Canadian ROTJ

No doubt, especially around here right now it's absolutely nuts, I'll report my findings hopefully this weekend.

My problem is sourcing the velvet would probably give my wallet a heart attack, given the current exchange rate between the US and Canada.

Velvet gives everyone's wallet a heart attack, with or without exchange rates.

Nothing is more expensive with materials than velvet... its $45 a metre where I live! work that out when you need about 8 metres...

Well, I'll have to check the prices this weekend, figure out how much I need, and hopefully not have a heart attack somewhere in the middle there.

So, I'm 5' 8", how many yards total should I use?

I'm 6'2 and used 10m of fabric for each the inner lining and outer shell of the cloak... additional fabric for the inner robe, belt, etc

So, in a nutshell quite a bit.

That would be the mild way of putting it... Basically when it's all said and done, you are wearing somewhere between 25-30m of fabric

Wonder if the staff at Fabricland would know the guards, could eliminate some stuff...

Well, I'd say my primary search was successful. What does everyone think?http://s44.photobucket.com/user/Starwar ... sort=3&o=0
