Finished Luke ROTJ Costume

It was homecoming costume day today at school and I figured I would sport my Luke outfit. This is a pretty accurate repro, IMO. The suit was done by Darth Mule and the belt was a MP Filmcraft belt that I had to modify. Saber is a rylo and the boots I got from a member here. I have the other parts, but didn't take them to school. Bonus points if you spot all the star wars stuff in the room!

Yes. That is cool a cool costume.
Try and take a photo using a tripod, lots of available light but no flash. Set your f-stop to f-8 or similar to increase the depth of field. The flash is washing out all that cool detail. Oh, and avoid an all white background so the camera doesn't accidentally meter on it.
 
Flap down was always the most iconic Jedi Luke look for me. Took me forever to come up with a way to do that with a seamless, hidden closure. Never asked how my solution worked. Well Matt???
 
I think it worked really well! I can't tell it's there when being worn and neither can anyone else. I think you came up with the best method of fashion and functionality.

I am super, super pleased with this costume. My only complaint is that I'm not slightly bigger or else I would display it on a mannequin form with my other stuff. I am going to have a friend of mine take some good shots of me soon.
