Hello there. As I promised, here they are. I took them without flash. I won't be doing more research about them. I am really satisfied with them 
. I wont even dye the rustic fabric. So I will start doing the prototype using cheap fabric. I will keep you posted about that. I you have some question about the fabric, I will be here. Best regards.

Yeah, but do not worry, you will do it just fine. There is a special needle to do that work.

"Always a pleasure to help a Jedi". I bought the fabric for the tunic interior. Not too much to show cause It is a normal fabric called taffeta. It is beige color. Keep you updated.

Huge news. I contacted a lady from another forum. She told me that there is a chemical product to buckle the fabric. She did not try it yet, cause she was not interested on that costume. But I presume that will work in my rustic fabric cause is not cotton 100%. So let´s try it. I will get that product and do some testing. I am really excited about that. It will be superb.

I saw you were looking for Obi-Wan stuff. Yeah, they are good looking. I started to send some swatches around the world. This will be the best Obi-Wan Kenobi costume I ever did.

The beige taffeta become pearl gray when I saw it again at my house. So always view samples under various lighting conditions, including fluorescent, incandescent and outdoor in full sunlight. I will have to go again to the store to buy light beige taffeta this week. Keep you updated.

If you were there, Maybe you will be able to answer this: I can make my mind about the taffeta color. In some promotional photos looks light yellow, in some exhibit photos looks light beige. What color do you think It is? It is really driving me crazy. :confused

Talking about the tunic Undertunic has no lining at all I think.

The lining was not visible at the exhibit (the robe covered his hands). I found a hi-res picture on The Padawan's Guide site that should help (2nd row all the way to the right - picture of hand area). It looks beige to me (that's the color I used if it helps).

Randy, were you able to expose the lining to sunlight? Cause I did it today, I tried a light beige taffeta like the one pictured on padawans's guide and did not look so yellow, so this is what is driving me crazy, if you know what I mean. I did not try studio spot lights yet, or camera flash. Maybe that beige color will look light yellow at camera flash. What do you think? do you have a picture of your costume? :love
