Forgot about this one. Got a pic with another "Officer" General Grievous aka Matt Wood.

Yeah... this was definitely no December night premiere. I was definitely warm during the beginning.

So....whaddya think of my ISB uniform??
 

Makes sense since they are repro boots for WW2 which had nothing on the soles until they hobnailed and/or toe/heel plated them.

Approved!!!

Kris.... I must say you have, "The Look". 

I have one of those as well, so I'll give that a whirl first.  My rank bars and gloves come in today, so I should be ready to submit for approval. Thanks BJ!

It has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I've started a new thread here:
 

Oh yeah...we're gonna look good!! I'll be looking for your approval post on our forums!
 
We have plenty of material laying around here at home. Will probably just use some black cotton and sew it in.

So apparently there are not enough lines in the hat brim to meet the CRL. So I'm thinking I'll sew a small stitch line in the following manner.
 

"It will be a day long remembered."
Today I received my Anovos Line Officer (Olive) uniform Standard Line. We all know it takes a while to get stuff from Anovos, so I'm not going to get into that. I have it now and I want to share my thoughts. I want to premise this review with the fact that I took these photos with my Iphone 6 in my living room. My house has HORRIBLE lighting, but to my eye, the color of the uniform looks great!
 
To begin this review, I got excited to see that Anovos was reproducing these uniforms. I had my black cosplaysky uniform already so I could re-establish my membership with the Legion fairly quickly. While at Comic Con 2014, I was able to try on a display tunic at the Anovos booth.

 
I was impressed with the weight and construction of the prototype. Knowing that there is persons who have been in the historical reenacting community for years and years at Anovos was a plus. They know how these should fit since the original were all based on WWI and WW2 German uniforms.
 
Fast forward to after Celebration Anaheim and I ordered the standard line uniform.
 
Today was BBB Day from UPS.

 
The box does not bear the Anovos logo as seen with other products but has the logo across the tape (why this matters to anyone, I don't know...people like to know about packaging)

 
When I opened the box I was immediately disappointed that they sent me a brown uniform (lighten up folks!!)

 
Once I got the paper out, I was impressed to find that each component was individually boxed in nice boxes with graphics and description

 
So let's go top to bottom. The cap box looked as such...


 
Inside the box there was list of contents (I lied, belt and hat greeblies were in the hat box, sue me!)

 
Let's kick off Christmas early, shall we???



 
So here is the cap on a foam head that is way smaller than my head, so please remember it's not on my head (I'm not ready for my close-up Mr. Demille)






 
Also in the box were the belt, buckle and magnetic and pin on hat greeblies





 
On the the tunic. Again, individually boxed and wrapped. When I opened it I was immediately impressed with the weave of the material. I have several WWI and WW2 reproduction uniforms and this, even at the standard line, seems to be a nice quality poly blend likeness of that German Gabardine or Cavalry Twill. The jacket has a nice weight to it, but not overly heavy. I think the prototype I tried on was the heavier cavalry twill that the premiere line is using, but being that I'm in SoCal, I'll take it!

Lining is standard throughout the tunic.


The breeches....











 
Ok...here's some initial fitting pics. Again...the lighting in my house is horrible for pictures. The breeches have nice flare to them, but they look all bunched in the photo. I do not have stirrups installed, but once I do, these will not need stiffeners or anything like that. They were made correctly and naturally flare, but right now they're just stuffed in my boots. I'm fairly certain I will not need to have the uniform tailored. Having worn uniforms in real life with the USMC and WWI/WW2 reenacting world, the uniform fits like it should. That does mean that it snug in the arms, so you won't be throwing touchdowns at the next pick up game with the guys. This was normal for the era in which the movie costumes are based on. These are the best I could do since the family is out Christmas shopping...I"m on my own.
 


 
Some different lighting

 
Up close of the weave (under bright light...don't take this at the color)


 
Well there you. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Looks good, feels good.
