RE: Obi Wan's Episode III Costume/Lightsaber

Hello everyone, and Happy thanksgiving slightly belated!!!
I found some incredible fabric for a jedi cloak ages ago, and I bought enough for 1 cloak (although I didn't know it at the time). Now, that fabric is gone--it didn't last one week in the fabric store. Too cool of stuff. Anyway, after seeing the first cloak, my brother has wanted one, and I've been trying to find fabric that would work. The fabric stores near me do not seem to have what I'm after. I know Obi Wan's was made out of wool, but that stuff is alittle itchy. I'm hoping to find some stuff that looks more like what they used for Mace Windu's cloak, where it is smooth yet with a grain and it isn't itchy.
If anyone has any suggestions/knows of a place where fabric can be bought that would work, please PLEASE let me know!!!
Also my budget isn't that big, so I'd rather do fabric that isn't more than 5 a yrd if possible.
Thank you and God bless!

Is the Singapore boots the one of the cheaper alternative ways to get Obi-Wan ROTS boots? If yes, what needs to be altered about Singapore boots to get really close to the real Obi-Wan ROTS boots in the movie?

Yes, the Singapore boots are fairly accurate and cheap. They just need to be more custom fit to your calf as the version I have the front spat is a little loose.

The simplicity patterns are a good starting point but need to be altered slightly to be accurate to the screen used tunics.

I bought a cool false beard (real hair) cause I do not want to run like a 40 years old...
Anyway. Here is how it looks like:
Any ideas where to get the sideburns from?

WELL, WELL, I AM BACK! I am a married Jedi Knight right now. I have over 300 photos from my wedding. I will try to post them all during this week as well the photos from the gear I built for the costume. Rebeca's dress was VERY IMPRESSIVE. I think she will get it into C4 next year. She will probably win something. Thanks to all for your kind messages. I am moving my stuff from my parent's house to my new house. Will take me some time. ASAP I have everything ready, I will start taking orders for pouches, belts and other gear for Obi-Wan and Anakin as well. You will see! May the Force be with you!

Hey Justin! Thanks!
Hope takes less than that. I'm missing my Star Wars collection, which I am planning to move during this week . Rebeca moved almost all her stuff, I am listening Madonna since Dec 10  . Do not get me wrong, I like Madonna...but I am missing John Williams...

Cause I know you won't be able to catch some details from my wedding photos I will post them before that. Here is the finished Obi-Wan Kenobi Belt Buckle Prop Replica. This is the one I used in my wedding night.
http://www.theforce.com.ar/Scripts/WebFormsLibrary/MainContainerForm.asp?iAction=2&lNewsId=99
They will be available for sale next year. I am trying to get them for around 30 dollars. The flaps really works! Check the high resolution photos! I added photos from the original one as well.

Well, this post belongs here. It is about my wedding costume, but here I will show you how I assembled the resin pouches. That will help a lot of people in the future.

Next time I will show you how I assembled the hook pouch. By the way, the acrylic bases were laser cut. Check the high resolution images.

This is the tutorial you were waiting for. The Grappling Hook Pouch assembly instructions. This is the one I used on my wedding night. I tried to put my cell phone in, but ended up on my leather pouch That will help those who are willing to buy the kit and want to know how to assembly all together.
