A few months ago, in January to be more exact, I made a rain poncho, guiding me a little about Angelus' work and screenshots of the film.
I made a tutorial for the forum of Spanish Garrison, and now I will be translating it here little by little. I hope you like it

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Fabric: Black nylon 100% waterproof. 3 meters x 1.5 meters.

The rain poncho consist in three main parts: yoke and collar(blue), cape (black) and breastplate(green).

Let's go with the first one.
 
Cape
 
Cape is the most easy part. Consist of two rectangles, wich length is the size from the neck to the upper part of the boots, and width comes from the same point of the neck to the top of your fingers, putting your arms cross.

Then you have to sew it together only on the red line, a little bit more of the half.

 
Yoke and collar
 
This part consist in another four parts: back, front right side, front left side and collar.
 
Back:

I give you mi sizes as reference. It's based on a XL size from CosplaySky suit.

On the last image, the red line correspond to the seams need to be visible, about a 1" from the border.
 
Next, the front left side (from the wearer's point of view) consist in two pieces:



H.2 and H.3 need to be sew it together at the middle. H.3 will be on top of the front right piece. H.4 is the front right piece:

Now that's how it should look:


Grey part from H.4 will be hidden by H.3
Again, visible seams are required. Red are 1" from the border, blue are 1/2":

 
Bib

So sorry if 'bib' it's not the correct name for this piece.
 
The bib is quite simple to make. It consists of four sections, namely: two symmetrical sections, one inch wide, which will go on each side of the bib. A four-inch section on the left side, seen from the front, which will contain the pocket for the dosimeters, and finally a fourth central section.



 
The two outer sections will go down to the edge of our suit jacket, while the other two inner sections will be two inches longer. Remember, once again, to leave seam allowances when cutting the fabric.
 
The pocket in my case I made it four inches deep, enough to contain the dosimeters (at least the ones I have, manufactured by Malakili). For this I simply cut that section with the calculated length, plus twice the depth of the pocket, that is, eight inches. In this way simply by folding we get the pocket.
 
The fourth and last section, the central one, is the simplest. Simply calculate the width to fill in the full width of the shoulder / neck part.
 
And finally the visible seams. Across the bottom, seam to approximately a quarter of an inch to finish off the edge. Another quarter-inch seam in the center section over the pocket section. And most importantly, two cross seams in the pocket section. One inch horizontally from the edge of the pocket, and another vertically one inch to the left of the section. In this way we will "divide" the pocket in two, one of an inch almost useless and the other of three inches where the dosimeters will go. Earlier I said that this section will be four inches, although we now have a pocket really three inches wide. Keep in mind that a pocket less than two and a half inches wide we can have trouble putting two dosimeters.
 


 
Another measure that I have forgotten to comment on before, is that the pocket will be approximately two inches from the top edge.
 
And another thing to keep in mind when joining the three parts of the poncho, is that you have to form a "sandwich" in the following order from outside to inside: shoulders, cape and bib. I will leave some photos where I hope you can see well what I mean.

In that case, just for the record,  I will leave here again the FO boots on ISS

My unofficial thoughts:
Gentle reminder: we are not the RPF. We have to draw the line somewhere. ALL costumes can really get in the weeds with details. I myself, am also an ANH Vader and there's plenty of beyond level 3 details out there. 
 
Based on non saga precedent, we seem to be moving away from face officers that can be replicated with standard parts. I think Meero's tunic is different because she's the star: the first live action female officer. Everyone else gets stuff off the rack. The uniforms overall seem to be tailored to the folks wearing them.  I don't think those subtle production differences necessitate a new CRL. ANH and anthology tunics have taller collars and longer shirts. Jerjerrod has the only olive double yoke. 
 
We only have a handful of face officers as CRLs, but none of them recently. @buckrogersbarker can speak to those reasons. We don't have a Petigar or Yularen CRL because they can be made from the ISB Non Saga. We don't even have old school ANH Yularen CRL despite him being 50% of the ISB uniforms from ANH. I wanted to do an Andor Yularen, but that's just making a new CRL just for the sake of making a new CRL. It's superfluous. 
 
Zooming out a little bit and looking back, I also think we need to stay away from formalizing colors. Just look at the olive uniform color variations. Cosplaysky's green is its own thing and we still allow that. Sure, it's fun to overanalyze (it's who we are as IOC, and it's part of why we are here), but I think our job is to come with basic standards and not get lost in things like "Supervisor Gordy's tunic is slightly whiter" and put that into a CRL. 
 

ISB v3 tab was moved to the new CRL ISB Non-Saga (https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ISB_non_saga)
There is no signicant differences between Dedra Meero uniform and the rest of ISB officers, so I don't think a specific CRL for her would be made. Maybe a "Hair and appereance" section like in other CRLs? @chicken45

Approved in the sense of "yes-move forward with the CRL."
We need them to give their final blessing on the writeup we sent. 

Is that an officer?

On episode 6 we can see some kind of metal piece at each side of the military officers jacket to hold the belt. Can't get any screenshots right now but check minute 6:28 for example, on Colonel Petigar and 6:42 for Commandant Jayhold Beehaz (but I know this would be a completely new CRL). Can't remember if Lieutenant Gorn have this too.

Folks, I received word from the LMO office that they have determined that the imperial army trooper as seen in the show Andor will have the CRL made in the Spec ops detachment.
 
it will go there unless a new detachment is created to house it.
 
thank you everyone for your interest and passion.

Humm, check this one:

It comes from USA, maybe someone from that side could request a test

Nope, I mean this one

I know, I know, it’s a photo to an iPad, but can’t do better right now

Humm, check this one:

From a friend that was on the set wearing this uniform.
 
 
The fabric is a dyed denim. 
 
 
 
Inside the hat.
 
