I suppose it's the usual GML E-Mail address where we should send them, but I'll wait for an official answer.

Any news?

Any news?

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.





 
 
 

No one is blocking anything, but like all CRLs discussions take place with all variables mentioned and people have many reasons for their views, some feel easy cheap is not for the 501st some disagree. Those that say lazy are saying it because they feel that this costume will become the norm because its easier to source items, are they correct? They believe they are, the 501st is a huge club not everyone is going to think the same

The uniform was seen on screen, so by the rules of the 501st we can replicate it, create a CRL and wear it, it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter if anyone thinks that this uniform doesn't fit into the type of the classical Officers.
Just because someone wants to wear this uniform doesn't mean this person is lazy or wants to make something cheap. A good high quality Officer uniform is always far away from being cheap, no matter which style.

I do not think that the possibility of a few people being too lazy to look for riding boots should stop us from making the Service Dress Uniform CRL or to include this uniform in the already existing Staff Officer CRL or Line Officer CRL, depending on what we will do in the end. Why should we punish the people that would like to wear an officer, but cannot find riding boots or jackboots in their sizes because of a possibility? Nobody shoots their dog because there is a possibility that it will get cancer or rabies.
 
If I could wear riding boots I would. I wear jackboots that are 4 sizes too big for me with 4 pairs of insoles, 2 pairs of thick socks and an added piece of leather so that I can wear my bridge crew. I am pretty sure that other people also try to do everything they can to wear a costume that they like. Unfortunately, that is not always possible.
 
There are 2734 officers in the 501st Legion, but only 12 of them are Imperial Science Officers and that CRL has been up for a while. There are also only 137 Warrant Officers and 143 Imperial Security Bureau Officers. The majority of our officers wear uniforms with riding boots even though that there are CRLs without them available. Why should that suddenly change just because we add another option to our CRLs? I'm pretty sure that most people will continue to buy riding boots. They are just too iconic.
 

Different points of view I guess.
 
I'm seeing it as the perfect con suit, the "I've been trooping all morning and I'm tired, but I want to be suited up in something comfortable to do table duty" Chelsea boots are more comfortable then jack boots, I'm sure most of us will agree to that 
 
Would I tell someone just looking to join the legion to do this costume first right off the bat? No.
Would I tell someone just looking to join the legion to do this costume first if they want to be an officer but they're struggling to find the boots, and I mean really struggling not "I spent an hour on ebay and couldn't find anything less then $50" struggling - yes
 
Right now anyone can join the legion as a Science Officer, how would joining in this Service Dress be any different (other then having more options on rank bars and not just the 1)?

That's what I did for mine. I found a very cheap suit black pants that match the fabric with CS's at a local store, and a pair of leather chelsea boots at Zara.
 
I'm looking forward to get this CRL alive very soon, as my Garrison only allows costumes with CRL for all kind of missions.

Don't know why not, if we have an ANH ISB and R1 in the same CRL with the tab system. But it was just a digression, it was not my intention to pose it formally as a possible change.

@Hux, I really appreciate your positive comments and the arguments that accompany your decisions, it really helps to look for ways and solutions to get things out ahead of a simple 'no'. For novices like me it helps a lot to understand veterans opinions.

No worries we all want it to happen!  

Aye it's absolutely a fair assumption
 
 
But now that the movie is out maybe we can double check before proceeding
 
This one I think most the detachment is happy with proceeding on. We have had a few Solo costumes held up because we wanted to wait for the movie in both legions ^.- 
 
so, anyone see anything clearer at this point?

Although the sceencaps aren't perfect, I think the only thing we really needed to confirm were the boots and the type of tunic used, correct?
 
From Dawn's screencaps, middle photo, we can see they're wearing Chelsea boots, so should be good there.
 
From Dawn's first photo we're able to see on the Staff Officer's right shoulder the tunic edge just lifts up a little, so there is confirmation of the tunic style worn.
 
We also know the belt boxes and belt remain the same from R1, and we can see them elsewhere.  And we can see that these dress pants don't have the flares.  Also, obviously, they aren't wearing a hat.  
 
Hence, I don' t think we're making a leap of faith or anything... I think we can actually make a pretty good case that we can account for the wardrobe parts being worn.
 
And I think we can also confirm that this Service Dress would be for both Line and Staff (and technically can make for ISB too since we already have it under the ISB as an approved outfit).
 

Well, here it goes then...

Well, here it goes then...

Considering the new ISB CRL that just went live, and their use of the tab system, I would imagine something like that would be applicable here, as well.

I will have to wait till September 30th for the BluRay  But yeah, can't wait to see this costume comes true

BTW, September 25th it's my birthday

Awesome!

Thank you Hask, love both of them

Some extra references from TLJ visual dictionary:
 

 
Actually, the suit looks equals to the new gunner and shuttle pilot:
 

 
 

I'm interested on this information too.
For example I wanna make the 'Army Operations Officer', but I don't know if someone is already working on it, or if we don't have enough information for a CRL, etc...
 
 

Hello.
 
I know about 8-12 of us have been bouncing back and forth, across multiple threads, with proposals, and CRL ideas for update and fixes, and sometimes we're being told it's being worked on, and sometimes we're told it won't fly, and sometimes we're told nothing.
 
I'm not one to dig too far into all the who does what, but would it be possible to confirm some information?
 
IIRC, the LMOs (and sorry, I'm not even sure what that stands for nor what they do) are the ones who update and create CRLs.
 
For the sake of my ignorance, and others who may be in the same boat, could someone explain, or point me to where if this already exists, the process of seeing movement on either an existing CRL, or creation of a new one?
 
If possible, could we be provided a map of what CRLs are known to have errors or need updates, and which are in the works for creation?
 
I just feel like if we had a road map of sorts, that would help a lot.  Thinking back to the beginning of 2018, I believe we've seen the introduction of the 451s and an update to the ISB Agent.
 
Seems like there are just a ton more to do and work on, and I'm curious how it's going or if folks are just too burned out or over loaded or maybe a ton is being worked on behind the scenes and we just don't know or see it.
 
Please do not read into this.  I'm not bashing anyone or saying anything negative.  I'm truly not sure of the process and just trying to understand it, as well as wondering if a few of us that are vocal can help in any way?

In the least, a road map or chart would be excellent!  If one doesn't exist, maybe someone with authority can give the green light for a few of us to help create one, or something?
 
Thoughts?
