Now this kind of majesty and style is a fantasy look I can get behind. Particularly with the choices of decorative plate on the gorget and combination of chainmail and a tabard.
This epic suit of armour took me 3 months of work. Every single piece of this armour was made with artistry and neatness to satisfy my customer. I used the best materials I could get to make it safe,durable and special. Hundreds of work hours, liters of sweat… but it’s totally worth of any sacrifice. Many thanks to my friends, who inspired me, who helped me, your support is invaluable. Photos made by my friend: www.lenartfotografia.pl Model: Karolina Sęk

i feel like obi-wan was constantly giving cody heart attacks because as the war went on and got more and more dangerous, obi-wan kept deciding “oh, i kinda feel like wearing less aRMOR TODAY”
like honestly, look at this:
early in the clone wars he had chest armor that looks like it probably covers his heart from both the front and the back and also has plating all the way up his arms as well as on his shins. it’s not perfect, but it’s definitely something, especially considering how the majority of the time, the enemy used blasters
after the time skip, apparently obi decided all that plastoid was cramping his style so he got rid of basically all of it except for his forearms. i would love to see his clones’ reaction to finding out their reckless general had now made himself even more of a target.
by ROTS obi-wan decided to basically fuck armor entirely, opting for fabric and leather alone, content in the assumption that the power of the force and pure concentrated sass will save him. he doesn’t even have gloves anymore lol. cody has long given up hope.
and it only gets funnier when you go back even earlier in the war, because he used to wear FULL ARMOR
boy even wore a helmet
no other Jedi did this, Obi-Wan just went full trooper and wore their armor, rode their speeders, wielded their weapons, “Jedi propriety” be damned (and other Jedi did comment on this). Qui-Gon would be so proud.
and then he just starts….stripping as the war goes on
What with his track record with robes, it was only a matter of time before he misplaced all his armor too.
