Nice looking staff/spear there Waxman
Thanks. I swear I'm not overcompensating for something.

In discussion with Twin Roses at the moment about getting a costume upgrade, namely the tunic and under-tunic.
Actually, I think your costume is pretty cool as is. Just having the tabards with the rolled up sleeves gives it a grittier look, rather than the standard tunic-tabards-obi setup you see with Jedi ensembles. Then again, I'm just a fan of going against the grain as far as SW costumes go...

Thanks Nero. I appreciate it. The costume that I'm looking for is actually more along the lines of the NJO, so I'm right there with you actually.  I prefer simplicity and functionality above all this. It's for this reason that the tabard is actually joined in the back. In fact, the costume I have in mind is based off [one of] Jaden Korr's designs. Possibly with a torn-sleeves variant. I just don't like the karate-gi is all and the thickness of it, along with the ever-pervasive wrinkles. It's annoying.

So I got the lady a Libby v3 in Bane's Heart and it is kinda crushing my v2 Libby in SY in this shot...  More recently, I went to a party dressed like a Pirate and this happened...   Don't judge me.

I'm working on some ideas for another Twin Roses costume as well, partially inspired by the sleeveless tunics I've seen from Jammo and Lucien. Either grey or steely blue over a black shirt of some type, we'll see what I come up with.

Just thought I'd share this image of "The Count", so forgive me if you've seen it before. lol I just need to get a cloak/cape for this, and Twin Roses seems like about the only place to get on....a nice one, at least.

I would have a look at some online renaissance clothing stores. Some of them have some really quality-looking robes/capes/cloaks and some of them even have themed clothing like Star Wars. Here is one particular site I have used before that offers some good-quality products: http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/

That's great Jammo!!!  If my hubby was more willing I'd be trying to practice Lightsaber combat with him, but he's not really into it. lmao Point for a wifey willing to learn! And Venturous - YES! make sure! Otherwise, it's not as fun when you get so excited over a new comic or lightsaber/etc and they just raise their eyebrows and shrug. Point!

I shall have to look to see if there are any in the UK and if they can do size alterations, as I have wide shoulders, but don't want a "to the floor" drop.
