Star Wars Style | Thrift Store Haul (Making a Star Wars Outfit using Second Hand Pieces)

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Flight Crew Question: "What Star Wars Style outfit, or character do you want to put together? "

[@lyndseychilds625]

I want to do a mando or boba spin off. What you showed in this video gives me a solid baseline. Post more of these videos! Love it!

[@ericheaberlin4312]

Bounty hunter, Rebel Pathfinder, exiled Jedi are my go to ideas.

[@toad3593]

I have a little Han Solo bound I’m working on, still need to do some more thrifting!!

[@brianhenley1525]

I have an oc mandalorian character I'm currently working on he was born on Mandalore and as a young child was marooned on raxis prime after pirates attacked his parents ship. Unfortunately alot of my thrift stores are like you guys said very small selection of men's especially since I'm a taller guy. So most likely I have to order everything online. Although I did get some similar goggles but a bit different for him that you all have. You all made an excellent video here and keep up the amazing work. By the way I would love to see you guys review the ewok films at some point.

Putting together a season one Ezra could use some help

[@iolaus2010]

I've always wanted to make my own Star Wars outfit without having to start with raw material. I am not gifted like that, I can come up with an idea but can't bring it to life. Now I can without destroying the house and my hands. Thank you Grand Master Ashley.....this is the way.

[@TheNickhendricks]

I loved doing this with my wife for the opening of the land! Do men and women Star Wars hairstyles next!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Great idea. We were actually taking about this today!

[@ottomatix3397]

Henceforth you shall be known as Darth..................................... Goober!! ✨🐾✨

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Lol he was such a dark lord that day. Very composed

[@verations]

Did anyone else catch Bryan's mithril find! that is perfect for your next hobbit adventure, lol!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Hahahahah YoU did. Thank you Vera. 😋

[@nerdofpray]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

This is super useful. Especially now that we know the Galactic Starcruiser is actually encouraging guests to be in full cosplay! EDIT: Girl, I totally relate on growing up poor and becoming a master at thrift store shopping. It's a necessity and a gift.

[@madisontock2899]

I love your Obi Wan Kenobi shirt! He's my favorite Star Wars character😁😁😁

[@raymondcriadojr]

Never thrifted before, but I’m gonna try now lol

[@maxwilson7001]

Yeah same haha

[@Kai-San7]

Ashleigh is so awesome at picking those clothes and making Bounds out of them :)

[@ashleighmelissa8960]

Thank you!!! 🥰

[@thejayhenriquez]

I want to create my own original outfit based on normal clothes, but with greeblies and patches and aurebesh! And I’m always amazed at how Ashley makes it look so easy when you guys go thrift shopping! I feel your pain,Bryan! Greetings from your Dutch/Aruban Flight Crew!🚀

[@robertark995]

You guys inspired me to express my love for Starwars and to not be ashamed about it

[@XMerribelles]

That bag is a great find! The return of the Jedi reference was super funny 😄

[@shampoovta]

This made me so happy. I miss Thrift Store shopping and Swap Meets. It's like digging in your grandmas button box to look at all the buttons. It's so fun. You learn to be creative in the limitations of thrifting. Not just with outfits. I have seen people from Relaxshacks building tiny shacks using stuff like a mixing bowl for a window to a survivalist guy making a wood stove from pots and pans. Amazing creativity using found objects.

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

Love this guide, thank you so much! I'm planning my outfits for Starcruiser when it finally opens. I'm thinking Rebel Pilot, Jedi, and Sith 🤔

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Sounds like a great look Amanda. Look forward you your bound outfit.

[@Morgan-Joyce]

Bryan you made my whole day better (at the moment I’m struggling with applying to university as a transfer student, so my stress is high to get all my classes done) but just the moment with your head in the vest? I was dying of laughter! It’s so great, thank you so much!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Haaaaa happy to help lol. I was telling Ash when I saw the arm hole, I just had the urge to stick my head in there lol. Stress is a part of life we for us all. Happy we can help you laugh a bit of it away today. Keep working hard and enjoying learning at university.

[@toad3593]

I just got off of work and Always Believe uploads a Star Wars style guide?!?!? Today just got even better!! Keep up the wholesome and creative content Ash and Bryan!! You guys are awesome!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

We will be hear when you return from your adventures for the day Kral. Happy you can hangout with us today !

[@murphy0308]

Ashley has such a great eye! Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@exploriso3949]

Love ones like this, thrifty finds to Star Wars gems! With just a bit of combining certain pieces and a bit of modding, can transform basic blah to beautiful bounding!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Love the way you put that. Blah blah to beauty. Everything is from a certain point of view...

[@CephaLynchPod]

Lol, I love the net scene reference with the sweater vest!! 😆

[@TheDojason]

I love the “put the vibes out there” mentality!

