close up with a frayed edge also
I think this could really work ^^
also the UKFT got back in touch with 2 more suppliers to try for make the fabric !
Hey everyone I showed the gals at joanns and they said we need to get a SKU for the fabric and they can order it so we need to do some homework. If anyone is using this as a 501st submission it needs to be exact.
Same here my 501st buds are trying to help me out as well. I'll keep everyone posted once I get a sku. The rest of the material should be easy to find.

For anyone considering this costumer for their 501st submission, please understand the most likely delays and patience that will be required on your part. We have a thread on Sith Lord Detachment forum to gather some of these same details and features of the costume as well. Due to there being no CRL (Costume Reference Library) it will be slow process getting this costume approved as this will be reviewed and approved at the legion level. So if you are trying for the legion first, when 501st will have that reference approved/created most likely there will be a bunch of you done and they'll have to review a bunch of submissions. Honestly due to what we officially know of the character, it has not even been confirmed what detachment he'll be a part of. Again, adding to your potential delays.
Not saying to discourage anyone but I hope you don't expect to be a 501st approved Kylo Ren in the next few weeks.
It looks the part (without the third thread) BUT keep in mind that it's 70% polyester and the rest is wool. That will make it a chore to dye, if you can even get it dark enough. The poly will need a lot of heat- close to boiling from I've read. (Never tried dyeing synthetics myself because it's said to be so difficult.) The wool is easier to dye, but there's the shrinkage-factor to consider with the extreme heated water. Wool can also "fuzz up" if you put it in a washing machine. It'll be interesting to see how you fare with the sample. (Don't forget to measure it before you dye so that you can factor in how much it will shrink when you buy the main yardage.)
I spoke to joanns corporate and they are going to view the material as well as the sleeves to help us out with all of that and I informed them what it was for so nothing less than that quality would work. They are more than willing and the lady shall be getting back to me Saturday. I sent the best pics of what there is on this thread as well as pics I have from celebration.
