G'Days John. That weekend was certainly a blur for me. So many costumes, so many hours. But glad you found your way here. I know we had a few people come to the 501st/RL stand interested in joining either club or both. Now we can get to know you better.
As it says I'm Hopfot, many call me Hop or Hoppy. If you saw me over the weekend, I was a Jurrasic Park Raptor Handler, Red and White Mando with a big flowwy red cape, and a black, white and blue Jedi.
I read you are looking at a Jedi and wondering on the fabric. First things first, if you haven't already, study the CRL found here
http://www.rebellegion.com/jedi-costume-...s-generic/ . This is the CRL for Generic Jedi. You may even want to take a look through all the CRLs at other future costumes
. As for fabric, it's kinda your choice as to what you want, so long as your final costume meets the CRL standards. A tip for combating heat, avoid leather or anything leather-like for tunic or tabards (I didn't and I pay for it, with my black pleather tabards). However I went for a sleeveless outter tunic and as it states in the CRL you just need a long sleeve Inner Tunic. So that's a way to combat the heat.
