Black waxed denim pants, with seam on the back of the knee, and four 1in darts angled at each point of the four corners of the knee.
Granted, this falls to assuming he is wearing the same pants as he does in his Kylo Ren attire, which based on the context (and the fact he's still wearing his Ren boots), isn't unreasonable.

Hi there. it looks like you have a good start on this. I've completed the breakdown and reference thread for this costume. That can be found here:
http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1108444#1108444
I can assist with a draft revision of the standard if you'd like (I was planning a scratch written one, but then I saw this)
Additionally, for the pants, boots and hair, I'd advise viewing the TLJ Kylo CRL from 501st here: https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:KyloRenSupreme
The segments there for pants and boots should match entirely, and it also describes the cut of Ben's hair, if not the exact styling from the scene.
If you would like my assistance in any capacity on this, please do not hesitate to reach out. |

| I'm thinking maybe the burn marks should be optional? I think the only saber that has that right now is the Galaxy's Edge reforged they recently released and I don't believe they're requiring TROS Rey's to have them as long as they have the brown strap details |

Graflex detail judging in general has previously been a little /wobbly hand gesture.
The burn is pretty visible on the hero prop imo, but I agree: the standard should be consistent.

I did a write up on the standard, which I submitted to the proposals, I was advised to move this into this thread by Agustin. Here's the standard draft I wrote up:

-It is comprised of varying lengths: shorter in the front and progressively longer towards the back.
-May be achieved with the individual's own hair, extensions or high quality lace front wig.
-An Alexander the Great styled haircut should be used, which has three varying lengths: Just above the eyes in front.
Below the ears on the sides (though should still taper and have varying lengths). Down to the shoulders in back. These varying lengths should not be abrupt; they should blend and transition well into one another.
-The hair should not be straight. It should have some curling and look unkempt. It should be swept back and have no visible part.
Tunic

-Tunic is mid thigh length with no waist seam or back yoke.

I saw one of the prop sabers at Hollywood Studios yesterday, and the burn marks are very visible. Its not glaring but its a detail that sets the saber apart from its prior counterparts.

| Weighing in to say that we have not been currently looking for burn marks on the sabers when judging the Reys. And I would vote to keep that consistent as this is the same prop. The judging of Graflex's in general has always been rather loose. For example if you have the Luke or Anakin version as a Rey you're still accepted. So I would suggest the burn marks be optional. So long as you obviously are going for the reforged look I would think it would be fine. |

I think keeping the standard worded as a “textured material” is best. While I agree it has the look of cotton gauze in a few shots, in others it looks to be much thicker. For comparison, here is a fabric I located against the fabric used. The fabric on top is not gauze but a knit but has very similar weave.
Also the wording of the pants. Can that be more specific? Right now the proposal says “coated”. This could be confusing for those unaware of how Kylo’s pants are made designed.
Thanks for starting this thread, Jen. I know many people are interested in this costume.
