right on I shall hold off then and can't wait to see what you get for the bucket. I'm waiting to see how the local 501st guys are doing with it.
I hope it's not to late to chip in for the custom fabric. I'd be in gor as much as is recommended.
Here's my take on the fabric layers:
Top coat: cotton
Mid coat: (inner material of outer coat) wool. I saw a photo of the cotume from Anaheim where a corner of the inside of the topcoat was visible. I'll post my source once I find it again
Under Tunic with sleeves: cotton
Can anyone confirm?

If any someone finds an accurately woven fabric and creates a complete screen accurate costume I'd be interested in hiring them to make one for me as well. Thank you!
So... we have PLEATS all the way!
Exactly. The general consensus (here and on the 501st) seemed to be that the toys would be an unreliable source. (They kinda are if you compare the toy prototype boots to the real ones... foot shape seems all wrong.) So it's good to have that confirmed. I sense a million sewing machines crying out in terror at the though of all that pleating...
Oh, it isn't difficult (especially compared to the Star Lord jacket and pants from Guardians of the Galaxy that I recently did), just horribly boring. The same. Exact. Seam. Overandoverandoverandover again.

This just arrived, I think this is as close as I'm going to be able to get so I'm calling it "close enough".

It's a 100% cotton blanket. http://www.ebay.com/itm/STONE-FULL-...ECOR-/121611940061?roken=cUgayN&soutkn=K5OIU4

Might have to look for one, looks pretty close. Think one will be enough for the outer tunic?

The blankets are 90"x90" I roughly guestimated 3 blankets, one for the tunic, one for the hood, one for the cloak. Just to ensure I have plenty to work with. I'll have a more accurate assessment and could even post a pattern layout on the blankets themselves once I get a mockup going. I just haven't had the time yet.

I looked at that stuff and had it saved, I noticed someone caught onto it when it went from 44 available units to only 3. I was originally going to purchase it but as you said it was $11 for a 1/2 meter, and I didn't want to deal with dying wool. But that knit is much thicker than what I was able to find.
Edit: given the thickness, I think it'll look really nice.
