MedicineMan's Jedi Uniform

[MedicineMan]

In order to join the Dantooine Base of the Rebel Legion, I have started to work on my Jedi uniform. This is following padawan's guide as well as WilliQueen's guide on the robes. I am using the base pattern of Simplicity 7438

I present to you the Bed Sheet Jedi:




What is left are some minor modifications to the bed sheet robe prototype, before buying the actual material. I'm trying to find the best wool available that is as movie acurate without the weight of full-on wool.

Once completed, I'll post pics of the finished robe.

I'd say you have a new trend in Jedi fashion there! All kidding aside though the pattern looks great and I'm certain your final robe will look just as good when it's finished. Looking forward to seeing your results.

Good mock up and a much cheaper way to go to get it right. It's looking good so far, dude! Take a look at suit weight wools....

Bed Sheet Jedi... LMAO... that's priceless man!

But an awesome start to hopefully an epic jedi robe!

A Jedi's simple woolen robe is a symbol of his poverty, of his eschewing material wealth and comfort in favor of his connection to the Force and servitude to beings throughout the galaxy.

This just means that you're a super-impoverished Jedi, and therefore must be of a level of bad-assedness that puts Yoda, Mace, and the whiney Chosen-One all to shame!! =D

I would like to request a link to the guide if you don't mind. That would be something very cool to do.

After looking at the swatches i got from B Black & Sons. I'm going to go with their Dark Brown Flannel Wool.

Go with cotton, not wool. Unless you're wearing this exclusively in winter climates. Otherwise you will overheat.
