Hello Guys
I would like to take on the republic naval officer from clone wars season 7.
I know that there is another proposal with a similar character/costume but there are some differences I would like to point out.
The other naval officer has a blue/lightgrey fabric (from my point of view) - my naval officer has a stone/mid grey fabric.
The other naval officer wears not always a hat - mine does.
The other naval officer has no patches attached on the upper sleeves - mine does.
There maybe more differnces
I'd prefer to talk about some issues concerning the pattern, fabric etc. before I start to buy the materials and send them to my tailor with the instructions, if that works for you as well.
There are some things wich I noticed that are important and need your opinion/verdict.
- The fabric should be a stone/mid grey gabardine/cavarly twill fabric. Hat, tunic and trousers should be made of the same fabric.
There is a code disc attached on the hat made of three different sized discs.
- They are wearing a classic imperial OT style hat but with a sort of a strap attached upon the visor but made of the same fabric.
- The collar closure should be left over right just like the collar closure of my other republic officer from clone wars.
- The rank is made in the same style as the one from my other republic officer (clone wars) but with a single bar and three red or blue tiles or one blue and two red tiles.
- They are wearing rectangular shoulder boards (just like the republic officer - clone wars).
- There is a black piping made of black satin sewn on the tunic (just like the republic officer - clone wars).
- They are wearing patches of the grand army of the republic on every upper sleeve.
- Here comes the tricky part. I think the middle part of the front and the back of the tunic are seperated and slightly lifted in a similar way as they did with the special black ANH tunic. If so it would easier to make, not just for me but also for other members.
The lower right part of the piping sits right on the edge of the lifted middle part, where the upper left part of the piping sits a few inches/cm to the right of the edge from the lifted middle part.
- For me it looks like the lifted part runs all over the tunic from the shoulders to the bottom just like it does with the ANH tunic.
- The closure should be on the left side of the tunic.
- The back of the tunic has one seam that runs in the center of the tunic from the neck to the bottom.
- There is a vent that runs from belt height to the bottom on the back of the tunic.
- Sleeves should contain 2 seams, one in front and one in back for a better practicability.
- There are two rank-bands of black satin ribbon on both sleeves.
- The belt is constructed from a non-textured leather or a leather-like material and is approximately 2" (51 mm) wide.
There are no loops on the belt. The buckle has rounded corners and constructed from a horizontally brushed metal, or metal looking material.
- The Code disk is a stepped cone shape appearing to be 3 discs stacked on top of one another. • The larger disc is 1.4 inch (3.5 cm), the second disc is 1 inch (2.5 cm). And the thrid disc is a half inch (1.25 cm).
- The trousers are tucked into the boots but don't have flares at the hip area. They are straight and show a confortable/slim fit.
- The boots are knee high black riding boots with clone wars style cuffs on the shafts made of black leather.
- They wear black leather gloves.
I hope I didn't forget anything. What do you think?

I have to set my Vice Admiral Rampart proposal down due to money and time reasons.
Please feel free to continue with an other member to bring Rampart to the CRL!

Here is a better pic of his back.

Hello Guys
I took new screenshots of Vice Admiral Rampart. I will start with a CRL draft in the next days.

I would say the round circles you're seeing on the left side of the buckle are simply the belt holes which are present on many imperial belts, exaggerated a bit for artistic effect. I don't think they're intended to be actual rivets.
I think so too, it would make it a bit easier.

Hello Everyone
I would like to take on the admiral rampart CRL. I took some screenshots from the third episode of the bad batch.
This is a first look, an first estimation. I think we we need more refernce material from the upcoming episodes.
There are some details wich are important in my eyes.
light brown/blond hair
a white shirt under the tunic
The code cylinders have flat sliver clips.
The silver plate of his rank bar has round edges and the blue/red tiles are square shaped and in another scene they are rectangular shaped.
His trousers are not flared out, they show a tight/comfortable fit.
The middle part of his tunic is longer than the rest and stands out from the rest of the jacket.
It reminds me a little bit on the ANH style tunic.
I looks like there are no seams on the back of the tunic.
He wears normal knee high riding boots without the cuff at the top of the shaft, like Tarkin or the republic officers from clone wars.
But I am not shure if there is sort of an adjustment strap at the top of the shaft
On his belt buckle is a code disc with two discs, one larger rivet at the left side of the buckle and three smaller rivets at the right side.
I also have a fabric example from "EmpiresFabric" on etsy.

Yes it is. There is no better pic at all.

What about this pic?
-
I know how this game works, but I have mentioned before that there are not much reference pictures in the comics at all and I own all of them. So should I give up if I can not find better reference pictures?

Hi! Right now, (in conjunction with the LMOs) we aren't satisfied with the references of the back.
It seems like they're of several different characters in their inconsistency.
You're welcome to keep looking for better references, but I would advise against proceeding with the costume.
- Jeff
I would like to find a compromise with the lmo team. I know that it looks like the uniforms on the reference pictures are two different uniforms but I think the artists meant them as one and the same uniform.

Hi Jeff
I‘m afraid, there are no better reference pictures. Most of the uniforms wich you can see are not detailed enough. Can I discuss that with the LMO myself?
I hope we can find a solution.

The go ahead for this costume to become a CRL is being discussed, it has not been decided yet.
Can you tell me when I can continue with this costume?

Hello Kris
I have added some changes to the CRL draft. Please take a look and tell me if it is okay. The reference pictures up there are the only useful pics I could get from the comics.

I have asked this question before and I didn’t get an answer. I want to know if the chest and shoulder section is okay the way I have explained it? And the number of seams wich are running over the tunic, back and front?
I don’t want to go to my tailor a second time, because a detail is not correct. That’s why I am asking these questions.
-
I know how it works, I just want to be sure about the chest section before my tailor starts with the work.

Thank you for your inputs guys!
Unfortunately there are no better reference pictures in the comics, but I‘ll take a closer look again.
About the the hat, I guess that it is just traditional OT style hat. But again I‘m going to take a look again. I own every Legacy comic book.
About the chest panel, if I‘ve understood you correctly, it should be a separate part, made of the same fabric of course. But is it correct if I go with the number of stitches and how long they are, like I‘ve mentioned it before?
I don‘t think, that there are better reference pics in the comics, as far as I can remember. I think that the discs on the collar are the same code discs, like those on the hats.
@kman Do you really think that more reference pics are needed for the imperial logo in the middle of the chest panel? Just asking

Hello Guys
I would like to start my next first in the Legion costume but I have some questions, before my tailor can start with the work.
1st. Is the fabric color RAL 7009 (fourth picture) okay?
2nd. The way I see it, there should be two imperial code discs on the front side of the collar. One on the left side and one on the right side of the closure?
3rd. There should be two stitches on the left and the right side of the tunic. Wich start at the top of the shoulder and end at the belt seam. There should be another seam in the middle of the tunic, wich starts at breast hight and ends at the belt seam?
4th. There should be a seam wich goes horizontal over the tunic at breast hight.
5th. The costume contains a traditional imperial officer hat, jodhpur riding breeches, black riding boots, a horizontal rank badge and an imperial logo patch in the middle of the breast section?
