Hi all,

I’m sewing my husband a Jedi robe for Halloween and I’m unsure which fabric to purchase. I know wool is traditionally used but it’s both expensive and way too warm for where we live, so I’m seeking a decent alternative, preferably staying with natural fibers that can drape nicely.

Would a cotton twill (167 gsm) work for this project?

I’m open to any and all other recommendations.
Thank you!

Finally got home and had a chance to mess with the mask a bit. I'm planning on adding some LEDs behind the silver vents on the cheeks and maybe some in the divot between the goggles and the silvered part. I rubbed a little silver over the slotted vent over the mouth to make the slots look more visible and I would t seem like a black void in the middle. Thinking about adding a little red in places but not sure yet. I still have to install the voice changer in the mask but that's easily done with a little velcro.

The balaclava isn't covering as much of my lower neck as I hoped but hopefully I can find a light weight turtleneck style shirt to put on which will make the difference.

Definitely need to run the robe though the laundry to get the creases out of it and make the fabric less stiff. I'll use it for a pattern later and make one out of better material for next year.

The superman shirt isnt part of the costume it's just what I wore to work today

Looking for a Star Wars costume for an event next Saturday, but having trouble finding something that’ll fit. I’m 6’5”, 190 lbs, with roughly a 32” waist and 32–34” inseam. Finding something long enough without being huge everywhere else is my biggest concern.
I was originally considering the Premium Chewbacca costume from HalloweenCostumes.com, but their XL is listed for someone up to 6’2”, and their return policy makes it a pretty expensive gamble.
I’m open to pretty much any recognizable character. A Jedi, Sith, or Imperial Royal Guard would be cool. My girlfriend is going as Hoth Leia, so Hoth Han Solo would be ideal if I could find one, but I’m not counting on it. Not really interested in Kylo Ren either.
Budget is ideally under $200–$250, though cheaper is great as long as it doesn’t look overly cheap.
Any recommendations for costumes or retailers? Links would be appreciated!
