Might help point out others that are not too much of a drive...

For sure, definitely manageable locations.

Also they are usually good about phoning too, get the store to check and see esp. the further out ones. If they have something then make the drive to check it out firsthand but should help weed the numbers down some there!

Just so I can have some reference for later, for those of you who did your own or had a seamstress do them, for the outer robe, how would you cut the head and arm slit, just straight cuts and tailor it a bit?

You'll likely want to invest in a cloak pattern and modify it to make the outer robes... There used to be a McCalls one but I believe it is out of print now... It's been a while since I've looked

So, I've been digging around the forum a bit and I found a pattern for an AOTC. http://www.forcepike.net/forum/viewtopi ... =26&t=1977 Could this be used for ROTJ, with just the right arm slit?

With the overlap that is built in for the AoTC one you've linked, that wouldn't work for RoTJ

Well, my brain is just about burned out. Spent all day trying to find the right pattern and nothing looked good enough to use. Help?

I will dig through my old files and see if I have a pattern saved as I did the same thing digging through pages and post after post here originally before lucking out with FP and being able to order the robes. If I find anything will post it!
