I looked for clothes to wear with my lightsabers. I have to say, I cannot buy a "ready-made" costume because these are usually not available in my size. And even if I practice classic medieval sword and lightsaber fights, in the current situation nobody can say when the next convention will come where I might need a costume.
With that in mind, I didn't want to pay too much money for a costume that I only wear once a year. Because of this, I was looking for clothes that I could wear in everyday life and use as a costume when needed.

The entire outfit was loosely inspired by Luke's outfit on The Last Jedi (This has nothing to do with my opinion on this movie, it's all about the outfit!).



After some research (already casual big size clothes are hard to find here) I have found some stuff I wanted to try:
  • White turtleneck sweater
  • Dark blue sweater with shawl collar and button
  • Black long hooded open edge cardigan
  • Black modern straight fit jeans
  • Black tactical belt with utility pouch
  • Black combat boots






In the meantime, all the parts have arrived and I tried them out straight away. The pictures were taken with different states of progress (e.g. the white turtleneck was not here for the first shoots). However, it is only the first attempt with no changes and pictures taken with my handycam. They were made in the hallway (hardly any space) and the light was bad. So please don't be too hard on me.  Embarrassed

Thank you for your recommendation. Sadly both pieces are far too small, so I have to looking if I could find it on the right size.
