NOTE: While this latest version of the Generic Jedi Costume Standards are attempting to clarify many questions and issues that have crept up since the last update, please be aware that the costume standards are a guide and are not meant to be an all inclusive outline of required elements.
Finally, some measurements or measurement guides have been given in this latest GJCS update.
Costumes must be proportional to the wearer; therefore, some costumers may have measurements that fall outside what has been stated.
The Judges will be looking for quality of workmanship, accurate execution and use of materials in addition to these general standards checklist.
If you have a question about fabrics, colors and parts choices for your build please contact the Legion Costume Judges for your category about parts/materials you are considering before you start your build.
