Another new guy

[Chevalier]

I'm attempting to make two costumes, one for my wife which will be her SWTOR bounty hunter, and a bounty hunter/force user cross for a third faction of force users I'm trying to make, tentatively called the Chevaliers. They wear Mando armor top and bottom with whatever boots they want and a Jedi/Sith robe. I'm looking at them as basically the force balancers, or a Star Wars Judge Dredd. If a force user from either faction starts to shift the balance too far, they will step in and "Dredd" the user. They created themselves after all the Skywalker incidents to stop the seismic shifts in the force. The problem I am having with the costumes is the undergarment. I don't like the mechanic coveralls/ Swat fatigue looks of the average bounty hunter costumes. I want something more form fitting, such as a wetsuit or morph suit as in my opinion the wearer wouldn't want the armor flapping around, they would want it staying right where they put it. It's as much convenience as comfort. I can't seem to find anything in the middle that will work. The morph and spandex suits are too thin and I don't feel they would hold up well under the weight of the armor, and the wetsuit is too thick for Arizona heat as well as I don't think it has the durability for more than two or three years. Any thoughts or opinions would be great!! And my apologies if I put all that info into the wrong thread.

Go commando problem solved. They can feel the force better this way with less barriers between them and the force. On a serious note only you have a concept for what you want and since you are going far away from canon I don't know if anyone will be able to help you here.

I know some of the other sites have said they use flight suits, get a size small to keep from bunching. I just don't know as my wife's frame is so small it would still bunch all over her arms and legs. But thank you for the reply. I'd go commando but don't need to be arrested. I don't think they would believe me if I said my suit was made out of the living force, and only force users can see it.

Arklady here makes custom tailored flight suits. If you sent her your wife's measurements I am sure she would solve your problem.
