So, if Jedi were real....

I wear my "Trust me, I'm a Jedi" shirt all the time.

[Master Lucien Kane]

Truth be told, Master Kane, I am interested.  You mentioned before that you carry your saber everyday.  As awesome as that sounds, I just do not know how someone can "pull it off".

I tend to march to my own drummer in terms of fashion, too. I like to wear a full brim hat (I get a lot of Indiana Jones comments even though it is more of a bush hat than a fedora). I would love to carry a saber in public but I am not sure I am that bold. Maybe a little inspiration from you can get me going.

My saber has become so much a part of me, it's weird if I don't have it.

I'll make a separate thread with more detail as to not thread jack Threadjack's thread... Jack

Hey, would this count?

One possibility, TJ, is to go to a second hand clothing place and look for a trench coat/duster. I've done modern Jedi stuff before wearing black pants, shirt, and black trench.

[Darth Nekesus]

I feel like the most reasonable for a modern jedi would be a white or brown hoodie,  a pair of loose comfortable sweatpants, boots, fingerless gloves, and a athletic style shirt.

[ThreadJack]

So, I've tried a few things I have already, and nothing seems to work. I need to go get a brown hoodie.....

The trench coat idea is sound Ben, I never thought of it.

And Nekesus, that's essentially what I pictured.

[BenPass]

Thanks TJ, glad you like it. Don't know what second/third hand places you have around you, but I know that here you can get all kinds of stuff. In fact, I got a great wool trench from Austria, tags still on it for less than $10

[Manroon]

I have a new suggestion. Hoodie.... sans sleeves. It provides both the impression of the cloak, and the tabbards, without the cumbersomenimity (yes, I made that word up. No, I don't care. It's a real word to me since five seconds ago.) of either.

[Volund Starfire]

Not to take away from the original conversation, but I can see it going in a different path altogether.  I am writing a bit of fiction dealing with the creation of a Jedi-like group and this is one of the things that I tackle.  After a long debate, it is decided that their dress should follow a generally uniform appearance, but with the ability for customization to a limited degree.  It is agreed that a more eastern look would be appropriate over western appearances due to the type of training they do.

The clothing is an inner tunic, trousers or skirt, outer tunic, tabards, and obi.  A leather belt, boots, and gaiters are worn as is a robe.  For most everyone, the cloth parts are white with their preference of edging color (once they reached journeyman/woman rank).  The leather parts are in black as are the robes.  Instructors also wear white hakama and masters wear black hakama.  Finally, high masters wear leather tabards over the white in a color of their choice.  Journey ranked and higher carried a katana on their belts, while apprentices carried bokken.

I would say a trenchcoat or long coat of some kind is a must maybe with a brown or grey hoody under neath some well fitting jeans with boots over the top and I think you'd be recognisable as a modern jedi.

Hmmm...maybe not that one...cause damn he is fierce lol...




Uhhh...I suspect he swings a saber but not the kind...never mind...moving on...




This comes across as more hip hop than Jedi to me...the lack of skinny jeans is most appreciated.


I think it is the combo of long coat, hoodie, skinny jeans, and boots...you either catch one extreme or the other...hardly fitting in...unless it is an intended fringe look like a crunker (though I suspect skinny jeans among this crowd would be instant ground for shunning which is street for getting a beat down), a fierce runway walker, or a goth/emo type.

No sir, I am not seeing this as a Jedi look I can get behind...maybe a modern sith because they are all rawr and yah...maybe....and then it is only getting behind them to present a decent target for apprehending and bringing them in...cause...skinny jeans + hoodie + trenchcoat = fashion crime

lol

[dhenwood]

I said well fitting I didnt say skinny lol. Not to big myself up or anything but my calves (from lifting and bjj) can barely fit into normal jeans as I discovered with my outfit for the mcm con let alone skinny jeans. But yeah hate skinny jeans, maybe a Qui gon tattoine style outfit then? bit hippyish lookign but very jedi.

[chicago.jedi]

I'm not sold on the coat...but that hair style is a must. 
NJOTB.....New Jedi On The Block.

[ThreadJack]

Yeah... I'm with Rel on this one. Those looks are not for me.

I do like the sleeveless hoodie though, thanks Wingmate!

Keep the ideas coming. Just because Halloween is over, doesn't mean we can't plan for next year.
