Here's my favourite pic of my Obi-Wan inspired robes so far ... 
... and yet, there's still more for me to alter ... it's never ending!

Someone suggested motorcowboy for boots - I had a REALLY BAD experience with them. They sent me the boots in the wrong color, and cut in a way not at all like their photos ( I took them to a cobbler who said he could do nothing with them based on their cut). To their credit, since they goofed the color totally, they re-made them (but I had to pay $25 return shipping!), but again, despite my request to make sure the cut of the front tongue looked like their photos, they came ALL WRONG. Even friends who aren't into Star Wars ask me why they look that way (!) So, $425 later, I have a pretty poor pair of boots. And the maker won't even respond to emails now. Contact me for photos - jramza@hotmail.com. I'd be glad to back up my words. Your call - do some research - and buyer beware...

I am really sorry did not work out for u. I had some problems too. Jim Evans, Motorcowboy owner did the same for other members here. But HE paid for the arrangements the local cobbler did. I bought them in eBay, I pay 399 plus shipping and the they came in time. I used them for my wedding night. I danced the whole night and felt pretty good. I know, right now, that THEY ARE NOT movie accurate.
This is the thread I started on RPF forum before buy them on Jul 11 2006:
http://www.therpf.com/index.php?showtopic=113464&hl=obi-wan+boots
I did not know about the movie accuracy problem at this time. Nobody there told me anything about the faults the boots had. So I bought them. Despite the movie accuracy they an impressive work. I do not know If they worth what I paid. Just check for other boots makers before buy boots. This is why I learn. Hope that helps! I will look for a local cobbler to replicate the boots the way I did with the belt buckle and all the stuff I did.

Check out this fabric! I've made my brother's costume out of it. The weave is slightly finer, and the color a little light, but it's pretty close! The crinkle is awesome! And actually, the real fabric is a pain since it's so see through, so I'm kind of glad this is a finer weave, I didn't have to line the costume!

Indeed. The fabric is amazing. Even better than the one I found in Argentina. I bought 10 yards last year and received them today. I am really impressed. I will remake my tunic for C4 using this fabric. ASAP I do a comparison I will post it here as I did before. Thanks HeatherD and May the Force be with you!
PS: I received my wedding photo samples. I hope to have them ASAP to post them here.

Rebel Agent, I'm so glad you got some of the linen gauze from Vogue Fabrics and that you liked it! I wish fabric would come in unlimited quantities :o( Maybe sometime in the next week and I can see if the people at the site know anything about where it came from.
Oh, and congrats on your nuptuals! :oD Looks like we're still waiting for pics ;o)

Yeah, congrats Diego. Even though that's a little late.
In OWK news, I got some fabric finally from another costumer. Nice weaved cotton linen with the crinkle through it. Light but not see-through which is nice.
