–    If the outer tunic sleeves are ¾ length, then either armlets must be worn, or else the inner tunic must have full length fitted sleeves.

Outer tunic must be cream or white rather than gold. Tunic may be lined in a contrasting color within the gold/white/cream color palette.

Inner Tunic

high_republic_formal_3.jpg

Formal temple uniforms must have either inner tunics OR midcoats, though they may have both if desired. Inner tunics, if worn, follow all construction and fit rules from the main addendum, except:
–    They may not be longer than the outer tunic in the skirt area.

Midcoat

high_republic_formal_4.png

Formal temple uniforms must have either inner tunics OR midcoats, though they may have both if desired. Midcoats are worn over the outer tunic and under the obi and tabards. They should slip on over the head and may be visible above the tabards at the neck. They can either have a v neck or a wrapped neckline like a standard tunic. They can either be closed at the sides or fully open, though they should at minimum be wider than the tabards at most visible points.

They may extend up to 2 inches beyond the shoulder, so as to ensure their visibility under tabards. Midcoats may be as short as lower hip length and as long as 1-2 inches longer than the tabards, provided that they are at least an inch off the ground. Midcoats may have any of the following ornamentation in cream or gold: piping along edges, trim along edges, simple geometric ornamentation in the corners. They should have no other ornamentation beyond that.

Tabards

Two types of tabards are permitted for the formal high republic uniforms: Y tabards, and medieval tabards. These are both unique to the High Republic, and may not be used for any other era.

Both types may have ends that are either chevron shaped or rectangular. They should be at least knee length, and may extend to the midcalf. They should not extend more than an inch beyond the shoulder.

High republic tabards must have heraldic designs and ornamentation in the white/cream/gold color palate. These designs must be symmetrical. It is recommended that these designs be at least somewhat contrasting within that color palate. Designs may be implemented as combinations of applique, machine or hand embroidery, vinyl transfer, piping or soutache, or stenciled fabric paint, provided that the technique used is neat and regular in appearance.

Symbols used must either appear on existing High Republic Jedi uniforms, or must be pre- approved by the GCCs. It is strongly recommended that full tabard designs be pre-approved before construction begins.

All tabard types are permitted, though not required, to have a standing collar which is open in front. They should have no visible closures, and must be open on the sides. They should also have no visible seams other than collar seams, though hidden seams at the waist are permitted as long as they are covered by the obi.

Medieval Tabards

high_republic_formal_5.png

Medieval tabards are a single piece front and back. They should have an opening for the head that is either v-neck, square, or shallow round. Medieval tabards may taper somewhat in the body, but should still cover most of the chest. They may also taper back out somewhat below the obi.

Y Tabards

Pants of Skirt

Pants and skirts follow all rules of construction and fit from the main addendum, though they are limited to the gold/cream/white color palate of the High Republic. Pants and skirts should be a solid color and have no trim or ornamentation.

Obi or Sash

Obis or sashes are worn over the tabards and under the belt. Knight and master character must have an obi, while Padawan characters must have sashes. Obis and sashes are never worn together.

Obi

Obis follow all rules of fit and construction from the main addendum.

Sash

Padawan characters may choose to wear a sash instead of an obi. Sashes should fully circle the waist and be visible above and below the belt, and have a long tail that hangs down to the knee at the front or on the right side. They should have no ornamentation, and appear to be made from a single piece of fabric. Sashes should not be stiff and should drape freely on the hanging end.

Belt

High republic belts are brown leather with metal accents and gold buckles. Like belts from the main addendum, they must appear continuous. They can feature ornamentation in the form of metallic trim and metallic studs or loops in gold or silver. Buckles may be plan geometric plates, geometric plates embossed or stamped with designs reminiscent of the heraldry on tabards, or be novel shapes based on said heraldry. The leather of belts is not embossed with patterns or heraldry.

Two general styles may be made without pre-approval: Original Trilogy, or Prequel

Original Trilogy Based Belt

These belts feature a single strip of leather at least 1 inch wide and no wider than 2.5 inches, with a single large buckle in the middle front. Like original trilogy belts, they do not feature excessive holes or large keepers. They may feature metallic bands or rings to attach the leather to the buckle.

