Enquiry: Where can I purchase a Jedi Robe?

Post by deputylove8 » Thu Jul 24, 2008 11:13 am

Hi everyone,

I'm extremely new to this forum and this website as a whole. Been an SW freak since P6 during my Haig Boy days in 1994.

May I seek your professional advice in seeking a Jedi Robe. How do I go about buying one? Hehe.

Always wanted to get one especially from the official website.Do they have shops in SG that sell them???

Many thanks everyone!
:lol:

hello.

welcome!!

I do not know where u can purchase one off the shelf.
and although i am no jedi[s]scum[/s] fan, but u can do a lil research online to get schematics of the robes (Obiwan kind is very widely avail).

get the correct coloured (heavy) cloth frm arab street and a tailor, u are good to go.

Hi! :)

If you dun mind lack of accuracy and only 2 choices of colors, can get either "Jedi" or "Sith" Robe from Pan-In-The-Box aka CostumeBase.

If you rather have one done according to your personal selection of color, design, as MandalorianBleahhh said, get the prefered cloth from cloth district like Arab Street or People's Park (Food & Shopping Centre) and get a tailor to do it for you.

But if you can sew, you might want to try to make one yourself.
You can either use online tutorial for it OR get a Commercial Pattern for a Robe from Spotlight and modify it slightly to suit your need, and make the robe yourself.

If you just want one for the heck of it, then there is the Rubies Jedi Robe but be warned it's Halloween Quality.


The original cloth used for most of the Jedi Robe was this WWII Blanket. I had touched it before, both the original costumes (OB1 and Anakin) and a sample of it (from my Deluxe DAG Book), and tho' it looked thick, it's a bit "spongy" and "light".

Not sure where in Singapore can find it but many had used a range of other alternative cloths like Cotton Drill, Suiting, Denin etc. The key here is "thickness", drape and budget.

Thanks a lot Haldir once again. Really appreciate it. I've checked out the link you gave me. They do sell many interesting things there. Hehe :)

I think I'll go check the place out of these days before the Clone wars Movies gets out.

Thanks a lot! I've checked out your own website as well. You sell costumes as well?

Haha.DIY robs? I think the sewing machine will be cursing me if I attempt such feats. Haha
