Re: Jedi Gear / Everyday Items

I'd end up in lock up or at least the First Sgts office at attention if I showed up wearing Jedi robes to work. When I'm off-duty, Ii tend to wear jeans or some type of cargo pants and whatever shirt fits the bill that day in \"earth tones\" colors. If it's cool out, I wear a zip-up hoodie, either black or brown. I've always got my pocket knife on me. You never know when you'll need one.

I agree with Lenny on the official function wear of whatever the Order deems.

As with some of the others here, were I to wear any garb to work, I would end up on the fifth floor of lovely Darnall Army Community Hospital for observation, hehehe, though I hear the ice cream up there is pretty decent....... Other than that, I wear fairly normal clothing, nothing outlandish, I believe that to be taken seriously, one has to act and dress accordingly.

Working in a corporate environment, I wear a suit everyday. but i often think of it as and feel it is my robes.

I found it very interesting to read what has been said, especially when I`m surrounded by people who would otherwise think I have lost my mind if I did talk about this. Certainly robes are an extended expression of a way of life. Indeed Robes are a Philosopy or even an act of faith. I spent 10 years in a religious order, and it was expected to wear the habit (robes). There were moments however when it was prudent not to wear them. After all what use are they if everyone would run away. Sometimes I found the best way of getting a free seat in a train was to wear robes, even when it was full. But if I wanted to communicate with others there was a problem. What I found meaningfull during my time in the order was when I put the robes on was: each piece of clothing had it own sybolic value and was accompanied by its own prayer. The act of vesting became a meditation in itself. It would be interesting for me to ask the forum, if the wearing of robes were not socially accepted at what moments could they be worn? Just on the side, where could I get decent Jedi robes, considering I am living in Germany?

Germany? well..unless you know the local stores..your best bet would be online somewhere that you like, or you could do like me and make your own! lol.

This is an item suited to everyday wear. I would gladly pay for and wear one with pride. Does anyone know of a place that can fab something like this...that is if we agreed and a design accepted by the group. Just a thought.

Its a really nice ring and I think a good idea!

Its an pic I snagged off of ebay and photoshopped in our star, we may ultimately choose something else but an image helps to get the imagination going. Of course if we go with a ring I think that there would have to be two types, one for the fellas and one for the ladies or maybe something in between.

that is a cool ring...but it's kinda manish....we would need to have 2 options...one for smaller, less manly hands and that one.

i am down to wear it anytime let me know how much.