[@joshuajewell5278]

So I've never really done any bounding (as I've only ever been to WDW one time). This really helps for creating original characters, not just bounding. Thanks Ash and Brian!

[@lauratheartist3266]

The green jacket would be a cool Endor jacket look!

[@MakerMaddox]

Scouring second hand trading posts was my absolute favorite thing to do in the lead up to visiting Batuu. How does everything magically change to possible in universe stuff when you're hunting, right?! The minute I was done, it all became normal again. Haha!

[@anniegordonperkins5284]

Earthy tones, orange shirt white puffy vest!! Thanks for the inspiration A & B!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

thank you Annie for playing along with us today. Sounds like a fun bound you have going on.

[@StarrOrbitzAgent]

LOL got the #GalaxyOfHeroes vibes. #Queen of #StarWarsStyle

[@AlwaysBelieve]

ooooo thank you.

[@leahnelson3665]

I'm going to try to put an Obi-Wan inspired bound for my trip to DTD next week.

[@gregreed8804]

That Vader bound is amazing!

[@tylerwoodhull8054]

Omg goober in The darth Vader costume

[@AlwaysBelieve]

He was such a great dark lord lol

[@navyvet7138]

This man is a legend and how he found a women thats into Star wars just as much as he is, This is very rare. Most girls would call you a geek back in my days of the 80s and 90s

[@LadyInwe]

My Disney vacation is coming up in 54 days and I have all 8 of my bounds together. Just have to dye a few things and I will be ready to rock and roll. Thank you for inspiring not only me but others to let their imagination play and really get into a character.

[@StarWarsAddict88]

Yub Nub is what's written on the scavenger bag. Awesome haul guys

[@sparrowarrow5006]

I love the red kyber crystal necklace

[@RexofSunshine]

As soon as I saw the title of the video I send a link to my friend, who I’m planning on going to Disney with (as soon as possible and after covid has dialed down a bit more)! I wanna go thrifting with her SO BADLY! Unfortunately everything is still closed where I live 😭 hopefully it will be possible soon

[@mcgowanpw]

Great work. Really enjoyed the "Always Believe" Action Figure shots. Plus showing a visual reference for each look was really helpful.

[@soccertl]

Wow, you put together some really great outfits with those finds. Nice job.

[@scoutjax3202]

When you pulled out the long black sweater I thought of dark ray. With the Vader dress I think it would be a good bark ray

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Yes that’s a great look you could use for it too

[@travelingthief]

I would love to put together more of a smuggler rebel bound. It would kind of be cool to make, because its great to have a bag to hold extra stuff in

[@artemizz6046]

The Luke impression in the net had me dying! Rewinded it twice hahahah. Love you guys! Love disneybounding!

[@nateoshea78]

I couldn’t help but notice the “stop light” in the vid by Ash (red pillow, yellow pillow, green sweater) 😊

[@GadgetTrish]

Thank you guys for so much inspiration. I liked everything and my favorite was the “Darth Vader” dress. Super cool that your bag had money in it. LOL to your video references. I love your “second hand” approach.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Thank you Trish! And thank you for your Instagram posts. It was fun to hear the voice of our Flight Crew. 😁. The Vader dress is great. The red lights just turn on themselves when you wear it lol

[@GadgetTrish]

@@AlwaysBelieve love to share your post, you guys really have such a cool vibe and great content. 😂 to the red light turning on when the Vader dress is on.

[@aimeekitty]

Really good! I love it when you guys do fashion stuff.

[@kristinadavid5844]

My best friend always tells me to go to the thrift store to find things to bound and I can’t wait to go again!!! 😌

[@pauldenton8832]

I think I prefer "Thrifted" SW outfits for Rebels and Galactic Civilians, rather than anything "Official" There are just so many ways to express and create new character impressions out there. I think adding one signature official item is generally enough to place your character, then feel free to bound away. Another inspiring video, BTW!

[@jcasillas78]

Another thrift store tip, call and ask what day they restock (usually a Wed or Thurs.) Also International army surplus stores are great for Finding Star Warsy stuff, in particular Austrian Army pants. They have plackets (flaps) over the pockets and buttons which is a thing you see a lot in Star Wars costumes. As for boots look for used riding or polo boots if you want a authentic look for a costume, for a bound a pair of harness boots is pretty close.

[@infin8um]

All hail Ash: Queen of the Thrift Hunters! I'm surprised neither of you grabbed that jacket that looked like a skinned Fozzy Bear. Thanks again for taking us on an adventure 🖤

[@colecanaletti3411]

The sharpie on the bag is so clever! Might be stealing it.. 👀

[@travelgeneralt]

The Thrift Force is strong with Ashley...!!!!... Get sole inserts for boots or shoes...

