I was interested in buying a robe for a few reasons:

1.) I need something to walk around the dorm in
2.) looks awesome
3.) Warmish
4.) I think the robes are a great and are more seriously taken symbol of the Jedi and could be used so people can identify a Jedi as such. There was a discussion about this and model lightsabers in a earlier forum topic but i thought robes might fit better. (see what i did there ;))

So, i was wondering if there were any TOTJO trusted robe sellers that i could shop at. Thank you.

Nobody who sells Jedi robes can be trusted...

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

I think that's a little unfair to say :P

There certainly isn't a particular TOTJO-approved robe shop, as we don't encourage the purchasing of robes (not that we discourage it either, but in general robes are something that the Temple doesn't concern itself with).

I'm sure that many individuals on the site have robes and can give personal recommendations though.

I'm not sure how serious you were, but that's funny! :D

As for the question, would it be possible for you to make your own? I know a few people have crafted their own light sabers (not me). I think crafting a robe might be a fun idea for those who are interested? Unless you're like me and have a fear of sewing machines... :P

I know of some online stores that sell individual robes and custom costumes but also standardized Star Wars apparel. A google search may give you a few. I'm afraid though I cannot recommend any since I haven't had business with either one and cannot say anything about their reliability...

Better to leave questions unanswered than answers unquestioned

Thank you all for your responses. I'm kind of over it now, must have just been a phase induced from too much ginger beer :P.

RyuJin, Do you happen to have a template you use, or do you just wing it? And do you only make your robes, or do you also do tunics and pants? I've been trying to find a template online for ones I like, but I haven't had much luck.

I'm not RyuJin, but I've made my own just-about-everything at least once. I'd suggest, if it's your first time trying to make Jedi-style robes, that you take a peek at one of the pre-made patterns (like Simplicity 5840). They've got the majority of the guesswork taken out of them (if you need help reading them, let me know in a PM, and I'll help you), but even if you don't actually use the pattern, the shapes of the pieces should help explain a good starting point.