Prequel Based Belt

Prequel based belts feature the classic two-layer construction with a wider belt and a narrower belt.. The wider belt should be between 2 and 3 inches. The narrow belt end ends at a buckle in the middle front, and the wider belt ends at the back with ends hidden by a keeper. The ends of the narrow belt may be tapered to where they meet the buckle.

Other novel belt designs are also permitted, but must be pre-approved by the GCCs.

Boots

Boots follow all rules of construction and fit from the main addendum, except for the following:

– Wraps may not be used in lieu of properly fitted leather/leather-like boots

Sabers follow all rules from the main addendum.

High republic features such as gold ornamentation are permitted but not required.

For Padawan characters using a sash rather than an obi, it is recommended (but not required) that the saber color match the sash color.

–    Robes may have ¾ length sleeves.

Saber Holster

Saber holsters hang from the belt. They are made of leather or leather-like material with metal accents, and should functionally suspend a saber hilt when it has no blade attached. All saber holsters should either replicate an existing design from the high republic or be pre-approved by the GCCs.

Pouches follow all rules of construction and ornamentation from the main addendum, except for the following:
–    Pouches may feature gold metallic trim

Jewelry

High republic Jedi may have subdued jewelry in the form of brooches, tiaras, cloak chains, and/or earrings. All jewelry should be gold tone, and may feature subtle gemstones.

Mission Uniform

high_republic_mission_1.jpg

High Republic mission outfits were worn by the Jedi during the High Republic era when they go into the galaxy and expect action. The colors are browns of varying shades for the outer tunic, white for the under tunics, and a variety of browns for tabards and obi.

Colors

All items not made of leather or metal share similar color schemes of brown and white/cream across mission outfits except where otherwise stated. Tabards should be a medium brown to slightly reddish brown. Outer tunics should be a darker shade of brown than the tabards, and can border on dark enough to appear almost black. Cap sleeves on the outer tunic should be the same color as the outer tunic. Shoulder pads should be the same color and material as the outer tunic if both are in the same costume. Pants/skirts should be white, cream, light to medium brown, golden brown or golden.

For Padawans only: Sashes are recommended to (But not required)match the color of your lightsaber blade.

Materials

Materials used should be durable since Jedi get into trouble when wearing these uniforms. Boots should be leather or leather like, as should gloves. All clothing parts should be of a durable material of medium to heavy weight and not be see-thru in any capacity. Materials used should not have additional patterns and patterned textures as concepts show a lack of excessive decoration.

Heavier, durable textured fabrics such as cotton twill, medium to heavy linens, duck cloth, wool suiting or melton wool, raw silk, microfiber, or other similar fabrics.

Disallowed Fabrics

Anything thin enough to be see-thru, shiny, has a sheen, or has a raised pattern. No quilting cotton, cotton sateen or sheer linens.

Required Items

Jedi mission outfits must have at minimum an outer tunic, an inner tunic, bracers, tabards, an obi or padawan sash, a Jedi belt with one pouch and a lightsaber clip, pants or a skirt, and boots.

Outer Tunic

Outer tunics are worn over the outer tunic and pants, but under tabards, obi and belt. The outer tunic should be a darker shade of brown than the tabards, and can border on dark enough to appear almost black. Any cap sleeves on the outer tunic should be the same color as the outer tunic. Shoulder pads should also be the same color and material as the outer tunic.

high_republic_mission_2.png

high_republic_mission_3.png

There are two common outer tunic styles found in concept and official art: Crossover and Surcoat. The Crossover outer tunic is the standard crossover-style tunic seen across eras for Jedi, just made of more durable materials. The Surcoat outer tunic can be either a plain or segmented tunic with no visible front or back opening that typically has a mandarin collar. Segmented outer tunics may have between 3-5 segmented sections that can be on the front section only. outer tunics are darker than tabards. They can range from darkish-medium brown to dark brown outer tunics follow all rules of main addendum with the following exceptions:

●    outer tunics must be long enough to cover the crotch/backside
●    outer tunics are either sleeveless, or have short single layer cap sleeves that extend less than 2 inches from the shoulder. Cap sleeves must be stiff and may be rounded or come to a central point.
●    outer tunics may also have stylized cap sleeves in no more than two layers that extend to the middle of the bicep.
●    outer tunics may have metallic trim, braid, or piping (though they may not have any other ornamentation)
●    outer tunics may have visible vertical darts to achieve a tailored shape.
●    outer tunic hems may come to a point in the front and back.

