Hey all, a question: My daughter and I are working on a long chase/duel for our fall festival. For various reasons we're trying to stay away from the obvious SW Jedi/Sith costumes in favor of a "Street Clothes' look.
So, what are the essential elements of a "modern Jedi" outfit? Thoughts? Comments? Right now I'm leaning toward a "mercenary" kind of look for myself, as I'm the dark character, with black cargo pants, black T-shirt and loose black over-shirt. And of course my Dominix V3...

Sounds good to me so far. Maybe add a mask of some sort, like a paintball mask or some such. |

Hmm... Actually, the "ninja mask" that many snow boarders use would be very cool. Get the "Winter Soldier" look going... I like it. :-)

For a Sith/bounty hunter/bad guy - you can't go wrong with black leather. It's durable and fits/wears very well (if you're planning to play the character more than once), and it can look cool and mean. I don't recommend a jacket if you're duelling (it will severely hamper movement) but leather jeans and/or a leather vest/waistcoat would be neat. Try a local second-hand store/thrift store/factory seconds outlet for potential bargains. Velvet would also work well for Sith, I think - a dark coloured waistcoat (dark red, burgundy?); a little flamboyance never hurt a bad guy's look!

Going off of this, I am planning on buying a black gothic trenchcoat, and I am going to see if I can get a local tailor to put one of those black oversized hoods that Jedi/Sith robes have onto the coat. It will be both my costume coat, and my actual coat. |

Unlike the Jedi, Sith don't limit their potential when it comes to the Force.
I only need two strikes to win a duel: One to make my opponent open to attack, and another to exploit that opening.My custom saber: Oxyx Ignis

Actually my daughter had a great idea last night to go with a "western" feel. Long dusters and "gun belts" as it were for sabers and such. Also will probably throw in a holstered blaster. Never know when having a "conventional" side-arm might come in handy. :-)

That is a spectacular idea. Pretty sure I'd copy that if I had the cash to do it. Actually my daughter had a great idea last night to go with a "western" feel.

Also a great idea. And I love the idea of carrying a lightsaber and a sidearm. So here's a little Space Cowboy inspiration:  |

here's a take on the "Urban Sith" type look. Leather jacket, dark/black jeans, black belt. And a saber of course. haha just add in some dark makeup and it's all set for a street clothes fight.   |

Very nice Aletani!
We're getting close to finalizing the look. I'll post some pics as soon as we get it settled. :-)

What type of shoes/boots would work for this idea? I might throw something together. I have the perfect leather jacket that can work.  |

I think that's a little bit exaggerated, but i'll try to take that as a compliment....  such is my normal everyday wear after all, us nerd ladies have to stay sharp.  What type of shoes/boots would work for this idea? I might throw something together. I have the perfect leather jacket that can work. I have a pair of Romika's that I use, black leather, inside zipper, modern sleek look:  Also, these Cushe sneakers that I have work well for a more urban look, the above following along the star wars guildlines of no obvious lacing or zippers:  obviously sneakers like these and a male equivalent of the romikas i think would complement the urban outfit well, especially coupled with a leather jacket like in my pic. and I'm sorry, I don't mean to take over the thread, just giving my examples of what i would use for an Urban Sith/Jedi type outfit. |
