Baylon Skoll and Shin Hati costume discussion thread

[axe woves north]

A few images to show more of the detailing

[DarthValkyria]

Per the LMOs, we have to wait until the end of the season at least before the assignments are made.

good morning FE, My good friend and  member of the Oregon garrison reached out to me and i wanted to reach out to our DL and the Costume Advisors of flagship for advise, he has wanted to build Baylan skoll asked for how accurate this Esty seller product would be.

it is my opinion that

1. the armor wouldn't work because of the material its made of 

2. the belt would need to be brown 

3. the boots are not lace up in the show, the references we have seen show it as a normal black boot

 

but I'm not an expert and i didn't want to give my friend bad advise, what do you think? 

[LordZedel]

he is on the baylan and shin build group that nina created. as well 

[DarthValkyria]

I would leave it to the group for now as we don't have assigned Det for them as of yet.

Season 1 has finished, has it been decided whether Baylan will be part of this det?

[DarthValkyria]

They still need to vote. It's a 72 hour hold from an episode until we can submit (have submitted) and once they receive it and get it set up, it's a 7 day vote within LMO. I'll probably hear something middle of the week after this one.

[axe woves north]

Looking forward to finding out the result!

[LordZedel]

@DarthValkyria any news from global on the new home of baylan and shin? 

[DarthValkyria]

Nope. They did the vote for 501st inclusion and that passed, but SLD requested before the series so know they're voting on assignment (just got the email literally 10 minutes ago).

[LordZedel]

good to know that the gears are moving :). i honestly thought they'd go to underworld so I'm actually surprised SLD is interested in them.

Mercenary doesn't automatically mean UW as it isn't necessarily scum and villainy. Think more along the lines of gang and cartel, who would possibly hire the mercenaries.

Hi everyone, longtime lurker hoping to join in on the conversation. The fabric on Baylan is Suede and Raw silk. I believe his tabards and cloak are made of boucle or similar fabric. As far as Shin goes, she too has raw silk and suede with the addition of some parts being built the way the PT jedi robes were made. I think her under tunic/skirt is made from some sort of heavy crinkle weave fabric while her tabards are some sort of hand woven raw silk and her cloak is either a coating weight wool or something similar to melton fabric that has been lined with something similar to lightweight cottons or a stretch lining fabric. Baylan's is built the same way 

[BrownEyes]

I forgot to mention:

 

- Shin's undersuit looks to be the same material as Sabine's flightsuit (likely a twill)

- On Shin's pleats, they look like frayed edges or fabric that have been stitched with with a wide zig zag pattern.

- On Baylan's cloak, the material seems to be heavier than Shin's and the hood seems to have a leather or leather like "hem" before the lightweight cotton/stretch liner fabric. 

[BrownEyes]

Sharing here what I shared in other groups:

 

Here is what I believe the fabric on shin is:

 

Close ups of her tabards seem to be VERY similar to those of Ben Kenobi in the OT which was hand woven raw silk. The weight, fraying, and overall look seem to match up. What I am not 100% sure on is her under tunic/skirt. In some pictures it seems to be a crinkle fabric while others seems to be the same fabric as her tabards. While not visible in the image provided, I believe her undersuit/flightsuit (purple color in the reference image) is made of the same or similar fabric that Sabine's is. Something to note is her pleats on the vest are not piped and rather appear to be wide zig zag stitches over frayed edges. Some areas have larger clumps of stitching.

 

Both Baylan's and Shin's cloaks are made out of a coating weight wool or melton fabric (or similar), this is even more apparent in the high res image. They both are lined with a lightweight cotton fabric or a stretch liner only on the hoods (EDIT: upon closer look, Shin's liner seems to have a ribbed texture). Baylan's cloak is visibly a more weighted fabric as light doesn't seem to shine through alongside it being more heavy looking/thicker. His hood has a "hem" made out of leather around the edges aside from the lining. For Shin, as mentioned by others, her cloak is much lighter and allows for light to shine through. I would have to get samples of different wool fabrics and see if any are lightweight enough to allow for light to shine through.

 

Hope this helps get started or steered into the right direction

[DarthValkyria]

The LMOs voted them into SLD

[LordZedel]

That is very wild! I’m honestly shocked 😮

[garyn]

That doesnt make sense on any level to me, but so be it.

That also means an end to my involvement here.

Its been an interesting journey so far.

 

[LordZedel]

i wish you all the best luck Gary  it was a lot of fun talking to you about dark empire and about baylon, and who knows maybe one day a costume will come out that will interest you in joining our ranks (the acolyte is just around the corner after all)
