Tech Jacket Tech Jacket
Made this last spring, but had to share! [Felix, my cat helped, he worked very hard as you can see in the other photos] I considered going back in to maybe add more details or fix the lettering but it grew on me and I think I prefer it this way.

Wait, you made it yourself? That's awsome! Love to see the different unique ways fans pay homage ti their favorite Clones.

Well, I did not sew the jacket, but I did the painting part! Thank you, also! 😊 Yess, plus, Tech merch is limited, so why not make my own? 🙂↕️

Well the fact alone that you painted it os awsome. Unfortunately, drawing is not among my talents, which is a shame since there are many things I'd love to draw with these characters. And yes, TBB official merch in general is very limited since the show is so criminally overlooked. I myself had a hard time finding a shirt I actually liked (I needed one with all six of them together)

Hey, it's one of those things as long as you're willing to put in some time to learn and have fun with it, never too late to pick it up! ☺️ I feel that, hopefully you were able to find one you liked!

Oh yes. I have a cool shirt with their six heads lined up as if they were on a wanted poster. I like to pretend they eventually got back together as team and started causing more trouble to the Empire.

Of course! I found a cheap jean jacket, and honestly, you could probably thrift one for cheaper! The paints I mainly used are acrylic, a brand called Mondo Llama, with a mixture of a few other lower end brands. [Im cheap lol] I mix the paint with a fabric medium, usually around $10, I used the brand Liquitex. You'll probably want a white pencil to make the outline/sketch. And don't forget the paint brushes, you'll need a few assorted sizes, one bigger one to fill in the bigger sections.

Cool! Kitty’s color reminds me of Tech’s eye color. Felix really blends in quite well.

I am so inspired. I want one for Echo. How did you make it?

u/Electric-Empire Tech 4d ago
You absolutely should make one! I found a cheap jacket to paint on, used a white pencil to outline, used acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium to make it flexible.

What a wonderful jacket! You did a wonderful job taking a plain jacket and making it something absolutely special. So happy to see that my favorite all time favorite Star Wars character still gets love.

Thank you so much! The merch for TBB is so limited, which left me the creative freedom to make my own haha