[@zoebennett8388]

Thank you so much, this was such helpful advice and you always have such a great positive energy❤

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Happy you had so much fun today. Look forward to you making your own outfit Zoe.

[@kcbaby136]

DEFINITELY saving this video! Our Galaxy’s Edge trip was canceled due to Covid but I’m thinking now that I need to do some thrifting so we can go Star Wars bounding when we’re finally cleared to travel again!! HUGE THANK YOU!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💖💖💖

[@AlwaysBelieve]

amazing, so happy to hear you are inspired from this episode for your next trip. Hope you can put a bound together soon!

[@kwu2242]

U guys r so creative. i never realized that that's how bounding was done. Really eye opening reveal.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

It’s easier to do than you might have thought. And fun!

[@natalienajar]

I really loved the Ben solo idea

[@thedarkknight803able]

Well I know what look for at a thrift store. To Star Wars cosplay. Thank you for ideas. 😁👍🏿

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Happy you had some inspiration hanging out with us today

[@RetroMinnie87]

I love Jin Erso's look so that's kind of what time going for. I love this video. Very well done! Great tips!

[@zewise1]

Ash: you should put that vador dress with that long black cardigan ( the emperor one) should be a great combo

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Great idea. Will have to try that too!

[@Austinbuff]

This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for

[@nicocappabianca5729]

My friend and I took notes for our upcoming trip Disney World

[@kieranemond9548]

Would be interesting to see a video based on Bryan's outfits

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

with boots if you can find a shoe guy you can always get the souls redone and they usually are not that expensive if you find something used and good.

[@authentikait]

thrifting is definitely time consuming but sooo rewarding~ agree 1000% with ash on trying to build with solid basics that work for multiple looks. i feel like looking for versatility also just helps you buy clothes that you'll wear more often in general. love these style guide videos and i'm always working on more star wars bounds for the rebellion/resistance!

[@lisirhiannon9507]

I've been using the online consignment shop Thredup to build some Batuu bounds. It's not as quite as low priced as places like Goodwill, but I'm not comfortable going into shops yet. I had hoped to one day cosplay Rey and had resolved to get her Po-Zu boots for myself as a Christmas present, but I missed the Black Friday deal and now they're gone. I'll stay positive though, and hope one day I'll find some boots to do a proper cosplay. Thank you Ash and Bryan for making these videos for us!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Really good, practical ideas. I spent years crafting and sewing cosplay outfits from scratch, this is much more realistic and effective! Few if any are going to truly care(or even know!) if you made it yourself, not if all the elements are pulled together well! Very cool video, thanks!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Great points Shaman. If you enjoy creating the outfit though, it is still fun to make from scratch.

[@TheKCFilms]

I want to put together a Ben Solo bound so I can wear it to Galaxy’s Edge if it ever opens again. We must believe! 🤞

[@melizabeth4724]

I love all these finds! Definitely inspired me to go thrifting this week.

[@pamfogal2908]

Now we need to find some good Vegas stores!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

There has to be something

[@cuteybuppy3605]

As I don't have any plans on doing this anytime soon; both this and your other video was very informative. As former thift store employee; I want to add my own advice; don't be afraid to ask the employees for help because they might be able to find some unique pieces.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

thank you for the tip! And yes its a great way to make an outfit still

[@cuteybuppy3605]

@@AlwaysBelieve You're welcome.

[@AylonPesso]

I was definitely always super intimidated by thrift shopping, but all of your tips & suggestions & ideas have definitely helped, and now I can’t wait to go find some funky jackets and cool stitching patterns for my next Star Wars bound. Thanks so much as always!

OMG!!!!! That Obi-Wan shirt though!! DAMN!

You guys are giving me a good excuse to go to Goodwill when I get the chance😁😁😁😁

Thanks 🙏🏾 for this. Getting ready for Star Wars celebration 🎉 Christmas

[@FalconSquadron]

Love seeing how to find items to make a bound this way. Going to have to go to our local shop with my fiancée and give it a go for a fun date.

[@AlwaysBelieve]

it really is a fun activity to do together. Great date night idea.

[@SkeletonQueen3268]

I’m going to Galaxy’s Edge my birthday in February and I’m trying to start finding stuff for a bound and this is very helpful!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

amazing, if you have anymore questions please reach out.

[@miaf4743]

Love all the ideas of both light and dark side outfits for bounding on a budget. I would start off on the dark side I feel to go with my Vader loungefly and mood lately lol 😂

[@MrHarryGray]

Yessss love it, can’t wait for stores to open back up here in the UK to start putting together looks like these !

[@AlwaysBelieve]

Hope they can soon too

[@nerdofpray]

Yep, charity shops & car boots. If only there was somewhere to go in the UK that justified a 'bounding' outfit.

