I had this old pair of combats which had become a bit worn and I wanted to replace my cape (been using a green one, which was fine when I had green on my helmet, but now looks a bit out of place... so chopped up the combats, cat got in the way...

Realise that the pockets are a bit dark and stand out, so will dye the cape back to original colour and weather again ;)

This would work even better with an old pair of trousers, you then wouldn't have the pocket issue... :)

I KNOW this will look awesome, like everything I've seen you do... But I liked the green cape a lot, I thought the OD green accent was complimenting the rest of the kit very well. But hey, that's personal preferences and like I said, your kit will still look like a million bucks, and STILL be one of my favorite!!!

Cheers mate!

Many thanks Brothers  :D

Will see how it looks when done. Need the green one for the Fett I'm putting together, so if I doesn't work, can always go back! :)

Hehe, reminds me of my dogs, especially my youngest one, he's my little buddy. He likes to sleep in my clothes hamper, not my wifes, mine. He likes to be close to daddy when I'm not home. But I usually turn my old pants and shirts into pillows from the dogs crates. Might have to reverse that policy when I go to make the cape, kamas and loin clothes.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with. But please stick to your own clothes. I wouldn't want the wrath of your other half if you end up chopping up something you shouldn't!  ;)

I tried to dye this cape Grey, but I am not convinced... Maybe it's my eyes but this is definitely looking green... :-\

Eyes Reajusting, not looking so green anymore - and actually quite pleased  :D

Had fun going to town on this one with spray paint and also used it to clean my garden tools, for that ground in mud look  ;)

No worries  ;) basically I have sewn a button on my flak jacket shoulder seam ( left shoulder) that the cape attaches to. The cape has a small button hole and I hang this over the back plate. Will try to find a close up pic. You can also go boba style and get some bolts on your collar/back plate where they meet and attach the cape there. Hope this helps!  :)
