Ok so while looking at costume links at other sites and such I found this place called renstore.com

http://www.renstore.com/

They got alot of awsome stuff.

But heres the idea of what I want to do as a base plan.

Iam unsure if I want to go with the brown or the black.

They have solid colors and not just the 2tone.

So I dont know but thats for me to figure out But I was planing on going with some kinda long sleeved shirt thats got some large sleeves and some pants that are big. kinda like these.

But when I tuck the pants into the boots I want them to fall over the boots. so that way my pants stay put but I dont get that highwater look that I cant stand so much.


Then the delema what belt and boots? So many options. I love quigons boots but I hate the color of them and I dont like the idea of dye'n leather.

The best I have no idea but I do know that I dont like the idea much about it comming togeather in the back. whats the pointof a buckel if its just gonna be there for looks ya know?

and I have been having the hardest time trying to find small low profile pouches.

And I want something else to go with the costume. Like some kinda overcoat or something with say like some spaulders attached to the sholder of over coat.

If ya dont know what spaulders are heres a pic of them.

So whats your ideas and thoughts?

I also thought about maybe a helmet of some sort. maybe just a face thing like on plo koons.

Also keep in mind Iam not going for neather jedi nor sith.


Ok for some reasion they dont like people linking there items so I just uploaded the images.

Now with the paints and surcoat I can get them in the 2 colors Iam tryign to decide with, black or browns, and the shirt I can get in black or brown but I dont know what shirt yet

And I want some kinda bracers but it has to all match. Cant just throw stuff at it and make it look good. so I willl be looking around for bracers that I think will go with the outfit.

Hmm, this reminds me of an idea I had floating around in my head (plenty of room, hehe) for a costume that could easily be either jedi or medieval. Shouldn't be too hard to do. Good luck with yours, Ryma

Well I got alot more ideas for this costume.

I seen soem sweet stuff over at here
http://www.ashtonomicon.com/ Lots of awsome leather work. guy is a master of leather.

But I plan on afixing a sleeve to the left arm of the surcoat, a good sized around sleeve.

Then on the right arm/collar bone Iam gonna have a spaulder and a guard for the collar bone. and one bracer and a glove with some type of grip to it so I dont lose my huge haulking saber.

Then for the belt I dont know yet but Iam gonna have one of them sling/bandalear type things for my saber to attach to. Iam gonna take a covertech clip on the back of it and one of them CB radio mic type hangers just below it. then on my hilt iam gonna have 2 covertech knobs spaced apart so one will slide into the mic holder and one in the clip, Iam thinking of a magnet thing to guide the first one in place.

Then to keep the sling type thing off my neck and moving where I dont want it to iam gonna fix the bottem part to the belt with maybe a buckel type thing and same to the shoulder/collarbone/spaulder thingy.

then the pants are gonna be huge and baggy. with just a bit of it tucked into the boots to hang over the top half of the boots. then the boots are gonna have buckels and straps and metal plating in key places that I think are weak points of boots.(looks at last pare of boots) yeah I think iam gonna need them.

But Iam gonna go with all black and such. gonna have some leather work done and whatnot.

If you are following me here Iam doing a cross between Clouds FF7 and advent children costume.

I may purchase it for parts of the costume.


But I still want to figure out how to incorporate some kinda robe but no idea how.

what i think you should do if you want a medieval look is to get those really absurdly wide pants lol. and make them in a color of your choice, i honestly would make black/red, and then do the same for the top, for the tabards just do the same thing but make the colors vary just like a checkerboard. and then get a jesters hat and get the vader helmet, then glue the hat on the helmet, yea i know a brand knew look but it seems like a kewl idea.

HAhHA Nah I think iam gonna stick with solid black on all the colors. and I dont want to spend the cash for a vader helmet and then have to make it fit my head.
