Title: Short Sleeved Hoodie???
Post by: Jedi Knight Matatabi on April 22, 2014, 02:08:11 AM
I cannot for the LOVE OF THE GREAT FUZZY LORD IN THE SKY (I like to think god is a wookie) find a brown short sleeved hoodie. Google, ebay, and amazon all betray me.

I'm trying to make a modern jedi outfit and this thing is the main piece that puts it together.
I found a sleeveless one and almost bought it but they apparently don't ship to the US.

Either sleeveless or short sleeved will work (preferably the latter of the 2. t-shirt hoodies don't count). Can anyone lend a hand?


edit: here's the one I almost bought.

in the list its called Chocolate Brown.
Anything close to that color would be PERFECT.

cut short the sleeves on a normal hoody, then hem them? if you don't have access to a sewing machine than I suppose that would be less of an option.

there has been some discussion about modern Jedi, and my thinking has changed slightly, I think guardians/knights would wear BDU type clothes under their cloaks, a consular might wear suits or something like that. But every persons views are different.

I'm thinking of more of a hooded ninja kind of thing. But with the standard jedi robes color and of course a lightsaber instead of a sword.

I'm not sure you have a problem. I checked in the description, and it says they deliver to the US... The links here are screenshots:

Unless you've contacted them and they said otherwise?

It says it ships to the US. But then under exclusions it says "North America"......
I contacted them and they said they don't ship here.

Oh, okay. That's weird. Unless you find another one, then you could try cutting/hemming the sleeves of a normal hoody. :/

There's a brand in the UK called Criminal Damage... They used to offer what you're looking for.

Nice. I actually have a sleeveless/hoodless vest that could work for this, but what about an under shirt?? Maybe if I want like a grey Jedi look just use a grey long sleeve, black pants, and belt? I don't have black boots though. This is a cool idea.
