The Acolyte - Jedi Mission Uniform

The Acolyte – Jedi Mission Uniform

This template was developed independently from the Rebel Legion Costume Standard.  It is advised that any applicant or member looking for cross-approval review both standards.  It is our intention to NOT have any costume element that outright contradicts the Rebel Legion standard.  Where the standards do not 100% agree, we have left an option for a Rebel Legion compliant color or item.

OverviewDescription

The mission uniforms seen in The Acolyte are distinct from both the preceding High Republic Era and the following Prequel Trilogy Era.  Mission Uniforms from The Acolyte show much less individuality than those in either the High Republic or Prequel Trilogy era.  A group of Jedi from The Acolyte era look largely the same, with small details differentiating characters. 

This standard depicts the costumes as they appear in “present day” during the show.  The costumes in the flashbacks are slightly different, most notably the tabards.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Outer Tunic
  • Inner Tunic
  • Trousers
  • Tabards
  • Obi
  • Belt
  • Saber Clip
  • Comlink
  • Food Capsules
  • Boots
  • Gloves (Not Applicable for Padawan)
  • Forearm/Hand Armor (Not Applicable for Padawan)
  • Lightsaber

Optional Requirements:

  • Pouch
  • Cloak

Fabrics

Although not as ornate as the costumes seen in the High Republic Era, the fabrics for the Mission Uniform from The Acolyte show much less variety than those of the Prequel Trilogy Era. 

[1]  This must generally be lined in order to be used, and may be used for inner tunics only.

Minimum Requirements:

Outer Tunic 


Note:  Outer and inner tunic

The Outer tunic is of classical design, similar in cut to the Prequel Era Outer Tunic with no customization.  

The outer tunic must be long enough to at minimum cover the groin and rear, with a maximum of knee length.  High-Low Tunics are not permitted. 

Most, but not all of the Jedi on the show wear outer tunics with no trim at the neckline (None of the main characters have the trim).  Therefore this feature is optional, with up to a 2 Inch (5cm) trim permitted at the neckline.

Outer tunic should be a medium khaki color, similar in shade to the color depicted above.

The bottom of the “V” where the front of the tunic crosses over should fall notably above the obi. Tunic fit should be adjusted to fit the applicant’s body type.

Outer Tunics cross left over right in The Acolyte, but so long as they cross the same way they are approvable. 

Outer tunics should have slits up the sides.  Slits up the side can reach up to the obi.  

Outer tunics must have full sleeves.  Sleeves should be narrower than prequel-era “bell” sleeves.  Sleeves must reach at a minimum the wrist but not exceed the first knuckle in the hand when arms are held out to the sides at a 45 degree angle and with arms straight (no bend at the elbow).

Inner Tunic

The inner tunic is of classical design.  The inner tunic has a trim around the neckline.  The trim is up to 2 inches (5 cm) around the neckline. 

The inner tunic is a medium dark brown, similar in shade to the color depicted above. 

 Optionally, the inner tunic can be the same gold fabric used for the tabards.

If brown fabric is used it may optionally have a ribbed pattern with the ribbing running parallel to the neckline.  If gold color is used, no pattern is permitted.

Inner tunics can either be full sleeved or a dickey that mimics the look.

If done as a dickey, the dickey should give the appearance of being a full inner tunic, though visible undersleeves are not necessary unless specific to a character.

 

Note:  Optional gold inner tunic.  This appears to be worn by Knights/Masters only.

Pants

Pants follow all rules from the main addendum EXCEPT: They must be in shades of tan or brown.

Pants should be opaque, including where the fabric stretches over the knees.

Pants should sit at the waist (so any pockets present are not visible), and be of a relaxed fit. They should not blouse out excessively over the tops of the boots when tucked in. No visible logos or patterns are allowed. Denim is not an acceptable material for pants

. 

Note: Pants 

Be like Jord and steam or iron your kit before missions!

Tabards

Tabards for The Acolyte temple robes are made of gold silk or fine linen, self lined, and with a visible but neat texture.

Tabard minimum length is at the hem of the tunic or skirt. Maximum length is 6”/15.25 cm longer than the hem of the tunic.

Jedi Knights and Masters Tabards

Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters wear traditional shoulder tabards.   

Shoulder Tabard width/size should be even on the left and the right side. The width of the tabard should be consistent throughout the garment until the end.

Optionally, Tabards are decorated with a gold border trim along the outside edge and inside neckline, front and back. The trim should be spaced just inside the outside border of the tabards. A military style trim with raised edges is preferred. 

Optional:  Jedi Knights may wear Vest-Style Tabards following the construction rules below.

Jedi Padawans wear Vest-Style Tabards 

Vest style tabards must have a clearly defined split in the front to show the inner and outer tunics both above and below the belt. The rear of the tabard is solid across the back, running down the back.

For the front portion of the vest-style tabards, the width/size should be even on the left and the right side.  The width of the front portion of the tabards should be consistent throughout the garment until the end.

The width of the rear portion of the tabards should be consistent throughout the garment until the end.

Vest tabards have a split all the way up the side and are not permitted to wrap around the body. 

Padawan Tabards have no trim.


Note: Padawan tabards have no trim

Obi 

Jedi Knight/Master Obi

Obis are square in design and are larger than the belt up to 2 inches past the edge of the belt.

Obis should close in the rear.

The obi is dark brown.

Optional: The Obi should include two narrow strips of the same fabric, set on either side of the belt in back. They hold the belt in place and are held in place themselves by brass rivets just above and below the belt.

Padawan Obi

Obis are square in design and are larger than the belt up to 2 inches past the edge of the belt.

Obis should close in the rear.

Padawan characters wear a dark green instead of brown obi. 

The Obi should include two narrow strips of the same fabric, set on either side of the belt in front and back. They hold the belt in place and are held in place themselves by brass rivets just above and below the belt.

The canon fabric for the padawan obi is wool felt, but any of the approved fabrics are suitable.



Note:  Padawan green obi.

Belt

Belts are brown leather with metal accents and gold buckles.  The preferred color for accents is brass, but we do not require brass.

Belt construction should be based on prequel based belts, featuring the classic two-layer construction with a wider belt and a narrower center belt, with studs.

The wider belt should be between 3 and 5 inches. Note this is wider than standard prequel belt sizes.

Wider belts include parallel lines of etching along the upper and lower edge.

The leather of belts is not embossed with patterns or heraldry

Both the narrow belt and wider belts end in the back, overlapping to close with stud attachments through punched holes. The wide belt closes first and the narrow belt closes over the top of it.

Buckles may be round, oval, or rectangular and are embossed with the jedi order symbol.


Note:  Belt examples.  Note the rear closure.

Saber Clip

Belts must feature a lightsaber clip.

The clip hangs from a short brown leather strip, attached just under the narrow overbelt.

The clip is covertec style..

The covertec clip should hang just below the bottom edge of the belt. 

Covertec clips may be silver, gunmetal, antique brass or black.


Note:  Covertec on strap and covertec clip.

Food Capsules

Food capsules are metallic silver in color

There are two different styles

Jedi wear one set of food capsules

Prequel Era food capsules are not permitted:


Note:  Food Capsules

Boots

Boots follow all rules of construction and fit from the main addendum. The exception being that wrap boots are not allowed for this template.

Boots may include a narrow strip of matching leather that covers the inside zipper.

Gloves/Forearm Hand Armor (Not Applicable for Padawan)

Forearm/Hand Armor (Not Applicable for Padawan)

Jedi Knights and Masters wear gloves and forearm/hand armor

Gloves are leather or pleather

Gloves extend to mid-forearm over the outer tunic.  A shorter glove with a leather bracer may be used to simulate this look.

Gloves have no stitching or details

Forearm/hand armor is dull silver metallic with raised detailing

Armor is attached to the forearm over the glove via visible black straps.


­­­

Note:  Glove and Forearm/Hand Armor

Lightsaber

Lightsabers should be combat ready, able to securely hold the blade style of choice of the Temple, and not easily break during choreography.

Jedi colors include various shades of the following: Blue, Green, Yellow, Amber.

For this era, lightsabers are limited to standard hilts.  Saber staves, saber pikes are not permitted.

Although we do see a lightsaber whip, it is limited to a face character and is not permitted within the scope of this standard.


Note:  Acolyte Era Lightsabers


Optional Requirements:

Optional - Pouch

As we only definitively see a pouch on Torbin in the flashbacks, pouches are optional for this standard.

If worn, the pouch should be formed and made of thicker leather or pleather.

Pouches should be securely attached to the belt

Pouch should be square or rectangular in shape, and no taller than the width of the main wider belt.

Pouch should have a flap closure with a metallic snap.  Color of the snap should match the color of the hardware on the belt.

No more than two pouches should be worn.

 

 Note:  If you look REAL close, you can possibly see a pouch on Sol’s belt.  Torbin definitely has pouches.

Optional - Cloak

Although all of the Jedi with the exception of Kelnacca wear cloaks throughout the series and do not remove them when fighting, for the purposes of practicality and safety, cloaks are optional under this standard. 

Cloaks should be dark brown in color.

Cloaks should be either brushing the ground or no more than ankle length.

Sleeves of the tunic should not show below the sleeve of the cloak when arms are hanging naturally by the sides.  It is preferred but not required that cloak sleeves be narrower than prequel-era cloaks to more closely match the on-screen examples.  The main characters have narrower cloak sleeves, the supporting characters have both narrow and wide (prequel style) cloak sleeves.

Hood should be large, and should sit in folds on either shoulder. Hoods should not have a pointed top and should not look as though they came out of Assassin’s Creed.

Cloaks should be voluminous, but should not be so large that the applicant gets “lost” in it. Witches cloaks/robes, vampire cloaks, or bathrobes are not approvable. 

Recommended fabrics are those that are heavier weight and made out of natural fiber. Lighter fabrics with little to no weight are not recommended.


Note:  Nobody likes a wrinkled robe.
