    Alright! Let's lock it and move on. Let's now talk TUNIC!
     
    Let's start with the text below - 
     
    Tunic, Olive
    Fabric is a medium weight Olive/Field grey colored suiting material matching the trousers (and hat, if present). Cavalry Twill or a Gabardine style weave is most accurate. The most accurate color is “Feldgrau", or “Field grey”, which is a greenish-gray color, close to Olive. Tunic is double-breasted with a left over right closure on the tapered yoke. Yoke comes up across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam. The standing collar has square corners, is between 1.25" (31.8 mm) to 2" tall, and closes snugly. The wearer's neck must not be visible between the closed collar edges. A modesty panel behind the collar closure is recommended to help with this, but is not required. Collar edges are closed together in front with two eye hooks. There are code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket, from about half way between the top and bottom on the arm hole. Tunic has long sleeves which are without decoration, cuffs or buttons. Tunic is constructed with no top-stitching (stitches visible on the exterior surface of fabric). Fasteners on the uniform should not be visible. Uniform is to be pressed and free of a wrinkled appearance. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
    A central seam runs down the back of the tunic, with no princess seams.

    Looking good @RobinKrennicDutch and @7959!
    I think we should look into getting some higher res screen grabs if possible. Also paying particular attention to anything that’s different to other officers. This will be to see if we can justify a unique CRL for Rampart, hopefully we can!
    Then we can start with the wording of the CRL text which members can discuss and refine before we create the ‘Finalising CRL Proposal’ thread.

    In that case, to keep this as ANIMATED as possible for now, and let's revisit the "should this be a separate CRL or v3" discussion once we have the texts all knocked out? We can then see how we feel.
     
    In the spirit of keeping this as ANIMATED as possible, I'd like to propose the following texts for the hat:
     
    Hat, Olive, Rebels-Style
    Hat is OPTIONAL but only if a specific referenced licensed character’s typical uniform configuration is copied in full, and does not typically include a hat. Fabric is a medium weight suiting material matching the pants and tunic if applicable. Cavalry Twill or a Gabardine style weave is most accurate. Base of the hat is conical, with a crown about 4 inches (101.6 mm) tall. Front and rear “flaps” overlap on the sides, with the back flap over the front, and are about 4 inches (101.6 mm) high. Front bill extends 3 inches down; there are no concentric stitches. Imperial Code Disk is positioned in the center of the front vertical "flap.”  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
    Code Disk exactly matches Rebels style disk  
    Thoughts?

    In the conversation it was mentioned that the no concentric circles could be level 2 or 3. But yea, we should keep these at basic if we are doing an animated version (either CRL or version 3) because it goes with what is shown in the animated series—there are no concentric circles on animated hats. And the disc matches the belt one too for animated series belt, so it’d be odd if someone mis-matches those. And taking these away you’re starting to erase the animated look.

    Hoda reacted to LindsayL in Finalizing CRL Proposal - Imperial Military Officer (Rebels)   
    I like this version 3 idea with the animated difference (hat, jodhpurs, etc). What Shadan says is fine too—for me separate CRL or version 3 is fine, but if folks want to put like a 7th fleet patch on a real world costume I think that should be fine to. 
     
    I’ll add that for me animated is different (or both same and different to be more precise) from real world versions—they have those slight differences to show they are specifically from the animated shows. I get that it’s a stylized version of real world costume, but to me that’s the point—we are creating the look that that stylized animated medium portrays, which is a streamlined, minimalistic version of live action. Just as creating a real world looking costume pays tribute to the costume design and characters in live action, creating a costume to look like how the costume is portrayed in the animated series pays tribute to the characters and animators/artists’ designs of the costumes. To say it’s just the animated style of real world costume erases the animated part and the animators/artists’ designs of the costumes imo. 
     
    We have an animated Pryce CRL already with some of those differences too, so that’s why I get the separate CRL idea, but the version 3 is fine to me too since one could say that was done because it’s not a face character, then add like the patch as optional accessory on all versions so everyone who does any version can have that if they want.

    That's a good point. 
     
    Hm speaking of which, before we get too far with this conversation ... a small but possibly worthwhile digression ...
     
    Instead of creating a "Rebels" officer CRL, what do we think about creating a third version for the newly created Imperial Military Officer?
     
    Here's the thinking - 
    The Imperial Military Officer CRL was recently created to allow members to provide members with flexibility when creating costumes. We call out in the text that the CRL was intended for "Star Wars, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian and Expanded Universe". This Rebels Officer CRL occurs around the same time period in the universe, the difference being these are "animated" and not "real life".  As it stands, a lot of our conversation is about leveraging almost the same language for the "Basic" level CRL, with level 2/3 being more animated. We are not creating a "face character".  SO, why not create just a "version 3" of the Imperial Military Officer CRL, with the third version focusing on Rebels style officer? This is exactly what was done for the Imperial Security Bureau Officer CRL (check out how different v1, v2, and v3 looks).
     
    For reference, these are the features that I think would make it into "v3", or the Rebels-style of the Imperial Military Officer - 
    Tunic: One seam down the middle on the back Hat: "Rebels-style" hat disk, no concentric circles on hat Belt: "Rebels-style" belt disk, no grooves,  Jodhpur: Pointed flares Rank Bar: Animated (Rank bar is one strip with four rounded corners NOT two separate bars as with OT rank bars; tiles are opaque.) We had proceeded down the path of creating a separate Rebels Officer CRL since this was started years ago ... but now that we have the Imperial Military Officer CRL, maybe this is another option?
     
    What are your thoughts on this? @buckrogersbarker @kman @shadan

    Do like this idea, my only concern is that it may appear a little confusuing to some people, particalarly when we already have other Rebels-specific CRLs.
     
