Struggling to find fabric for Star Wars cosplay

Hi there! I'm working on my Director Krennic cosplay, and I'm struggling to find the correct fabric.

As most sold costumes are either to expensive or not of good enough quality for me, I've decided to make it myself. Now I've run into the problem that I cannot find the correct fabric for the tunic, cape and pants. everything is either just not the correct shade or not the correct twill/material. I have walked through so many local shops and looked at so many online shops and I just can't find it

I specifically need medium/heavy white wool an light/medium black wool. the official instructions from the 501st website are:

Tunic:

  • Tunic is constructed of a medium to heavy white twill weave fabric.
  • Wool or wool-like twill weave is preferred.

Pants:

  • Fabric is a black medium weight suiting material, the weave matches the tunic material.

Cape:

  • Fabric is of a light to medium white cotton twill or similar material.

Any recommendations? I live near Amsterdam if that helps.

Thank you very much!

so my question is more of a community question, but first a litlle background. sadly, most species will or have never be fosilised and therefor never found by archeologists. this means that most biodiversity of the ancient world has been lost to time and can never be accuratly portrayed i stuff like documentaries or posters or other media.

lets say we have a documentary, that has an episode featuring Microraptor. my question is, would you be against seeing multiple species/subspecies of Microraptor or Microraptor-like species in that forrest even though only 1 (maybe 3?) species has been described? kind of like how there are multiple species of parrot in the same forrest or multiple species of corvid in the same city.

how do you see this? do you feel its a good representation of biodiversity or do you feel like its a blatant afront to nature? how would you want it to be represented?

my sincerest thanks upfront!
