    Imperial Briefcase

    How’s the build going with the case? I was thinking of tracking one down, but I can’t seem to find the aluminum version that you found.

     

    I however have found a couple of the black version, but the size seems larger then what’s in the CRL. Do you know if that’s the correct size? 

    Need advice about zippers and stretchpanels on boots.

    Which costume are you planning to make? Have you thought about Chelsea boots? They are comfortable and fairly inexpensive. You would need straight leg pants instead of riding breeches, or jodhpurs. Then I would recommend saving up for a costume pair of riding boots in the future.

    Of course you can always add a zipper and stretch-panel as you stated but I would high recommend that you talk to your GML to see if they would approve it, as they would have the final say. Depending on the cost of adding a zipper and panel compared to costume boots.

    I looked at a frame by frame on this scene in the trailer and I looks like a fairly easy build if we can get better reference photos of the costume. I did note that they are wearing snowboarding boots, but just not sure of the brand... mind you, they would be HOT on your feet. LOL

    Welcome aboard! Great choice on going with line officer.  A good thing to know about CosplaySky is that their HATS and BELTS are not 501st approved, so you will need get them somewhere else. It's  always a good idea to buy a  few extra yards/meters of matching fabric, that way  you  can have  a hat made.

    Greetings all, and Happy New Year!  :)

     

    First, a bit of history.  Many years ago, I was TK-4267.  About 3 years ago, I started losing weight but my waistline kept increasing.  I was finally diagnosed with gastroparesis and chronic gastritis after I went from an XL shirt-size to a 3X despite losing a lot of weight.  Needless to say, my TK and TD armor no longer fits, so I am now on 501st Reserve status.  :(

     

    I stayed on the periphery of the local group here, Lexington's Blue Sun Squad, but stopped attending events since I couldn't wear my armor.  At the premiere of "The Rise of Skywalker", I attended as a handler, and realized how much I've been missing by not trooping the past 3 years.  One of the very helpful Imperial Officers present (IC-90106  of the Old Line Garrison) referred me to this forum to get re-started in the 501st as an Imperial Staff Officer.  (Thank you, Robert!)  :)

     

    I'd love to return to Active status, and I'd like to start that by acquiring an Imperial Staff Officer uniform to wear at future 501st events.  I have absolutely zero sewing skills; I'm much more of a "wallet warrior" instead.  Plus, as you can tell, I'll definitely need the tunic and jodhpurs custom-sewn for me until I get my surgery sometime later this year.

     

    MANY humble thanks to all, and very best regards;
    TK-4267, MidSouth Garrison - Reserve status
