Kylo Ren Fabric

[JudgeLusk]

Oh man, yeah it's down already. . It's a discontinued fabric, so when it's gone it's gone. Now I'm hoping I didn't buy something they didn't actually have in stock.

Oh well, at least I know what kind of fabric I'm looking for now! I've found plenty of the comfort 9007 stuff in a "java" color, and Rit now makes a polyester dye, so I might just go that route.

Guys, I think I found the original fabric material (not sure though).

One of the things that Turkey is famous for is its textile (especially in the city of Denizli). I went to the textile market last weekend, which has lots of shops selling different kinds of fabric material. Anyway, we found this:

Shamefully (of our textile sector), this fabric was imported from Italy I might have not caught the right angle to get the lighting correctly, but the color of the fabric is black.
I may have to plan a trip to Denizli :/

You're in right. i don't know how you found this info but i'm italian and i live in Florence.
Usually i go in a big stock outside Florence, located in PRATO. This small city, far only 10km from Firenze, was famous cause it was full of fabric's companies. Now most of them turned in stock shops for large quantities.
Anyway in this place one of owner told me that he saw already fabric i showed him ( i showed an image from mobile of Kylo Ren last year in august ) and he told me:" uhm, i already seen this fabric.."
And he recognized Star Wars and he said me that staff went there to buy original fabric. Unfortunately it was a stock so they bought all fabric and asked to this company 2 treatments: change it into dark brown ( i remember he told me drak brown no black but maybe i m not sure or HE didn't be sure ) cause original fabric was WHITE(yes, White ) and another one to give a kind of sparkly on fabric.
I tried to ask him where s fabric comes from but he didnt remember ( so many fabrics from differents places.. ).

Well, i hope this story could be interested for future =)



p.s.= sorry for my bad english ^^;

Hi, I was wondering if you had a link or image of the exact lacquer you used? I'm worried about using the wrong one and ruining my fabric.

 

[robertrios10@msn.com]

I'll attach a link as soon as I can, but Scotchguarding with at least two coats an absolute necessity. (When I tested without it the lacquer was completely absorbed with almost no notable effect except for stiffness. Use a few fabric scraps for your own tests before going "all in" I ended up using two entire spray lacquer cans on my Kylo.

Anyone know where to find fabric for outer tunic? Ive looked for so long that my eyes feel like there on fire. Im gettin close to sayin "screw it" and go w monks cloth.

 

[Yarky]

I'm having a nightmare finding the fabric for the outer tunic, cape an hood here in Spain. Someone who has found something similar in any europe online shop?

The closest thing I found is this and I'm waiting for a sample.

Thanks a lot for your time everyone.

Yarky, that's the monks cloth I was talking about. I bookmarked the site, too bad I'm not doing Palpatine this would be perfect. lol

 

[Yarky]

I have a sample of this one on the way too. I'll pick up one of these two, close enough for me.

I agree, close enough for me as well. I'm going w the first one.

 

[kylosmom]

So who on here has actually made Kylo Ren's costume, and how many yards did you end up using?

 

[Frozen]

I made a prototype of all the basket weave parts, based on dawn bright's tutorial, and it took 6 meters. I'm 1,87m and skinny/athletic.

I received the sample of the cotton basquet weave this morning, this is how it looks like. The right lower corner is coated whit dark metallic acrilic paint, just a test. I like the result.

It looks good, I thought about putting a shine to mine but probably wont cause I just don't feel like messing with it. LOL

You might try the less conventional route and try searching for "basketweave" bed coverings - I saw several people that were successful.

 

[darth pyross]

I'm also one of those who used basketweave bed sheets. This was originally in pale blue color and I dyed it in black.

 

[Sni9er]

for those still hunting just an FYI i'm making a run in the project run forum the order closes tomorrow night at midnight UK time all the details are there !

 

[Jawni Vu]

Anyone still doing runs on this fabric. Need 4-6 yards.

So there I was, watching my daily portion of X-files... When suddenly, Scully throws a comforting blanket over Mulder in S04 E01 - Herrenvolk (35:35-ish)



And Michael Kaplan tells us it's 'custom made' for SW:TFA ... u-huh! ... I'd rather say 'customized', by using a wax layer or vinyl coat I guess... (and of course a black variant of the fabric). Anyone knows anyone from the original X-files prop department?
