This was a commission for a friend. He had spoken about wanting a Kylo Ren costume for the film premiere. I aimed to make the costume as accurate as possible with the limited references available at the time. Contributors on the Knights of Ren FB group and the RPF Forum were incredibly helpful.
I wrote a PDF document detailing each step of my build in depth. You can download it from my website.
Below is a summary.
 |
| My build notes and sketches |
 |
| Cutting the strips using a cardboard template and a rotary cutter. |
 |
| One sleeve completed. Each strip was sewn individually with a zig-zag stitch onto a cotton voile backing. |
 |
| Finished sleeves ready for the piping and zips. |
 |
| Finished gambeson using the same technique as the sleeves. The sleeves are attached to a T-shirt underneath. |
