Robe colors sometimes spoke to the type of Jedi wearing them, such as with the gray robes associated with Gray Jedi in the time of the Old Republic. Vandar Tokare and Zhar Lestin, for instance, would wear blue robes around the time of the Jedi Civil War, while their contemporary Vrook Lamar wore red robes. However, there were some Jedi that wore Jedi robes in other colors. In effect, the wearing of such robes became an exercise in concentration. This was to learn to ignore distracting physical sensations. At least a few Jedi, though, wore robes that were deliberately rough spun and itched against the wearer's skin. Jedi robes were simple and comfortable, long, flowing robes, including an overtunic, an undertunic, a cloak or outer robe with a hood, and sometimes a tabard, each of which generally varied in earth tones.
Padawans wore plain robes similar to those worn by Jedi Knights. The simplicity of the Jedi apparel was in many ways symbolic of the selfless compassion that characterized the Jedi Order. Since they were given what they needed and their desires were controlled, most Jedi wore traditional yet simple Jedi robes, not feeling the need for fancy and outstanding outfits.
Jedi were raised their entire lives without possessions except for a lightsaber. " Jedi is as Jedi does, Lord! And if he has taste." ― Valenthyne Farfalla The rough material proved useful on survival missions, as it was strong enough to show some resistance to tearing and fraying, as well as putting the wearer through some discomfort to help sharpen their focus. The apparel also allowed great freedom of movement. As these garments were not usually elaborate, the outfit mirrored their attachment-free philosophy, as well as showing their requirement to live almost devoid of luxury and also their devotion to service. The attire usually was made in shades of brown or sometimes black, with a utility belt for various purposes, but also as a place on which to clip a lightsaber.īoots, loose-fitting pants and a cloak typically accompanied the garment.
Traditionally, Jedi wore clothes that befitted their monastic lifestyle, but variations on the theme were common, particularly after the rebirth of the Order following the Galactic Civil War. Jedi apparel was the term given to the attire of members of both the old and New Jedi Orders.
