Title: New costume on the way.
Post by: Aurick on February 23, 2014, 02:47:47 PM
Hey guys over the past few months I've been tossing around my ideas for what I want. Well I found it. Twin roses is the company I went with for just pure quality of work and the fact that the sell custom sets and full sets. I went with one set they just put out that has multiple colored threads and a nice earth tone on the tabards and the obi. Here is the picture of my new tunic set.

I also found a pair of boots on ebay for the right price that also has the right look. Here they are.

Well lemmek now what you guys think. My hope is that I can use this for a sith costume and a jedi costume with just a change of the robe, or an emerald setting on my saber. Thanks for looking guys!

Looks really good! I reckon they would work pretty well for both Jedi and Sith too... :)

I'm looking to make a costume soon(ish) too, could you give me an approx price that cost you? :/ I may do something similar, and Twin Roses costumes look really good. :)

Sure no problem. The tunic set is $235. And the boots were $65. I couldn't find cheaper for the boots without sacrificing to much quality. I decided to spend the amount on the tunic set because that fabric is of a limited quantity and as such not to many people will have my exact set. As anyone would want to be unique so do I. Once I get it in next week I'll post a pic review!

Thanks Aurick! Thats a pretty good price to be fair, and it looks to be good quality. I look forward to your pic review. :)

Nice, I've been looking at costumes myself, I like that website to but I like to do something different instead of brown and white, I found one on etsy, let me know what you guys think

Almost went with that shop as well. That looks very good and comfortable, also affordable! Very cool. Going for a sith? Jedi? Want to use for both? Colors shouldn't matter but first impression will be towards sith with the red unless it's more of a burgundy red. IMO. Looks good though!

Figured I could use it for both and that's what I figured most people would assume that's why I wanted to get your guys opinions

I just looked at it again, and it does have that deeper red. I think this could really work for ya... I'm kinda jealous I didn't find that piece in my search!

Yeah, It looks really nice. Good for either, but the darker red says Jedi to me.

Cool that's what I was thinking, that's why I wanted opinions. Thanks guys

Nice costume. I like your colors. I wanted mine to have more of a brown and creme color scheme so that's why I went for the one I went for. I plan to get better pouches though and food capsules I found on ebay. I'll go for a covertech clip eventually too. I found bang pouches on ebay, movie exact replicas and fully functional too. I'll hook you up later. =]

Thanks Zren. I actually plan on building my own belt here soon. In the next couple of weeks hopefully. My goal is to have the whole thing done by C2E2 here in Chicago. Which is late April. I'll try to take pictures along the way once I have all my pieces together for it.

Looks nice. I like the colors. The texture looks great, too. It makes it looks "real" if that makes sense. I would love to see some pictures of the entire costume when you get it.

I will be happy to oblige you. :)

So when you shop with Twin, when the final design is done, they will show you a render of their pre-made stuff before actually crafting the main costume as you pictured?

What you saw is the final. I didn't custom order this one, it's just a limited run of a tunic set they are doing. I think I'm one of the first to get one though so that's cool.

Just got confirmation the boots have shipped. :)

My tunic set shipped and twin roses even refunded me some money cause they over charged for the shipping! I can do business with a company like that! Good customer service over there!
