MAKIING A JAWA
Note that while I got Rebel Legion and 501st Legion approval with these sources and methods, it does not mean that you are guaranteed approval if you follow these same steps. These companies also have no affiliation with the Rebel Legion nor the 501st Legion, nor do I speak on behalf of the Legions. This is just my way of trying to help people out since the world needs more Jawas.
ROBES
The robes are made of monks cloth, and I got mine pre dyed in the correct brown color. Be sure to buy from your source in one long big piece. (Meaning make sure that you are not buying them in precut yards, as some sources online sell them this way.) You will need enough to be able to cover your front and back in one continuous piece without needing to have a seam along your shoulders. I highly suggest watching the youtibe videos about making a Jawa that are from Rexin_Around and Utinni Army as those were the two I used when making mine.
MASK
The mask is a cheap hockey mask with black fabric hot glued over it. The yes are from HyperSpaceProps on Etsy. I attached strong earth magnets to the eyes and to the inside of the mask.

BANDOLIER
I bought my bandolier from the etsy store AllMadeupsShop. To weather it, I took it outside to the concrete and rubbed it all over to scratch it up. Any areas where I could not get to with the concrete (like the folds and such) I weathered using a knife to cut it up.
EXTRAS
The gloves are just long black opera gloves that I found on Amazon. For the Boots I bought knock off Uggs and used all of the scraps from making the robes and hood and glued them onto the boots. I made a point to wrap some under the bottom a little so that it covers the edge but I did NOT cover the majority of the bottoms of the boots as I thought that would make it too slippery. My sound system that I use at some troops is a Trooper Amp.
