are nice and double thickness. The Obi has velcro strips to close it. The tabbards are a good length (in relation to the tunic) but do need securing to the tunic either by permanent sewing in place or as I did, sew press snap fasteners on the shoulders of the tunic and the underside of the tabbards to prevent them sliding off your shoulders. The cloak is lightweight polyester and non-lined, but again this could be a plus or minus. It hangs well and actually looks better than I thought. The pleather belt and pouch probably will need replacing with a more substantial one if you're gonna hang a saber off it. I am 6ft tall and slim build but the Men's Large size fitted me well.

There were a few "unfinished" threads that needed trimming, nothing serious, it will need a few tweaks but as I said at the start I think this makes a good base to start from. Hope this helps.

That does help as everything else i've seen either doesn't look great or is a lot more expensive. Any recommendations on the belt and boots?

I posted all of my costume elements with links to where I purchased on another thread (show us your jedi costume…or something like that). The belt and boots may interest you. If you want upgraded pants try dockers d2 chinos…Ewan wore them on set.

Hi cwfox9, I am currently looking for a decent belt and pouches as we speak. The problem is the same with the belt as it is with the costume, you can buy a cheaper Pleather belt but it may not last as long as a quality real Veg Tan Leather belt.
However I did buy a pair of boots from an equestrian supply company that provides equipment for polo teams. They sell Star Wars inspired boots and actually make Qui-Gon Jinn replica boots (as well as other characters + generic Jedi boots) which set me back $300 - however the boots are so good I can use them for my outfit and for everyday use if I need to. The company is called Gladiator-Polo (US based) if you want to check them out.

It comes down to what you can afford, how often you're going to wear them and the level of quality you want.

Appreciate the help, I'm not looking at the moment at anything serious, more mess around and possible go to a con so those boots are a bit steep for me.

My gauntlet templates are looking about ready for phase 2....transfer to card stock

10 mm might be a little much for the top. 6 would likely be enough on top of the base 6

looking at the references I have for the "virtual" version of the bracers, the top "shield shaped" areahad a bit of height to it. So, I'm just guessing on foam sizes. I guess f I dont like the results, I can always raffle the off to one of you and try again ;-)

These are the references I am using to create the bracers. I figured that the top just needed to be larger...but if the man says 6mm....then I trust the man!

EL tape might be best. This is what they used for the suits in Tron:Legacy.
Then you could mask the pattern in electrical tape

Hi mrg149,

Do you mean a full trooper outfit with helmet etc or a Jedi clone armour set (like Obi-Wan and Anakin in TCW)?

I have found a clone war era Jedi set for roughly $222 on ETSY and there are a few listings for templates to make full trooper foam armour.

EDIT: I'll drop you a PM with links as I'm not sure how good the vendors are but you might want to take a look ok!

FT: THANK YOU for the info.

"B Pull" armor is product that is slightly defective in some way and thus cheaper when sold.

Thanks for the links, this should be a merry rabbit hole to descend into.

And today I learnt what B-Pull armour is too. Thnx!
