I hate to say it, but actually... Obi-Wan's old robes is one of the few things that were part of Lucas' original vision. An aged mentor "dressed in the robes of the old religion" is included in a couple of early drafts.
I would interpret the tan raw silk robe, obi and tabard that he wears underneath his brown wool cloak as the "Jedi dress" though, the brown woolen cloak as being a necessary dress for living on Tatooine.

I would have liked more japanese influences in the films...
