Nice work, brother. I like the color and what you've done with the front.
Do you think it'll come up high enough to go into the chest plate?
Just a little constructive criticism: I think your legs might be a little too wide. Once your shin armor is on, you might have the genie pants thing going on.

Nah.....he can tuck them in on the ankles like I use to in my BDU's. They need to be baggy based on the ROTS stills. I might have to agree......you might not have enough up front once you get the chest armor going.

those look like they will work well as long as they're high enough to reach the bottom of your chest piece. Good job

I might have to agree......you might not have enough up front once you get the chest armor going. That's good point, brother, but even BDU's are not that wide in the leg. Actually, I think the GM pant legs should be about the same width as utility trousers. They should be loose, not "baggy", IMHO.   This is something I see all the time in Jedi costumes. People tend to go a little overboard with the pants. Sure, they tuck them into thier boots, but it ends up looking like a hot air ballon on top of a silo. darkjwaws, you're thin guy. I think you can get away with taking your legs in a couple inches. It's just my opinion. You might see what I'm getting at if you tuck them into some boots or wrap some tape around your calves and walk around for a minute. Just a suggestion. I know I'm anal. |

according to the one helping with sewing part its easyer to make them a little to wide then adjust the size the correctly then to make totight in 1st sew up and have to start over, the front will have the bib added next time and chest plate goes over that.
for top using a woman's sweater found on clearnce and cut to make top black w/ the 1/2 in ribbing as in pictures from torso boy parts break down
fabric is a grey cotton twill found at walmart for 2 bucks a yard got 4 yrds but looking like 3 yrd needed for pants/overall style