Stitches on the brim of the hat.
 
The greebles are cast from an original.

The IOC is helping us. We can try to get help from special ops also. But for the time being the discussions in Special Ops is more about the creation of an Army Detachment. The same kind of discussion we are having in Legion Council. Or at least I didn't found the topic for building up the army trooper from Andor (if I missed it, my apologies). 
 
Here we have a thread with at least 3 people interested in doing the army trooper. I have talked with a friend from the Spanish Garrison and IOC, that is also interested. My view is that we should coordinate and help ourselves the best we can over here, and then once we start to build things in the future, we can start to discuss about who will support us for the CRL. Maybe opening up a thread in the central forum will help also to gather more people. Or getting one thread open at Special Ops to coordinate also over there. I don't know. But honestly, for the time being and since I'm more used to this forum, I will remain here.
 
For the time being, and with ZERO experience in doing a new CRL, I will say that the list to get the build going is:
Find a suitable close enough fabric Get enough references to lay out the scheme of the uniform->Propose the schematics for discussion Get enough references for the accessories of the uniform->Propose accessories Get enough references for the armor uniform->Propose armor Also thanks a lot to @Fraserab for your help. It is just amazing for me to have the possibility of having someone like you helping us out.
@Bubuc44 we'll keep talking about the fabric with Angelica, since I believe the first option she showed us might work.
On my part I'll try to get more screen references and put them in a folder I can share with you all.
EDIT: Here a google picture album to share a few references I have been tacking out from IOC threads and scrennshots.->https://photos.app.goo.gl/mTTxFfWFk8ucffj48
Thanks a lot for all your help here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Fabric: Black nylon 100% waterproof. 3 meters x 1.5 meters.

The rain poncho consist in three main parts: yoke and collar(blue), cape (black) and breastplate(green).

Let's go with the first one.
 
Cape
 
Cape is the most easy part. Consist of two rectangles, wich length is the size from the neck to the upper part of the boots, and width comes from the same point of the neck to the top of your fingers, putting your arms cross.

Yoke and collar
 
This part consist in another four parts: back, front right side, front left side and collar.
 
Back:

On the last image, the red line correspond to the seams need to be visible, about a 1" from the border.
 
Next, the front left side (from the wearer's point of view) consist in two pieces:



H.2 and H.3 need to be sew it together at the middle. H.3 will be on top of the front right piece. H.4 is the front right piece:

Now that's how it should look:


Grey part from H.4 will be hidden by H.3
Again, visible seams are required. Red are 1" from the border, blue are 1/2":

 
Bib

The bib is quite simple to make. It consists of four sections, namely: two symmetrical sections, one inch wide, which will go on each side of the bib. A four-inch section on the left side, seen from the front, which will contain the pocket for the dosimeters, and finally a fourth central section.

The fourth and last section, the central one, is the simplest. Simply calculate the width to fill in the full width of the shoulder / neck part.
 
And finally the visible seams. Across the bottom, seam to approximately a quarter of an inch to finish off the edge. Another quarter-inch seam in the center section over the pocket section. And most importantly, two cross seams in the pocket section. One inch horizontally from the edge of the pocket, and another vertically one inch to the left of the section. In this way we will "divide" the pocket in two, one of an inch almost useless and the other of three inches where the dosimeters will go.

Hey all, just so this is posted for all to see, here is the final text of the CRL, which I will be submitting to the LMOs in the next day or two.  If I've missed something (something actually planned for this round, as we've had a number of discussion above about changes we'll address in the future), y'all have a couple of days to pipe up.
 
As a reminder, the goal of these revisions is to fold in the option for straight pants and Chelsea boots (the "Social Officer" configuration) as a tabbed alternative, like we did with the Olive Military Officer (Non-Saga) CRL, and to align the language used between the two main non-saga Officer CRLs.  The actual changes are quite minor language tweaks for clarity, not really changes to actual requirements.  The Military Officer CRL, after all, was largely revised from this same source text.
 
(The one really minor change yet to come may be to the Gloves portion, depending on how the LMOs recommend we structure it.  We want to require them for the full v1 formal version, since we have seen *zero* on-duty officers in black without gloves to date, but make them optional for the v2 "social" variant, since they were NOT wearing gloves in that scene.  They're listed twice, as a result, which is a little odd, but we'll see if the LMOs have a better organizational suggestion.)
 
 
[Editing post, the forum completely borked ALL formatting *sigh*]
 
EDIT: Updated text added to the post below.  If I have to reformat text from scratch that one more time, I think I'll jump off a pier LOL
 

This CRL is live.
 
The LMOs have announced it on the main 501st forums here:

And the CRL is live here:

Congratulations, @Peterpan!

Policy should not be justified behind closed doors.  It should be out in the open.  And I will do what I can to have these policies and decisions discussed put in the open.  Please bear with us. 

Yes, it’s inconsistency like this that have so many of us so upset.
If there were clear and defined rules and procedures that would be one thing, and I’m sure we would all accept that.
(For those who argue that there MUST be 360° views, this is quite simply not the case. The very wording says that ideally there should be these views available, is does not say that they are a definitive requirement)
But this doesn’t appear to be the case here. We see some costumes get through and others not.
I’ve said it here before and I’ve said in the moan Legion boards, CRLs are continuously revised and updated over time. I’m literally part of the IOC CRL team doing that very thing now. We are talking about a fabric tunic which in all likelihood has nothing to see on that back than we’ve already seen. The very reason it hasn’t been seen is that there’s nothing to see. There is no hard armour, no backpack, no wings or fairylights there. It’s fabric. There might be an additional seam. And this is worst case. 
If the CRL was green lit right now with the known sources, any future references could be easily incorporated into the text or images, if required.
This happens literally all the time. We improve our CRLs when more information comes to light.
