I don't really have a backstory or anything written, but for my costume I'd like to go in the direction of a dark Jedi, since I'm not really that into all the brown. I was just looking for some opinions on the colors. Do you think a straight black scheme would be better, or an outfit with white/grey tunics under black tabbards, belt, pants, and boots? Also, by better, I mean both aesthetically and in relation to the dark Jedi's character. If it would be too out of character to have any white on a dark Jedi, then I'd rather not go that direction.

I have kicked around a Dark Jedi costume myself. Black and gray look cool, you could also go with crimson and black. You could always tweak it abit. I forgot where I found this picture to begin with but I think the middle one would make a good Dark Jedi costume.

you can pretty much go nuts with a dark jedi costume, they don't really have a standard style, some would probably look like jedi with darker less earthy colors. Others could look like bikers or punks, or even like imperial officers. The way wookiepedia describes them they're any dark force user that isn't a sith, so they really could look like just about anything.

Those are really awesome Ashron, thanks for the pic. For some reason I hadn't even thought of red XD. I think a deep crimson like you suggested would look great. Seeing as I'm not much of a seamster, I don't think I'd be able to attempt that middle picture, so maybe I'll go with a more traditional jedi structure, just with some more color. Mabye: crimson tunics and obi, black belt, pants, tabbards, boots, and possibly some bracers or even just wrappings like in the design on the left.

Although my charactor is not a dark jedi, it's a black and DARK gray color scheme. I think your crimson and black idea will look pretty good. Something I used to make "bracers" at a ren fair was some nylon cord. wrapped around my forearms.

nice one, I might consider reversing the red with the black though, would make it look more dark and sinister.

Looks good Arkai, that's pretty much what I'm going for. Something simple, and easily recognizable as a jedi.

That one is pretty interesting, Hasid.... is that some kind of leather for the tabbards? Alligator skin or something?

I always thought a mix of a Dark Jedi costume and a Mass Effect type costume with the armor would make a pretty good looking costume. You could do something like a General Kota with the almost Clone armor over a tunic with tabbards. Colors...I like the red and black, but I also like a gray and black or red and dark gray or even blue and black/gray. Masks are always a maybe...

Yep Iam sold on the green and black corellian, obiwan style. Thanks for doing that It made my decission alot easer.

The red and black obiwan style would be an awsome dark jedi costume.

I'm gonna derail my own thread for just a tick....

I was thinking of getting some bracers for the costume, and I came across this site. http://www.ravenswoodleather.com/index.html

Has anyone ever dealt with them before and know what kind of quality to expect?

SB, Jedi Ranger got his bracers from that place and loves em. He has a review of them on his website. There are also some belt possibilities if you like the blaster & saber toting jedi look.
