Character/Costume Description
Tunic and tabards are made of Ponti
di
Roma. The tabards have been re-
made
and dyed to
appear more brown than grey (like
the
original set did). The tabards were
sewn in
a v-
shape, the tip of the v ending behind
the
neck, underneath the scarf. The scarf
was
made
from crepe fabric so I wouldn't die of
over-heat during the warmer season
and
it falls better
around the shoulders than heavier
fabrics.
Gauntlets were made with brown
pleather.
In addition a piece of sintra was
sandwhiched
between two layers of pleather to
create a
thicker, more solid section for the
backhand
guards.
Belt was made using the same brown
pleather as the gauntlets. A narrower
belt
goes
through the wider one. Buckles were
cut
out of sintra and painted silver. The
whole
thing
ties up with a combination of velcro
(the
wider belt) and a parachute snap
(the
narrower
belt).
The obi was made out of knit fabric
and
is
two layer thick. The bottom layer is
made
of two
long rectangles atop of each other
with
a
layer of interface in-between. The
second
layer
was made using two rectangles, each
with
one end cut at a 45 degree angle to
overlap each
other. Bias tape was first added to
the
angled sections, before they were
sewn
onto the rest
of the obi.
The rest (pants, lightsaber, boots)
were
bought.
