Kylo Ren Fabric

Update ! so today i visited the fabric mill as i promised i would here i am looking suitably shady outside the mill
this is the factory's amazing dye machine (not dying our yarn right now):
this runs the yarn through the dye vat for several hours boiling away getting the color just right
here is our fabric being woven on the Autoloom:

here is a close up:
so after that the fabric is cut into 50 meter reels (12 of them to make the 600 meter order)
after that the fabric is in a holding position to be scoured and washed
it will then be dryed and stretched out to avoid large shrinkages and flatten the fabric again:
some of this fabric will be sent to have the resin coating applied to really get the last step !!
a "small" pile of our fabric:
the final step before it goes out every single inch is inspected for defects and repaired or rejected !!
More news as i have it folks !!

I hate that I came late to the party and missed this run.

I know that I am very late to this thread, but just thought that I would share the progress made on my Kylo costume. There is still much work to be done, but here is what I have completed so far: I have finished the pleating for both midcoat sleeves, but have not cut/stitched them since I am still working on the pattern for the torso of the midcoat. The picture of the completed sleeve was a test run for that fabric (the pleats are spaced out too much, so I am happy that I am redoing it anyway XD ) The overcoat material I am using is the closest I could find (it was on clearance for only $3 per yard! Unfortunately there was barely any left 
) It is too light of a color I know, but I will dye it once I finish adjusting/tapering it and add the hood.

I am also sorry that the pictures are sideways, I do not know how to fix that. Here are some more though while I am at it. May I also add that the current "belt" is of course make shift XD and that the hoodie is just a place holder as well until I complete the midcoat

Saw this costume on Ebay from Costumebase and decided to take the plunge. Not bad for the price of $179. Going to have it altered but it'll do.
not bad ! ehollywood the buckle looks a little flat though still nice for the price !

This is the ebay one I planned on buying and doing some mods. Can you take some more full body pics? How movie accurate is the design? (not the fabric)
Costumebase isn't exactly known for screen accuracy
