Chicago.Jedi in costume

[chicago.jedi]

I have been bumming around this forum for a while, posting pictures of sabers I have built, but it occurred to me that I have never posted a picture of my full Jedi costume. I recently did some improvements to it and took some pictures so I figured this is a good time to share some pics of my Rebel Legion approved costume.

I did all of the sewing myself. I am a noob to saber smithing but I am very experienced and accomplished in sewing and costume design. The tunic, tabbards, inner tunic, and cloak were all hand made by me. I also hand made the belt and all of the pouches from scratch. The boots are modified Red Wing welders boots. I made the padded collar to make them the proper height for RL approval. The pants are from Walmart (it was just easier that way).

Here is a close up of the saber. It is the first TCSS saber I built and it is still my favorite. I simply call it The Knight. It has a green Rebel Star and NB sound card.

A great costume. Very nice, complimentary saber.

[jedimastergarcia87]

Yes very nice. Love the saber too.

[setelf3of5]

Nice work on the costume...the saber is also looks very nice. Great job on both. Since you are very experienced with costumes, would you mind if I 'PM' you some questions?

[jedimastergarcia87]

I have a simple costume I did but no custom saber yet. Its leather tabbards and obi, did the mock turtle neck shirt style type, its a brown and black color theme for my costume. Black shirt, pants, and belt, then brown tabbards, obi, and boots. =] I'll get a custom saber done eventually though.
