What is it?

An off-the-peg vest or a custom made one?

Is there any info about this SW costume part out there?
 
Ah, I believe we have a language barrier issue going on here.

A vest here in the UK is a slleveless undergarment usually worn by old men to keep them warm during the winter. A vest.

It's probably something elese in the USA, so yeah - the sleeveless grey T-shirt Luke wore under his Bespin fatigues... :p
 
Yeah, in the states a vest is a sleeveless piece of outerwear, Worn under a jacket in a 3 piece suit. Also called a waistcoat? Like Han Solo wore a vest in ANH.

I don't know if I have ever seen anyone replicate the undershirt Luke wore. Always looked to me to be a grey jersey material. But I've never paid a ton of attention.
 
Yeah - the in the US we'd call that a TANK TOP. Vests on this side of the pond are sleeveless outerwear worn with a tuxedo, 3 piece suit or an insulated version worn for warmth.
 
Yup, a language barrier issue... :lol

Funny, a tank top in the UK is a sleeveless jumper worn by middle-age men when golfing. :p

Anyway - how about some info on the costume piece? Has anyone triee to make or replicate one?

Any insight as to materials or construction?

Ok, so the poor guy needs to know about Luke's jumper...

Good thing he's not in the US since here a 'jumper' is a baby restraint device that allows them to bounce a bit and keep themselves amused while not being about to go anywhere.
 
And Brucey is wearing a VEST here:

Now, don't get me started on the whole JUMPER issue... :p :lol

Tomaaato, tomato... :lol

Give me some info on LUKE'S T-SHIRT (with no sleeves...)
 
Wow, yeah, looks to me like either a heather grey t-shirt with the sleeves removed or made from heather grey jersey t-shirt material.
 
Yes, khaki seems to be the right color Al. Once you dirty them up, I'm sure they get a bit of gray hue to them. The jacket undershirt and pants should all be about the same color.

:thumbsup
:fettrotj

P.S. Firebladejedi, that first pic is great, thanks.
 
Is khaki a verified color for the screen used bespin fatigues? That would jibe with the photos I have of the Official Fan Club jacket, but fan club items aren't necesarily always 100% accurate.
