Rogue Jedi Costume Build!

[Ninja-Jedi]

the costume looks good already but if your looking for suggestion u could try to weather it prob some tutorials out their u can find, maybe for extra flair u could make  a powered up device of some sort purely prop but u could add LED to give a powered up look but i think it looks good as is also well done

[Stockton]

Yeah I have been toying with the idea of adding some kind of power box to it. Not good with electronics though lol

[Solinus]

I think it's fine the way it is. If I were to add anything to the shoulder piece itself would be an insignia of some kind. Maybe a marking of your house, or a clan marking or something.

[Stockton]

There's a good idea. I think I'll look into that. Thanks Solinus!

i was thinking that a cowl or wrap would do nicely to cover the straps. I can't find a picture of what I mean, can't quite seem to type the right words in google... whatever. Anyway, what I am talking about would be a light loose material that would just wrap around your chest and back under your arms tighter at first and then sort of drape around your shoulders and neck, leaving the shoulder guard open of course, and either tucking back into the tighter part or hanging behind you. I hope that makes sense.

oh, I found a pic of something similar looking, but not exactly. Anyway, maybe that would do the job.
 

if that's not a look you like, then even just adding a strap going diagonally down from the harness to maybe just hang around one side and then up to your back or something would break up the lines and draw the eye...

I actually do want some kind of cowl buy i have no idea how to make one

I might be able to try something with that. Thanks Relmeob! I was thinking more along the lines of something like this though. Just not covering the face and basically be over one shoulder so the shoulder guard could be revealed.

[Master Rel]

That is easy enough, just a large sleeve cowl...a fabric tube.

Your only real issue will be heat...that much fabric to get the appearance as noted will be so hot.

You will need to find a lightweight fabric that will not weigh itself down...a dyed muslin would work I think, inexpensive also.

[Stockton]

The part I want is just the piece that goes over his shoulders. I don't want any sleeves of any kind. It seems rather simple but I have no idea where to start!

[Master Rel]

Lol, no worries...it is called a sleeve cowl because of the shape, there is no sleeve.

Picture a tube sock...cut the foot off...you have a tube or sleeve.

If this were larger then you could wear it as a a cowl.

That is basically it...find some decent fabric that lays nicely, cut it with a gentle taper, make one long stitch, put it on.

Easy peasy   

[Stockton]

You are the man! Sorry I didn't catch what you were saying previously. Makes total sense now though and like you said seems very easy!

[Master Rel]

Very easy project...use tape to make your "stitch" first, to test the lay and fit.

[Stockton]

I will do that. Thank you so much Relmeob. I will probably go get the fabric sometime this weekend and try that method out. Should look real nice I think

[Akos_Amun]

So I grabbed a sash I have for another costume and wrapped it around my neck and shoulder and this is what happened. it is just wound around me a few times so making something that is stitched to itself would undoubtedly make better on my attempt.


I think you will end up with something that will be awesome for your outfit. I'm excited to see what it finishes up like
