Here's my Jedi outfit, grey in color and I use it for both my Jedi and Dark Jedi as a member of Rebel Legion and The Dark Alliance, respectively.

My wife made the pattern for the obi, tabbards, inner & outer tunics from scratch to my measurements. The outer tunic was a natural linen that I dyed charcoal, inner tunic is lighter grey kona cotton. Tabbards and obi are medium grey flannel.
Pants are plain black khakis... Nothing fancy.
Hooded cloak is black flannel, hood is not as full as a typical Jedi robe - similar to ROTJ Luke. Distressed at the bottom edge.
I purchased a plain belt buckle, belt blank, and a holster clip on eBay to make the belt. Added snaps, riveted the holster clip to function as a saber hook. Distressed everything slightly.
Pouches are from sportsmansguide.com and eBay, black leather military surplus pouches from various eras. Had to wash them well with saddle soap and recondition them with oil, they were in pretty rough condition.
Made the food pellets myself from Staedtler caps. (I'm more of a OT/New Jedi Order-era Jedi and am not a fan of prequel style food pellets. It was that or get/make a Jedi robe and that's not really my style)
Saber is Ultrasaber Initiate v3 with full length blade and some TCSS upgrades.

TL:DR Version: Look at my Jedi costume!

Great job! That belt is sweet. The whole thing works really well.

Thanks, I was going for an Original Trilogy style belt without blatantly copying Luke or Obi Wan's. The belt was a really simple intro to working with leather, I want to try my hand at making more complicated stuff.
