I'm planning on buying a jedi cosplay costume and I was wondering if anybody could give me links to reliable websites with good jedi costumes for a reasonable price as well as the boots. I have found one I like at http://www.hellocosplay.com/s-w-cosplay-brown-cloak-robe-uniform-full-set-costume-p-4466.html and it seems too be the best one I have found so far.
My brother cosplays OB1 Kanobi and his outfit is based on the tan one from the movies. My Mom helped him make the outfit from scratch. As for the boots he bought a couple pairs of them from people on E-Bay. My suggestion is to go to E-Bay and check out what people are selling. Here is some advice, make sure that you have a good fit for the boots. After wearing them all day my brothers feet and legs hurt a lot. This is why he bought a second pair of boots. This time with a better fit.
smile Size definitely makes a difference. For my Syaoran outfit I tried on a lot of different pairs of army issue boots before I picked a pair. I'm glad that I did it that way based on the trouble that my brother had.
As for the Jedi outfit itself. If you know someone that can make the outfit for you, in the long run you will like the results a lot better than one you bought online. Their are patterns out their for many cosplay outfits. My sister found a pattern for the cloak that she made for my Syaoran outfit. When it comes to good websites to buy cosplay outfits from I suggest shopping around. Sometimes you can find bargains out their. Also consider looking for gently used cosplay outfits. Many cosplayers out their sell their outfits or make them on commission. Good Luck.
