A note on robe length:  
We list the length of the robe, and then the suggested height that the robe would be best suited for.  
For example: 58" - 6'.  This means that the robe itself is 58 inches long from neck to hem and would best be suited for someone approximately 6 feet tall - it will be approximately ankle length.

Jedi Robes in Cotton and Wool
Black Cotton Brown Cotton Black Wool Brown Wool

Whether for a night cruising the bars on Tatooine or battling Sith Lords, these Jedi robes are the perfect way to start or complete a Jedi inspired costume!  These unlined robes feature oversized hoods, bell sleeves and professionally finished seams.  For your reference, the models are about 6 feet tall with 40 - 42 inch chest.  These robes open all the way down the front and there are no front closures - if you need a closure at the neckline or have sizing questions, please contact us.  Our robe measurement chart is located on our Custom Orders page.

These robes are intended to be 'generic' Sith and Jedi style - if you have a particular character you are trying to emulate or specific details you wish to have incorporated into your robe contact us for a custom order with your detailed specifications and which character so that we can provide you with a price quote.  Please keep in mind that many of the fabrics used in the original films are no longer manufactured but reasonably similar fabrics may be available.

The 100% cotton twill is similar in weave and weight to trouser/pants fabric, is machine washable, but does not have the same flow and drape that the wool flannel does and requires ironing.  It also has a slight surface sheen.  The wool is movie correct, has a depth of color and more luxurious texture, is warmer and naturally moisture and wrinkle resistant.  The wool is dry clean only.

These can be shortened to your specified length after purchase at no additional charge.  Please allow an extra 24 hours to make this adjustment prior to shipping.  See our Cloaks and Robes Measurement Chart on our Custom Orders page for the measurements we would need.

Grim Reaper Robes
Grim Reaper Robe
Grim Reaper Robe

Made from black textured 100% cotton, this Grim Reaper robe slips on over the head and has one hidden hook and eye at the neck. The hood is self lined, and is shown above with the optional face veil (available below for separate purchase).   This voluminous robe measures 74" at the chest circumference, and approximately 196" around the hemline.  The model wearing the robe shown above is 6' tall and has an approximately 42" chest circumference.  

The wrist end of the oversized bell sleeves and the hemline are intentionally cut to look ragged and aged.  If you wished to accentuate this effect upon receipt, this Grim Reaper robe can be shredded further with scissors, wire brush and/or sandpaper to the level of aging and distressing you wish this garment to portray, or you can add 'mud' or paint to create different effects according to your character.  Ageing the edges with bleach or other chemicals may turn this fabric red - test in an inconspicuous spot first.

Our Reaper robe can be worn loose as shown above, or you can belt it with a rope tied at the waist for a different look.

This robe also makes a great Ghost of Christmas Future for your production of A Christmas Carol!

These can be shortened to your specified length after purchase at no additional charge.  Please allow an extra 24 hours to make this adjustment prior to shipping.  See our Cloaks and Robes Measurement Chart on our Custom Orders page for the measurements we would need.  These robes can also be belted or tied at the waist and pulled up over the belt in the front to be a shorter length with a train effect in the back if the back is not pulled over the belt as much.

Sheer Black Face Veil for Grim Reaper Robe
 This separate veil is not included with or attached to the robe since many people have makeup effects, or full or partial masks that do not require veiling.  If you have no mask or makeup effect this is one way to hide your face.  This veil will be attached by you to fit inside the hood however you wish with safety pins (not included), then the edges can tuck into the neckline at the center front.

Lady Death Robe
This women's version of our crinkle textured black 100% cotton Grim Reaper robe could be used as a chemise, undergown, or layered with other costume pieces to create a variety of characters.  It differs from the regular Grim Reaper robe in that it has pleats at the shoulders and a black veil attached to the inside of the hood that can be tucked in at the front of the neck to hide the face and neck.  The veil could also be folded back inside the hood if you prefer to wear a mask or have your face showing.  The sleeve and garment hemlines have been distressed and shredded.  Shown here with a textured silk waist piece (93% Silk/ 7% Lycra - sold separately), this gown/robe could also be worn with your corset over top or simply belted with a rope, scarf or belt to create different looks.  The model in these pictures is 5'6" tall.  The generously sized gown measures 72" around the bust, 24" around the armpit/armsceye, is 55" from neck to front hem, and the train extends 68" from nape of neck to back hemline.

These can be shortened to your specified length after purchase at no additional charge.  Please allow an extra 24 hours to make this adjustment prior to shipping.  See our Cloaks and Robes Measurement Chart on our Custom Orders page for the measurements we would need.

Coats
Screen Used Cotton Canvas Duster
Screen Used Henry Duster Still
Still courtesy of and copyright Rainfall Films, 2010.
This screen used ranch tan 100% cotton canvas duster was created for a short Western film project.  Based on a historic garment design, this western duster coat has a removable shoulder cape (the cape double will be included with your purchase at no extra cost), back riding vent with snappable gusset, and two front pockets.  We made this garment from scratch, then aged and weathered both the fabric and the snaps to give it the look of having been exposed to the elements and travel over time.  This garment is intentionally distressed with holes, scuffing and wear to strategic high-use areas.  For filming, we used stage dirt, which has dry cleaned out, leaving the clean but physically distressed coat.  There is a stage blood stain above the right pocket and in a couple of other small areas on the coat which did not dry clean out.  Add your own dirt and you are ready for adventure!

We do have more of this fabric if you wished to have a new custom ordered, non-distressed duster or cloak made to your measurement specifications.  See our Custom Orders page for details about our custom ordering process.

The duster itself measures neck 18.5", chest 55", waist 57", and from center front base of neck to bottom hem the garment is 56" long.

Screen Used Charcoal Twill Duster

This screen used charcoal gray cotton twill duster was created for a short Western film project.  Based on a historic garment design, this western duster coat has a removable shoulder cape, back riding vent with snappable gusset, and two front pockets.  We made this garment from scratch, then lightly physically aged the garment.  This garment has some minor scuff marks and wear to strategic high-use areas, including a small tear about an inch long near the hemline near the back vent.  This fabric was labelled as rainwear material, and is water resistant.  This garment has been dry cleaned.  There is no more of this fabric remaining for custom orders.

The duster itself measures neck 17.5", chest 51", waist 54", and from center front base of neck to bottom hem the garment is 52" long.

Western Short Movie Duster After Distressing
Distressed Brown Cotton Western Duster Unused Movie Costume
This 100% cotton canvas duster was purchased pre-made from another manufacturer for a Western film project, but was never used.  We dyed, distressed, and painted the duster to make it look like it had been used and had a story to tell.  Below is the 'before', and the above picture is after dyeing, painting, distressing, and changing the color of the polyester thread that did not take to the dye bath.  The buttonholes had all of the original thread removed, then the buttonholes were re-worked by hand with brown thread.  Each dye bath takes four hours labor time + materials; the painting and distressing process took about two hours, and reworking the buttonholes by hand took about an hour.  The distressing on this coat is permanent, with the possible exception of one or two of the 'stains', which may come out with dry-cleaning.  This duster brand new cost about $140, so the total value of this coat is $340.  Garment label size "Large" - actual garment chest measures about 50" in circumference,  garment measures 45" - 46" in length from center front base of neck to hemline.
