Required Costume Components

The following costume components are present and appear as described below.

Helmet /Mask The head is wrapped in weathered, sand-colored cloth. Duck cloth or bull denim is preferred. The wraps are snug against the head and the ends do not hang loosely. Dark brown leather or simulated leather is used for the face wrapping. The metallic eye stalks are tapered toward the front with two slots cut into the underside of each piece. Lenses tinted dark red are used to hide the costumer's eyes. There are four tapered metallic head spikes. There are two metallic blood spitters (cheek tusks). The metallic nose piece has two vertical slots. Black screening is used so the mouth is not visible from the outside of mask.

	Braid A waist length, dark brown braid emerges from the back of helmet. Cloth wraps are used to keep the braid from unraveling.

---

	Neck Seal The wrapped fabric neck seal is extended to create an attached dickey, which is worn under the inner tunic and covers the costumer's chest. The neck seal and dickey are made of weathered, sand-colored fabric.

---

	Neck Breather The breather is a small, weathered cylinder approximately 10 cm wide. If desired, the cylinder can be wrapped with dark brown leather or a leather-like material. Tapered gaskets on either end of the cylinder are connected to a tube, which is bent to a 90 degree angle on each side before wrapping around the neck.

---

	Inner Tunic A light khaki, Jedi style tunic is worn under the tabard. The sleeves of the tunic are tucked into the arm wraps.

---

Vest/Tabards A dark brown outer tunic is made from the same material as the pants. This tunic reaches to the middle of the costumer's thighs in the front and back, and the fabric is weathered. From the back, the outer tunic appears to be a coat with a standing collar. From the front, the outer tunic appears to be a pair of Jedi style tabards which are attached to the standing collar. The sides of the outer tunic are left open.

---

	Gloves and Arm Wraps Dark brown leather gloves are worn. Cloth wrappings start at the wrist inside the gloves and continue up the elbow, covering the sleeves of the tunic. The sand colored wraps are weathered and conceal all skin on the arms.

---

	Waist Sash The Jedi style waist sash or obi is made from the same heavily weathered material as the inner tunic.

---

Belt and Pouches A dark brown Jedi style belt is worn over the sash. The belt has four sets of button studs which hold the narrow secondary belt in place over the wide main belt. A decorative rectangle shaped buckle is located on the narrow belt in the front. Optional: While the majority of references show A'Sharad Hett using a rectangle buckle, the character has also been seen using a round belt buckle. The main belt closes in the back, and a piece of dark brown leather wraps around the closure point. Four brown leather pouches are worn at the back of the belt, two on the left and two on the right. Three Jedi food capsules are worn on the belt.

---

	Pants The pants are made from a dark brown material, and the fabric is weathered. The pant legs are tucked into the boots.

---

	Boots The knee high boots are covered with weathered, sand-colored cloth wrappings.

---

Optional Accessories

Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below. If adding in an accessory after initial approval, the item still needs to be submitted to local GML for approval before use.

	Lightsabers A'Sharad Hett carries two lightsabers: his own and his father's. A'Sharad Hett's lightsaber is wrapped in leather and includes two long straps bearing beads and six krayt dragon claws. The second light saber is based on Sharad Hett's lightsaber design. If blades are used, they are green in color.
