Yeah, like the arguments between [you know who] and [that one guy] that prompts [you know who] to go see [the man] about it.

Same here-- not raining, just really cold! I was sad I didn't buy the leather gauntlet-gloves in preparation for the movie, my hands were so cold.

I went to the local theatres and, without even planning it, joined a cadre of other Star Wars cosplayers in taking pictures. I was wearing my unfinished Staff Officer uniform, and stood alongside a couple TKs and Jedis and the like.. Unfortunately didn't get a picture of my own, but will post it as soon as I inevitably find myself tagged on Facebook!
 
Here's my official, no-spoilers review of the movie:
 
It's good You should see it.  
I'm mostly excited by the variety of new CRLs the 501st will see from this movie: Death Troopers, Shore Troopers, Imperial Ground Crew, Imperial Armored Crew, Imperial Officer coats, Director Krennic, and a few others.

Well, they'd be cheaper than re-buying a 300$ pair of boots, but not by much. For the effort one might as well sell the boots and re-buy them for a little more, so that you at least have accurate zipper-less boots, like I was saying I'd do.

Jared did mention that his belt wasn't approvable in his post, he just bought it to wear at a Rogue One event. Had to get one in a hurry.

it was 15 years ago today that I married my best friend. Incredible how time goes bu so quickly. She is my best friend and my partner in all respects of my life. I do not know what I would do without her . She has always been there for me and certainly saved my life on more than one occasion. I love her dearly and am truly blessed. Now, if I could get her to put on a costume and join the 501st she would bring balance to the Force.

Heh.  Sorry, I've already sold the small ones (10), and had my replacements (11) stretched.  I'm all set.  Just need to find time to bring out my green screen and take my Level 3 photos...

First, order the updated version. That is 501st acceptable.
Second, provide all of the following measurements:
Star Wars Imperial Officer Black Garbardine Uniform Costume
Gender Male/Female
Height m
Weight kg
Chest cm
Waist cm
Private Message attached with the order(Other Measurements and specific requirements)

Hip: cm
Shoulder to Waist: cm
Arm Circumference: cm
Waist to knee: cm
Outseam: cm

It took a lot of back and forth to get this uniform to this point.

What a nice picture. A valuable possession now more than ever, given the unfortunate occurrence.

I was fortunate enough to meet Carrie Fisher (and her little dog too!) in 2015 at Tampa Bay Comic Con. May the Force always be with her...

Carrie Fisher (Actress for Princess/General Leia Organa) has passed at the age of 60.
 
Fisher suffered a traumatic heart attack on December 23rd, after which EMTs could not resuscitate her for over 15 minutes. She was taken into emergency services and it was announced that she had been stabilized, confirmed by a family member. Today, on December 27th, Fisher passed on at 8:55 AM, as confirmed by her daughter.
 
We will remember the Princess fondly, just as fondly (if not more-so) than the sadly-growing list of familiar faces that have blessed the silver screen to bring us the great creation we know as Star Wars.

For the price, they're really stylish boots! And that makes me suspicious, surely they'll arrive and fall apart at the seams 
 
As the others said, they're not approvable. They're a good example of how close one can get to the source boots and be off on just a few details-- such as the zipper/seam combo on these boots, for example. 

Happy Life Day!

There have been reports of a large Rogue dressed in red and white flying in a pod-like vehicle powered by what appears to 8 Tauntaun-like creatures. Orders are to detain and hold for questioning as he may be a Rebel sympathizer trying to deliver secret messages of goodwill to those who would plot against us. Beware as he may have Force abilities that could convince you to release and send him on his merry way.
 
Happy Holidays to all! 

Happy Holidays from the Philippine Garrison!
 
 

Happy Holidays!!

God jul!

The fabric is right.  I've handled an  original costume (many years ago) and I just received my Anovos Premium Hat.  The actual uniforms were made of a fabric known as "cavalry twill."  It's a kind of double knit fabric.  It has some stretch to it.  It is pretty thick, which gives it a lot of body and makes it very durable, but makes it rather warm. The Anovos cap is a nice cavalry twill (or something very close).  Gaberdine is a reasonable substitute, properly interfaced. 

Well hello IOC family.... I would like to ask you all for a favor and help put a smile on a 6 year old with Leukemia.
 
I had the pleasure of meeting young Declan on my first troop with my Garrison. He is a special little man. Even though he had a fever and was being given IV antibiotics treatment, he found the strength to come and see us. Declan has always wanted to be a Stormtooper and my fellow Garrison members have been visiting him prior to my first troop.
 
Things are not as good as we all would have hoped and it seems that he will be having another round of chemo and possible transplant. They have given him 15% chance of recovery which is not the best, but it's better then 0%.
 
The thing about Declan is that he truly believes in Star Wars. He thinks that we are all from various planets or outpost around the galaxy and have been stationed on Earth. We have asked members of the 501st to go to his FaceBook page and post messaged or photos in your costumes. It's such a simple thing to do and I know that it brings him joy.  Link enclosed:
 
https://www.facebook.com/DclanSpecialOps/
 
You can send you message via private message to the admin on his facebook page so it can be added as a transmission or you can post it on the visitors section. Declan reads And sees both. Be creative if you can. 
 
I ended up going to my dispatch center and with the assistance of one of my managers did a quick photo shoot.

Thank you!!

Looks sharp!

Howdy! I am excited to tell everyone that I used my Imperial Staff Office uniform for the first time this past Friday for the Rogue One premiere. I got my uniform from Magnoli Clothiers. I am still missing the belt and the gloves. I have to adjust the trousers and the jacket for a better fit. Hopefully, I can join the 501st soon!

Eh.  FO TK's and Captain Phasma get plenty of love.  If you mean the FO officers - blame that on Disney and LFL.  EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE. save the outdoors wideangle one with officers is so freaking dark we've been taking forever to pick out details.  Add to it the VD only had a front or a side view of most of them, and it's been a real struggle to make them - sadly they'll probably hold until Episode 8.

It's almost like either the FO forgot to pay the light bill, or Krylo.. I mean, Kylo thought it was cool for it to be dark.