Inner Tunic

Inner tunics in the High Republic era are white. They are all long sleeved and should be tucked into the pants or skirt. They share the cross-over design of the standard Jedi over tunic. When worn with a standard cross-over outer tunic, the inner tunic’s collar should be visible. When worn with a segmented outer tunic, then only the sleeves need to be visible.

Tabards

Tabards for the High Republic are a way of individualization for the Jedi. Across concept art, book covers, and comics there is a huge variety in styles of High Republic era tabards. Generally the tabards are made of fabric, but can be leather or leather-like material. In the case that the tabards are constructed of leather or leather-like material, the obi does not need to be of the same material and may be fabric (please note this is a departure from the main Generic Jedi standard).

The standard draping over the shoulder tabards remains the most common style. This style can be worn a number of ways such as standard parallel lay, crossed over the chest, or closed below the obi in an apron style.

Tabards may also be

high_republic_mission_5.png

All tabard styles EXCEPT vest and medieval may end at the obi in the back.

high_republic_mission_2.png

Tabards should be of a lighter brown than the outer tunic and are typically of a medium or reddish-brown color. In rare instances, they can be light brown, so long as they are lighter in color than the outer tunic.

Obi

Obis share the same design as found in the main addendum. They are square in design and are larger than the belt up to 3 inches past the edge of the belt. They can match the brown of the outer tunic or the tabards. They should be plain with no design or ornamentation.

high_republic_mission_7.jpg

Padawan Sash

Padawan characters may choose to wear a sash instead of an obi. Sashes should fully circle the waist, be visible above and below the belt and have a long tail that hangs down to the knee at the front or on the right side. The knot of the sash must be below the belt and lie as flat as possible. They should have no ornamentation, and appear to be made from a single piece of fabric. Sashes should not be stiff and should drape freely on the hanging end. They are recommended to (but not required to) match the padawans blade color.

Belt

High republic belts are brown leather with metal accents and gold buckles. Like belts from the main addendum, they must appear continuous. They can feature ornamentation in the form of metallic trim and metallic studs or loops in gold or silver. Buckles may be plain geometric plates, geometric plates embossed or stamped with designs reminiscent of the heraldry on tabards, or be novel shapes based on said heraldry. The leather of belts is not embossed with patterns or heraldry. Belts must feature at least one pouch and a lightsaber clip. Three general styles may be made without pre-approval. Other belts may be used with approval from the Costuming team:

Original Trilogy Based Belt

These belts feature a single strip of leather at least 1 inch wide and no wider than 2.5 inches, with a single large buckle in the middle front. Like original trilogy belts, they do not feature excessive holes or large keepers. They may feature metallic bands or rings to attach the leather to the buckle.

Combo Belts

Combo belts share traits of both OT and PT belts such as a wider belt with a geometrically shaped buckle in the middle. Some also maintain the middle belt, and some do not.

Prequel Based Belt

Prequel based belts feature the classic two-layer construction with a wider belt and a narrower belt. The wider belt should be between 2 and 3 inches. The narrow belt end ends at a buckle in the middle front, and the wider belt ends at the back with ends hidden by a keeper. The ends of the narrow belt may be tapered to where they meet the buckle. Other novel belt designs are also permitted, but must be pre-approved by the GCCs.

Pouches follow all rules of construction and ornamentation from the main addendum, except for the following

Bracers

Bracers can be made of leather, leather-like material or heavy duty fabric. They should fully enclose the arm from below the elbow to the wrist, and may appear continuous, have horizontal segments, or appear wrapped. Any fastenings must be hidden.
Adornments on the bracers should be kept to a minimum and are limited to gold edging. Bracers may be under the sleeves of a long sleeved outer tunic or over the sleeves of the inner tunic.

Bracers should be medium to dark brown in color. They should not have any gold edging or heraldry
