Costume buying guide

[Lo-Thar The Murderist]

I just bought a robe from mystikmerchant.com. They seem to have good reviews and reasonably priced items. Mainly just robes and cloaks. You take measurements yourself and  put them in your order (it's really easy and only took like 2 minutes. They also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You pay through paypal (credit cards accepted), so even if you do have an issue with the business, paypal will refund you. There's also free shipping   I'll post an update about the quality of the product when it arrives!

EDIT: While scrolling through the list a second time, I actually noticed mystik merchant on there. It's been a long day......

First, thanks for making this thread. If it's not it should be permanently added. I shopped for countless hours looking for all the pieces of my costumes. I had no idea where to start so I just Google everything at first. This post helped when I found it. I purchased many items from ultrasabers, Amazon.com, eBay.com, etsy.com, leatherup.com and jedirobesamerica.com. I'll be doing a complete overview with pics soon!

I would like to add that www.etsy.com is a great resource for garments and accessories/add ons. A lot of shops on there will tweak their designs or even custom make something for you upon request.

Just thought I'd post where I bought my Jedi costume if I haven't. I'll post a couple good looking boots too. In case you need a full set for an event or whatever. The costume seller ships super fast and is good to communicate with. I would recommend more velcro for the obi and belt though. This is the generic type Jedi costumes I believe and not an Obi-wan replica or style. I got the costume though because it reminded me of Obi-wan's costume. =] Hope this helps anyone.

Full Jedi costume including robe:

could you do me a favor and check out this artist that is starting up in utah.  he has been custom making star wars latex alien masks with matching gloves. i've personally got his mon calamari set up and not only am i blown away by it, everyone else at the last convention i went to was too. here's the link and a pic of my costume to get a quick idea of his ability

i believe listing him under masks would help alot of people with their costumes
just a warning though. at the time of this posting his site is still under construction but he has pics of his products and you can contact him through the contact link at the top

Epic list and thanks for that.

A few weekends ago I travelled to JediRobe (uk) as I live on the other side of London.

While there I got a Robe and some bits and bobs.

The Robe is not Thick and not screen actuate, Its cheap and good for just popping on, I bought it as a stop gap till I made my own as I knew what the quality was going to be. (I use it to pop out if I forgot something out the car or if I am chilly).

So for a fun pay thing yes its good, but for full on authentic costuming its a no. Seeing as its so cheap Its good just to have

Best place to buy Han Solo style pants? Not exact replica, just every day pants that might be blue with red strips. Thanks. =]

[SlenderTheEnder]

Point, and in an hour I am coming back and giving another. Suuuper helpful.

[Zren Tobas]

I'm going to be going for a Mystic Merchant Force Adept cloak for my black Jedi costume here in a few days. =] I'll post full pics once I get the boots and belt made from a buddy of mine.

Just receive a awesome early christmas present from my wife. I already had a distressed Revan Mask but she spend $140 or so and got a really good value for a Revan costume. Will post photos in the next few days, once she figures out her Fire Tablet.

[Zren Tobas]

I just ordered my first Twin Roses set and they will be in next week already. I'll also post some pics when that comes in. I challenge you Revan! Its a Jedi set so. Lol.

I found an awesome website to buy Jedi, Storm Trooper and Sith Costumes. The pricing is very reasonable and the quality appears to be top notch.  The website is " Jedi Robe America"  I ordered an Obi-Wan Belt and I should receive it around Monday or Tuesday of this week. I am going to try and get photo's of it, and my sabers as well. I really need to post them. That way the members here can see the quality of their Costume Accessories and other merchandise they have to offer.

[Zren Tobas]

Nice. But I can't recommend Twin Roses enough for tunic sets. =] You can make your own which is nice if you get the set with the one tunic then you can buy a 2nd tunic in your choice color. I'll probably get the white cotton tunic for the inner tunic.

[Zren Tobas]

Is Civilized Galactic Gear good to order from? I'll be getting a set of capsules next week along with my 2nd Twin Roses tunic that I need. They also have real movie style pouches made from leather instead of flimsy resin. But I want to know if they are good to order from first though. They seem it.
