I. The costume must have:
Inner Tunic: This is only visible at the neckline and wrists. The original material is a dark brown silk in an irregular weave which gives it a wave-like texture. Overall the color is closest to DMC floss 3371, with the raised portions of the weave being slightly washed/bleached out. Fabrics which approximate the same color and texture are acceptable. The tunic is in a karate gi style, with a folded edging/facing along the front opening. The cuff/wrist area is fairly tight to the skin. It is not visible below the hemline of the outer tunic, and is hip length.
Outer Tunic: The original material is a dark brown, open waffle/crinkle weave using a heavy cotton thread for both warp and weft. Color is closest to DMC floss 3371. A crinkle fabric (Calcutta) giving the same overall appearance should be fine. For the facing/edging strip, the texture (linear folds) run parallel with the edge of the front; on the sleeves these run vertically from shoulder to wrist; and on the front and back of the tunic they are vertical with the torso. The sleeves are inset and gathered at the top, and the right sleeve is tucked into the top of the glove. They are larger at the wrists than for the under tunic. The outer tunic ends mid-thigh. There is a waist seam, and the facing/edging strip ends at the waistline.
Cloth Tabards: In the same material as the outer tunic, with the texture running vertically. These are the same length as the outer tunic. In the front, there is a waist seam; in back, the cloth tabards end at the waist.
Leather Tabards: The cut is simple, with a shoulder seam and waist seam. The tabards are backed (lined) with the same leather. Color is a dark brown (original was DMC floss 3371). The screen used material was a fine grained sheepskin leather, not cowhide. Sheepskin or a fine grained cowhide leather is acceptable. The leather tabards are ~3" longer than the outer tunic.
Obi: Made from the same material as the outer tunic. The texture is on a diagonal, not running horizontally.
Pants: Medium brown, lightweight cotton twill. The color of the original is close to Anchor floss 0382. These are tucked into the tops of the boots.
Belt: Two layers of leather, one wider (2 1/4" wide) than the other which rests on top (3/4" wide). Both are in a deep brown. The buckle is silver, and a rectangular snap closure type. The narrower belt is held in place with silver stud rivets. There are three pouches on the belt, one is a snap closure style in leather, one is a resin in a red brown, and the other a resin in a medium brown. Eight food pellets, two in each of gold, silver, copper, and gunmetal are attached to the belt as is a Covertec clip.
Boots: Dark brown with vertical ribbing from above the instep to the knee. Two horizontal 1" bands of leather are below the top, spaced ~1" apart.
Glove: Dark brown leather (original was sheepskin), with three silver buckles up the arm. Raised ribbing runs across the back of the hand and between the straps and buckles.
Robe: This is a sleeved robe rather than a true cloak. The original was made from an even weave, loosely woven material with the warp being a finer thread in a lighter brown (Anchor 0382) and the weft in a heavier thread and dark brown (DMC 3371). Overall, the color should fall roughly between these two, and the material be of a lightweight, flowing type. The robe is floor-length with large, long (mid-finger length), bell-like sleeves with deep hems, and a large hood. The material of the hood is gathered at the neckline, with two small pleats at the front. There is no front facing - the front edge of the robe and hood are short hemmed at ~1". The robe is not lined.
Lightsaber: Mater Replicas, a custom build, or a modified Graflex.
Hair: Your own or a wig. It should be styled in the appropriate manner which is called a long shag/modified Alexander-the-Great cut.
Make Up A scar running vertically at a slight right angle must be present for this costume running just above the eye brow and approx .5" from the corner of the right eye or last 1/3rd of the outside of the right eye. This can be acchieved through prosthetics/make up or gelatin applied in coats. Dark areas under both eyes may also be present to represent a sleepless, or stressed appearance. These may be made using very light brushings of brown with red make up directly under each eye and smudging it down toward the cheek with your finger tip.
II. You may have:
Contact lenses: Contact lenses are required for this character. Lenses should be yellow to light orange tinted with red or black fringes around the circumference of the lens. This lens requirement may be waived at the discretion of the LMO or GML for reasons of inability of the wearer to use lenses due to health or eye curvature compatibility reasons.
NOTE: The colors given above for fabrics were determined by matching samples of the screen used materials against Anchor or DMC embroidery flosses.
