Required Items
Outer Tunic
Archivists (Jedi) and Antiquarians (Sith) may use any outer tunic approved for their faction under Generic Standard :: Tunics.
Outer tunics may either be worn over the skirt, or tucked into the skirt.
The outer tunic and skirt may be constructed as one garment, provided that this gives the appearance of a tunic tucked into a skirt.
Inner Tunic
This template may use any inner tunic approved for their faction under Generic Standard :: Tunics.
Archivists and Antiquarians may also opt instead for a high, round-necked or boat-necked inner tunic.
If this optional inner tunic type is used, the shirt inner tunic must be clearly visible above the neckline of the tunic in front. While this optional inner tunic type may be a knit material (e.g.: jersey), it must not have standard t-shirt style finishing on the neckline (shirt neck band).
Blind hemming or a bound edge are recommended for the collar of this optional inner tunic type.
All color rules from the Generic Standard for your chosen faction apply. [ Jedi Colors | Sith Colors ]
Skirt
Skirts should be flowy and should allow for freedom of movement.
They should extend down to at least the ankle, and should not drag along the ground for safety reasons.
All other rules in regards to fit, cut, and color of skirts from the Generic Standard :: Skirts apply
Tabards and Obi
All rules of style, cut, fit, length, and color for tabards and obi in the Generic Standard :: [ Tabards | Obi ] apply to this template.
Tabards and obi should be patterned in a geometric pattern inspired by the “Ansata” patterns seen on face characters like Jocasta Nu and Atris.
Ansata patterns vary somewhat in canon, but features include
- geometric shapes
- straight lines
- limited use of circles and spirals
- patterns applied with uniform thin lines darker than the base fabric.
Canon Ansata pattern examples
- (1) Jocasta Nu, comic;
- (2) Jocasta Nu, live action
- (3) Jocasta Nu, animated
- (4) Tionne Solusar
- (5) Atris, concept art
- (6) Atris, game
The application of these ansata-inspired patterns should follow all guidelines for quality and application method from Generic Standard :: Embellishments.
Unless one of the canonical Ansata patterns is being replicated exactly, all patterns should be sent to the Global Costume Consulars in advance for pre-approval.
Belt
No visible belt is worn with this template.
Hanging belt accessories or sabers must not notably deform or scrunch the obi.
Optional Belt Accessories
