Whether you're a Jedi peacekeeper or a fearsome Sith lord, your costume is a key element of your identity in the universe.
Every detail - from the tunic to the accessories - must be carefully thought out to achieve an authentic, aesthetic and comfortable look.
Adegan's Armory, specialists in sci-fi inspired costumes, focus on quality materials, precise finishing and fidelity to the saga's designs. In this guide, find out how to choose the best outfit, taking into account the different options available.
1. Preparing your project
Above all, it's important to prepare your project to make sure you think of and communicate as many details as possible. First step: is it a character from the universe or your own character?
Don't hesitate to research your project: there are many sources that will help you assess the difficulty of the project, and therefore its budget. An in-universe character is potentially much more sourced, but may be more difficult to create, depending on the scarcity of costume parts.
A unique character may require a great deal of preparatory work to create the elements that will make up the costume.
2. Choosing the right suit and size
A Jedi or Sith costume is made up of several layers that add volume and character to the silhouette. For a good balance between authenticity and mobility, here are the essential points:
-
The outer tunic should reach at least to the hips, and ideally to mid-thigh for a more harmonious look.
-
Tabards must be proportionate to your body shape and securely fastened to prevent them from slipping off your shoulders as you move.
-
The pants should be loose-fitting and sober, with no visible patterns. They are often tucked into boots for greater fluidity.
-
The boots should be high-cut, with no visible laces and a sober, elegant design.
Adegan's Armory technical choices: The suits are made from natural fabrics such as linen, which combines breathability and authentic texture, guaranteeing optimal comfort even during prolonged wear.
3. Tabards: long or short?
Tabards are a distinctive feature of Jedi and Sith costumes. At Adegan's Armorythey are made from 100% linen for a faithful, natural look, or in imitation leather (polyurethane and linen-lined polyester) for a darker, more imposing look. They can also be made in 100% leather for an incomparable look (on request)
Length and style
-
Long tabards Long tabards: offer a majestic look, ideal for wise Jedi costumes or imposing Sith sorcerers. Stripes reach down to the ankles
-
Short tabards More practical for combat, they allow greater freedom of movement. The bands go down to about the knees.
Fixing and holding
To prevent tabards from shifting or slipping, Adegan's Armory incorporates an invisible snap fastening systemThe "Obi" belt is integral with the tabard, making it easy to wear.
The "Obi" belt is integral with the tabard, making it easy to hold together. This can be in a different color to highlight the belt or break the uniformity of a suit.
💡 Tip: Make sure the tabards are well proportioned to your tunic and belt for a harmonious look.
4. Color harmony: respecting the Jedi or Sith aesthetic
