2025 Hitchhikers Guide to Attire

Primary Look:

The idea is post-modern and futuristic, Galaxy far Away, and vaguely militaristic, but not in the super-rigid imperial homogeny, more like the rag-tag volunteer militia pragmatism. Notable departures from that are with color, mostly for optical unity.

  • SHOES:
    • Black or Brown. Natural tones are best
    • Hardy, not flashy
    • COMFY. This is a parade, stamina is measurable in MILES.
  • PANTS:
    • Yes, pants.
    • I can’t tell you a mini-skirt is fundamentally not a pragmatic choice, but…
    • The goal is to wear more or less the same outfit to every gig. It should be “all-weather”
    • RED in color. If you have to ask, find something more red.
      • Distressed or rusty is ok
      • Camo is not.
    • Pockets? heck yah, carry your stuff!
  • TOP:
    • Blue coat.
      • Tactical, military, future-punk.
      • Blue should be no lighter than “Royal” and no darker than “Navy”
      • Accents should be minimal, black, or red, or gold.
      • RFB patch on Left sleeve
      • Rebel Alliance patch on Right sleeve
      • Officer insignia at collar if applicable
    • Shirt / vest
      • Natural tones, with gold accents as the exception
      • Consider the weather, keep yourself from suffering.
    • Belt
      • Match the shoes, we aren’t monsters.
  • HAT:
    • Still thinking on this. Ask yourself, would you be likely to see it on a star wars cast member?
  • Accents:
    • Tacti-cool
    • Blacks, Golds, or illuminated in white, blue or red.
    • Chewie style bandoliers? Awesome.
    • Should not interfere with playing/marching.
    • Subject to the hat test.
