Title: My Halloween Costume (pics and text heavy)
Post by: borgishmorg on October 31, 2013, 09:58:08 PM
Howdy y'all, I just wanted to show everyone my Halloween costume, as I thought it turned out pretty decent for a last minute thing. I wore it to school today and 'everyone' liked it. About a million questions on my lightsaber (Aeon LE V3), and I had to explain it fully...
Anyways, my costume is a sort of mix between Ki-Adi-Mundi's outfit and one of Galen Marek's outfits. As they are shown here:

And here is what I came up with:
It is comprised of two old hooded sweatshirts,
some white cloth material (a lot, to make an inner tunic and the tabbard and a back hanging tassel-ish thing.),
 A brown belt,
an Ultrasabers Aeon,
some brown loafers with what I call 'Jedi Gators',
brown pants (they were some sort of stretchy sweatpant type thing, but pretty thin),
and some extra cloth from one of the sweatshirts to make my handwraps,
a sunglasses case for a belt-pouch (I literally had my Ray-Bans in there during school),
a really old cell phone in an old cell phone pouch to look like a Com-Link,
 and I had my D-ring clip on my belt as well but decided not to bring my other saber to school or on the outfit,
and a brown t-shirt to wear under everything.

Had these handwraps on both hands, but I had to hold my phone :P

Happy sabering, and Halloween, and I'd love to see what everyone else did too! :)

(Going to add some pictures with my saber tonight, when it gets dark)

Looks great!!  Well done.  The hand wraps are a nice touch.

Great job! Your costume is very complete, and I especially love the texture on your hand wraps.
Such an excellent use of regular clothes!!!!
And, using everyday things for a comlink and a jedi case is so awesome!

Thanks man! I just might attempt a tutorial on this, now that all of you seem to like it. Although, most of the items it seems I happened to find by pure luck, so it might be just sort of a guide-tutorial.

(And just aside, in my original post, I say tabbard in the description, when I meant to say tabbards plural, as there are two)
