Need HELP - Anakin AOTC cloak actual fabric?

[nwjedidave]

I've asked for years for anyone's help with actual pictures (exhibit or otherwise) of the fabric used on Anakin's Attack of the Clones cloak.

I have screen captures and pictures that show me the fabric is a brick wall type pattern, but I have never seen the cloak in person.

Does ANYONE out there have pictures of the actual fabric used? Thanks!

If my Internet connection is working when I get home I'll send you pictures of a material had that was nearly identical.

 

[nwjedidave]

thanks! How were you able to match the original fabric?

 

[Psab keel]

Lucky I guess
Lol

 

[nwjedidave]

LOL sorry I wasn't more clear. Did you happen to see the actual cloak while it was on tour?

 

[Psab keel]

I did see it in person but nit up close. I've got tons of reference material.fpr you too

 

[nwjedidave]

thank you. Just a few pictures is good, I saved all I could find over the years.

Are you looking for the other fabrics too? Because I have sources for everything with the exception of the cloak fabric. I have a few small pieces left of the cloak fabric.

These show the texture of the screen used pretty well.

Here is the material I was able to find. As I said I have a little of it left though not enough to make a cloak. If you like I can send you some if you pay shipping. Here are some shots of a commission I did with the materials I was able to find.

excellent thanks! My curiosity has always been with just the outer cloak, but great pictures!
Do you happen to remember what the fabric was called? I don't want to know how much time I spent online looking at UK fabrics!

I always felt the cloak fabric was a lot heavier than the tunic fabric, but then there are the scenes with Watto which you can see through the cloak. Now that I think about it I kind of remember someone here selling fabric that was very close in the pattern but needed to be dyed the correct color.

Thanks for your help.

Congrats by the way that is an impressive replica!

Thank you! I was selling these very fabrics a while back, though none of these needed to be dyed. This particular fabric that I was able to source was just a wool coating fabric of some sort. The screen used tunic fabric is actually raw silk noil and my replica was made of the exact same thing. It is lightweight but when layered it looks thicker than it is.

The wool fabric I had was thicker/ medium weight but had a semi loose weave which is likely what the screen used fabric has. Because of this you can easily see light pass through it in certain shots in the film and mine reacted the same. Much the same way that Luke's cloak fabric in ROTJ was thick but loosely woven and light could pass through it easily.

Again if you like I have a piece or two left over I can send you if you pay for the shipping. I found my wool online but it was imported from Japan.

This is exactly what I purchased though they have long been sold out:

If I remember correctly, it's the same fabric that was used on Darth Maul's hooded robe. Someone was selling that too, a few years back, but I can't remember if it was Psab

No that wasn't me. I don't know much about the Maul costume.
