I've wanted to do this for a long time...

It's costume day here at my work, because not everyone will be in on Friday's, and after a long time of saving up (I'm super picky about quality/materials) I finally got to wear.. this! Only a headshot, but rest assured I have the belt, boots, pants and all the other bits.

wish i could wear mine at work...but i work in a kitchen and have no plans on dirtying up my good clothes :woohoo:

Neato! I should get around to getting a full robe setup.

That looks great Cayce. Where did you purchase these from?

Thank you!

I picked it all up from Twin Roses Design.

All custom made, but totally worth it. The tunic and robe are so comfortable I find myself wearing them all the time.

Awesome. I am familiar with them. When I am ready to order, I plan on doing it through them as well. There items look amazing.

Very nice! I really like the color of the under tunic! Makes me think about maybe changing mine around. I made a set a few years ago. I made everything but the boots and the lightsabers. Wore it to work once (funny story there...wasn't suppose to be doing customer service work but a high priority job came up, was the only one around, and the user agreed that it was ok I wasn't in uniform...then I walked into the wrong building, all Jedi'd up. Two lightsabers at my hips and a laptop over my shoulder. Naturally it was an officer I first ran into *eye roll* )

I'm looking forward to wearing it tomorrow. I was pregnant last year. Unfortunately I work in a maintenance squadron now so they don't let us dress up lol.

It does look great! I'd like mine in Nomex (with an orange inner lining), so it can double as a fire blanket (or distress signal) :lol:
Ok perhaps not with the orange lining...

I like that idea!!!

I always wanted a robe I even want a real lightsaber and by real I mean one of those heavy duty sabers you can combat with and not one of those Walmart toys where it has 3 pieces and slides out. But I'm broke have been since birth. A friend last year said he was going to give me a robe for my birthday and this Saturday 21st is my birthday and one year past and I still can't save for a robe. Sorry nice robe tho. Idk why I'm always sad when one thing I want is a robe and a light saber and can't afford it and see other people have it. Life sucks. Lol it does. I'm thinking I might have to put a kidney on the black market for a robe and a light saber. I mean #7 comes out next month. My girlfriend lost her job. She was supposed to help with half of car payment and insurance car payment is 320.66 and insurance is 210.75 then I have 260 to pay for court for an accident in June in my first car wreck which is well over 800 dollars my check is a 1000 which 200 dollars can't pay for a robe and light saber I've seen all the star war films and even went to the theatres for 1 2 and 3 but for the first time I would like to dress up and fight some sith out in the parking lot. And I won't be able to. It's just fustrating

Look I'm sorry. Today is the anniversary of my grandma's death. We watched return of the Jedi and she passed away that night in her sleep. She was the one who introduced me to Star Wars. I really really miss her. My mom was never there and she basically raised me and was my mother. She'd always say whenever I was having trouble Use the Force Jimmy use the Force. I even told my grandmother once that I didn't think the Force was with me as I couldn't force shove a bully into the pool I stood there with my hands out trying to use the Force I was 9 lol hard day hard day. Sorry.

garbtheworld.com sells good heavy fabric robes for $60+ shipping, and you can build a pretty good saber hilt with a quick visit to the plumbing aisle of the local hardware store, and usually only spend about $40-$50 max...i built one for my nephew out of pvc and a few parts from the now defunct radio shack for a total of $28 (approx)....

i know how it is when finances are tight....i spent a good long time unemployed, i now work for the state and as a state employee we don't get paid much, but we get loads of benefits...i'm still trying to figure out how to get a new vehicle until i can get a new motor for my mustang....sadly it would cost about the same amount for either option...and given the choice i'd rather have my mustang back up and running...

I wish we had this kind of stuff in Brazil. The cheapest Jedi robe I can find here is imported and cost 690 brl.

I'll see if I can find all the instructions for the robe, (if you know any, I'd love it) and then I'll buy the cloth and ask my wife's aunt to do it for me.

go to the rebel legion's website, they have a forum thread there with patterns....in fact now that i think about it i have the pictures i can post...

My weight fluctuates so much I'd have to order multiple obi's/belts! :S

actually you can get one that uses velcro and is adjustable....or even make one adjustable by adding velcro closures....
