I did a search and didn't see anything on here about it so I'm posting it.
Does anyone know where I could find a tutorial and/or things I could buy at a store?

Thanks.

What things, specifically? It would help to know which costume you are wanting to do, what accessories you're looking to get.

And posting pics from novel covers or whatever source you have is good. We are visual people here on these boards.

Hello,
You're going to find that most of us promote creative ways to build things yourself.
If I were you, I'd start my search at;

Green jedi? Cool. Throw in a green robe (perhaps one of the KOTOR II ones) and I'd certainly go for it.

I would say try looking around at some military surplus stores. The shirt and pants look pretty similar to standard BDUs. At the very least that would give you a good starting point, and they tend to be pretty cheap. Try your local army navy store, ebay, or google "military surplus". As for the belt, there are plenty of people out there making leather star wars belts, but they can be a little expensive. It's worth it to check out the Jedi Council Forums. They would have plenty of links for you there.

Yeah, I never thought about that, your right.

Thank you TimeRender, I'll check out my local store. And I have a pretty good idea as to where I can find the belt.

It's from the cover of a Japanese version of one of the New Jedi Order series' novels. I just don't remember which one, off hand. I think the fatigues are described in the book as being grey or black, not green, though....

ok here is how you can make the costume.

Top- U.S. Army O.D. Green Fatigues vietnam war( Jacket )(with a little modifications you can make the colar stand up like that)

Pants- U.S. Army O.D. Green Fatigues vietnam war( Pants )

Belt- Get one of those belts that lock by clipping it and use that

And of course finally get the saber :)

youre welcome

and here is the link to where you can get brand new vietnam war era fatigues. they are brand new unissued clothing so you can buy with ease.

Real simple, go to a military surplus store buy a green flight suit, thats more or less exactly what hes wearing.

They're not green in the books. Depending on which NJO one you read, sometimes they wear black, brown, sandy or dull orange.
Based on flightsuits, but with slightly more padding for better protection against melee weapons.
Silent Bobs flight suit would be a good starter base, but not the color.

It's corellian jedi that tend to wear green. Check out Corran Horn & kids.

Flight suits come in a multitude of colors, the webpage i took the picture from sold that suit in several other colors as well including tan, brown, black, orange or whatever. Good luck

Like I said, it would be a good base, so just Dylon it to the colour you want.
You can pick them up at pretty much any army-surplus store.

You'll have to post pics when you get it done.
Check out the Jaina hilt in MHS forums for peoples ideas there.

Thanks guys! I think your right about the flight suit Bob.
I won't bother with the saber for awhile tho. I'll probably get it some time next year when I'm closer to being 18. Can't wait to join rebel legion! :mrgreen:
