REQUIRED ITEMS
[box] 1. Outer Tunic (when not using a dress):a. Sleeved. Sleeves should hang at least to the wrist when the arms are held down at the side.
b. Martial arts clothing in any form is unapprovable.
c. OTs can be sleeveless as long as an Inner Tunic (IT) is worn and is long sleeved. No bare-armed Generic Jedi.
d. OTs have a collar approximately 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
e. OTs length may be variable and can extend to the floor. OTs minimal length should be long enough to cover the wearer’s buttocks and crotch area. Mid-thigh is optimal. OTs are generally made in a fashion where there is a full skirt (attached to the main body of the OT) where the seam is hidden by the obi.
f. OTs minimum length must cover crotch and buttocks, when wearing pants.[/box] [box]2. Dress: (Example: Atris):
Like OTs, they are floor length.
When a dress, no skirt and pants are needed.[/box] [box]3. Inner Tunic:
May be a full tunic or a false tunic (meaning a collar, neck portion and sleeves may be added to a shirt or t-shirt) or dickies or tunics/shirts with a Mandarin collar
a. If the OT is sleeveless, then an IT must be worn and must have long sleeves.[/box] [box]4. Pants or Skirts:
a. Pants should be nondescript without decoration. Traditional pants pockets are permitted, but must not be visible (e.g., hidden under the skirt of the OT).
b. No cargo pants.

e. Skirts (those separate from the OT) are floor length.[/box] [box]5. Tabards:

Must extend at least to or past the bottom hem of the OT on the front. The back tabards may end under the obi or may extend to (or past) the bottom hem of the OT (or may be the same length as the front tabards). This guideline is obviously for the more traditional length OTs. For OTs that are longer (past the knee or to the floor or where a full length skirt is worn), the tabard length would be more variable.
a. Front tabards do not overlap, but can touch under the obi. Tabards may cross in the back.
b. Scarf-style tabards, having an around-the-neck design, are permitted.
c. A single front tabard, centrally located (covering the crotch area) is permitted.
d. The end of the front tabard(s) may have a variable design (square, rounded, triangular, octagonal, etc.)
e. Leather or pleather tabards permitted.
f. Tabard width should be from the seam at the collar of the OT to the edge of the shoulder and be a similar width as the obi. A general width to use would be 5 inches to 6 inches wide (depending on one’s height and build). Common sense should be used in selecting tabard width, and the width is proportional to the costumer’s body.[/box] [box]6. Obi (sash):
The obi wraps around the waist, and is approximately 4 to 6 inches wide and/or of a similar width as the tabards.