[@MrHarryGray]

@@nerdofpray all dressed up and nowhere to go 😂 make some great photos though

[@nerdofpray]

@@MrHarryGray We need a 'Scum and Villainy Cantina', if not a 'Galaxy's Edge'. 'Bradford Bounding' doesn't have the same ring to it, and it requires a different dress code to seem part of that world 😉

[@WildDears]

I love these types of videos! Being a guy it’s so hard to put things together, (i think I could do this for my wife much easier) I don’t have a lot so far, mostly kylo and first order outfits with a couple mandolorian looks as well. My biggest problem (since we are batuu east) is the heat. I have a couple things that work well but when we visit Batuu in September it’s an oven and the outfits I have really only work in fall winter florida weather because of jackets, scarfs, sweaters I have been known to suffer through it, but it’s almost too unbearable More male “it’s hot af outside” looks would greatly be appreciated Thanks for the videos!

[@Simply.everything.skywalker]

Omg I love y’all’s style I really have been watching to go thrifting I’ve never tried layering clothes such a fantastic idea

[@marandabishop4966]

thank you so much for all your help in my comicon costume

[@Galactic_Factotum]

growing up going to thrift stores with my grandmama, this was such a delight to watch. I loved every second of this video 😭 I need to go thrifting ASAP as possible. I wanna start piecing together some sort of Batuu bound for myself. Amazing video as always(believe) 💙

[@fleursbydesign]

Great ideas for bounding 😀

[@bigastyl5466]

Nice! 💛

[@timeless4168]

this was a fun video I actually was kinda worried about going to thrift stores but I'm starting to feel comfortable after watching this video.

[@teresalyn1678]

Sith Snuggie 🤣. How about some bounding looks with things that currently available from Target ? 🤩

[@Bex258]

Love the finds. I don't have any big thrift stores near me, the local charity shops have more items than clothes. I think London has some places to go to so when everything opens up and I've been vaccinated I'll have to check that out. As I end up buying new I try not to buy a lot and make it wearable for more than one occasion/event (with the exception of cosplay items). My UK recommendations are H&M - they often have good neutrals and I managed to pick up some great things in their sale before. Shoezone - they have the best choice for cheap shoes that you might want to customise. They have quite few sales and a mix of options. I picked up knee high boots for Jedi, Solo and X-Wing pilot cosplays and bounds and I also found a pair of ankle boots to customize for my Mando cosplay for £10. They have ankle boots for men too that would work great for rebellion outfits.

[@danasitts1206]

This is so helpful, I'm excited to go thrift shopping for my next Batuu bound!

[@AlwaysBelieve]

many times it takes just a simple insight into the magical to realize it is possible.

[@dresterbigsby7657]

Good finds! I think it might be time for me and my wife to go searching for some new batuu bounds! We’re going to visit galaxy’s edge in Florida for the first time!

Lo-fi star wars music is cool

[@lionhod1516]

i took your advice to heart and now always buy thrift to use in bounds and cosplay. the one i have just finished was a skywalker bound similar to a comic book skywalker outfit

San Francisco was a thrifting paradise pre covid. We had so many great stores to search through that I had to stop going cuz I was simply out of room. The struggle is real!

[@christiantheimprovguy1769]

It's funny, this has started a whole conversation at our house about passion and obsession about things. All of our favorite times in our loves have been when were were passionately obsessed with things. From Burning Man, to Ren Faire, to Star Wars, to Cosplay: When we're into something it makes life so happy. It's no wonder our closets are full.

[@lesliey.5297]

Darth Vader or dark side bound look would be cool to try.

[@suzannefortner6065]

Perfect timing for me to find you and this video. First, I really appreciate this. I have done this for my Steampunk outfit and a Newt Scamander also. I hadn't thought of a Star Wars outfit yet. BUT I'm off to Disney World in July. So I will for sure be thinking of how to do something Galaxy's Edge inspired but cool enough to not over heat. Oh my gosh, I'm getting even more excited! Thank. you. BTW I found you from a video from Ordinary Adventures when you all ran into each other.

[@wdwnutjm]

We're 2 weeks away from Disney World - working on our Batuu-bounding outfits now, this is a great video!!!!! I'm a community theater costumer who hasn't been able to work on a show for the past year so I'm using that energy by costuming US!!! GREAT looks - thanks for the inspiration (& we'll tag ya on Instagram)

[@haleyvanbaale1013]

I go to the thrift stores out here in CO like almost every week. If I could, I would go every single day. I literally look for anything Disney and have probably found about 50 things by now 😍 I can’t wait to move back to Cali and thrift for Batuu stuff!!!

[@bricejones2225]

[@suzyqch665]

I have a few Batuu outfits, but I'm always looking to expand. I generally focus more on looking like I belong in the universe as a unique character than emulating an existing one, but I definitely take inspiration from my faves, Han and Leia.
