Here is the best shot I got of the fabric. DO NOT use this for color... only for the weave.

At 100%:

At 50%:

At 25%:

See above. The most basic pattern is close, but you have a long way to go.

I'm definitely interested. It'd be nice if the price was a little lower. but if it's screen accurate I'll get it!

Is his hood the same weave as his robes?

Don't have great reference, but here is the arm material and the gloves.

This fabric looks to be very close to EP1 Maul, and EP2 Anakin cloak.

I've spent the better part of 5 hours today attempting to find ready-made alternative fabrics online that are at least very close. (My kingdom for a fabric district) I almost feel like someone just crochet his whole outfit. Looking at the super large images, it's a really odd weave.

These are the two closest finds. Both are basket weaves and both would need to be dyed and I'm not sure how well they'd take to dye.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/D131-LUXURI...WOOL-C0TTON-CHUNKY-BASKET-WEAVE-/181610049939
$10.43 per 1/2 meter.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-yard-EGGP...en-Heavy-Upholstery-Fabric-54-w-/161668981182
$9.86 per yard

Not sure if either is very helpful. Given the prices I wonder how much it's going to be per yard for someone to custom weave fabric.

My costume maker and I are interested in 6 meters, possibly more.

I ordered half a meter of this yesterday as well as a black dye. However I read an acidic dye may work better for wool. I'll test out the normal dye and see what happens. Both the fabric and the dye should be here in the next few days.

Does anyone know what sort of coating is on the fabric? Is it some sort of wax or polyurethane?

Yeah you'll need acid dye for wool; you may get some dye uptake with a direct dye (Dylon etc) but it'll be touch and go and you might not get the colour you want.

thanks art thats a great shot !!
it confirms my suspicion there is a suspension layer in there !!

- - - Updated - - -

also furthermore that shot shows it's actually a 2/2 weave not a 3/2 as i'd originally thought

this is certainly not the right fabric yet (wrong weave 3/2) but it's certainly close just awaiting a sample! it has the right interfacing layer from the looks just needs to loose one weft thread haha (which i may just pull out from this if it works hahaha)

I would be very interested if this is accurate. Probably around 10 meters.

I'm assuming that by coating they are referring to the fact that this material is coat weight not coated as in finish.