    This is my opinion only (would be happy to hear from others!) but I look at the Officers in Rebels as being no different to those we've seen anywhere in terms of in-world canon.
    They appear different simply because of the medium used in this TV show.
    So I would suggest that if we do add another tab to the Imperial Military Officer (non-saga) CRL then this would remain a 'real-world' costume, meaning regular boots, tunic, jodphurs, rank badge etc, but with the addition of things like the 7th Fleet patch, markings on the hat and collar of the tunic.
    We could even potentially list these items as optional accessories rather than a tab.
     
    Then we proceed with this CRL here, keeping it a separate entry, with all the rebels-sepcific items like you've mentioned above. Noting the almost everything is different to 'real-world' items, this would make sense I think?
     
    This would give people a choice.
    They could go the fully stylised animated route, OR a costume that looks as though it comes from live-action.
     
    Just my thoughts but would like to hear from others.

    There's no *guaranteed* 501st-approved costume.  The key thing is has to fit you.
     
    Were you looking for the Original Trilogy Line Officer, or the more recent "non-saga" Military Officer version?  90% of them is the same (same hat, tunic, pants boots and belt that works for the non-saga can also work for the OT, with a little tweaking here at there), but the accessories differ a little.  Pay attention to the details on those accessories, because they're not interchangeable.

    There are vendors who sell costumes that comply with all 501st requirements, however... so as long as the costume you receive fits you well, it's unlikely you would not be approved with a costume from a vendor like that.
     
    WampaWear is likely a good option.  I'm not sure what shipping delays are like, right now, from the US to Israel.  But it's one of your best bets, since they have product in stock and ship out quickly.  (Again, though, they do not have custom sizes available, so you'll need to fit well into one of the standard sizes they stock, or perhaps have it altered by a local tailor once you get it.). Most other options will have delays while the costumes are made to order, and may or may not have longer lead times or be a lot more expensive.  (There is a low cost option but it's not nearly as good, and is always a gamble... and coming from China, significant delays are highly likely at this time, due to the Chinese New Year looming)
     
    WampaWear has the hat, tunic, jodhpurs and belts available and in stock.  You'll need to purchase the accessories elsewhere: a rank bar, code cylinders, and boots, at a minimum.  I always recommend PhiloProps for the code cylinders.  Bailey Builds is a great option for rank bars. 
     
    Boots are always a little tricky, though, and very dependent on your exact leg size and shape, and foot size.  If you can't fit some standard (somewhat smaller) shoe sizes and have slender legs, you may need custom.  All that said, it might be worth reaching out to your local garrison... they might have a line on some local vendors who could help a lot.

    Agreed! If speed is of the essence, off-the-shelf WampaWear is probably the quickest.

    https://wampawear.com/product-category/uniform/

    You can get hat, tunic, jodphurs, belt, all from the same place.

    You are going to need to get riding boots, rank bars, and code cyclinders though, don't think WW has those. Maybe take a look at this list to see if there are vendors easily accessible to you https://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1817-ioc-costume-resource-list/

    Also, have you made contacts with the Israel Outpost? There might be officers there who can point you to easy resources. https://m.facebook.com/102234044469886/

    I predate the CRLs.  I’m starting my 18th year in the Legion in January.  
    We made the best decisions with what we could see.  
    When I see the picture of this outstanding costume, we should be asking people to prove how it’s NOT accurate.  
    spoiler: they won’t be able to.  That makes it screen accurate.  The discussion should end right there since we aren’t going for “prop accuracy” like some of the amazing, but clinically insane (much love to you, Fetts!) Boba Fetts who track down original pieces and don’t use any reproduction pieces.  
     
    Look at the ANH costumes.  Those F451 things, etc.  
    The CRL can change.
    We aren’t lowering our standards.  Nobody out there in the general public gives a crap about princess seams and most of them don’t couldn’t even tell you what they are.  Approximately 98% of all non legion people I’ve asked over the years done even realize Vader’s costume was different in every movie.  You think potential seams barely visible not shown on screen on the back of a costume is what’s gonna hurt the credibility and reputation of the legion? 
    Not as much as this, quite frankly, “weird flex” attempt at elitist gate keeping.  
    Are we doing this for us, or for them? 
    Perfect is the enemy of good.

    Policy should not be justified behind closed doors.  It should be out in the open.  And I will do what I can to have these policies and decisions discussed put in the open.  Please bear with us.

    This is the reason I’m so offended by the lmo’s on this. They literally have no reason beyond “because we said so!” But saying “no this is fine” for others.

    Yes, it’s inconsistency like this that have so many of us so upset.
    If there were clear and defined rules and procedures that would be one thing, and I’m sure we would all accept that.
    (For those who argue that there MUST be 360° views, this is quite simply not the case. The very wording says that ideally there should be these views available, is does not say that they are a definitive requirement)
    But this doesn’t appear to be the case here. We see some costumes get through and others not.
    I’ve said it here before and I’ve said in the moan Legion boards, CRLs are continuously revised and updated over time. I’m literally part of the IOC CRL team doing that very thing now. We are talking about a fabric tunic which in all likelihood has nothing to see on that back than we’ve already seen. The very reason it hasn’t been seen is that there’s nothing to see. There is no hard armour, no backpack, no wings or fairylights there. It’s fabric. There might be an additional seam. And this is worst case. 
    If the CRL was green lit right now with the known sources, any future references could be easily incorporated into the text or images, if required.
    This happens literally all the time. We improve our CRLs when more information comes to light.

    Apologies for the delays in the final CRL website build, photo collection and preparation, but the full CRL was sent off to the LMO team for formal approval today.  If they require any changes to the proposed text, we will negotiate that, else as soon as they approve it, the CRL will go live.

    As a long time member I remember when the Omega RC joined the Legion, there was not a single visual reference, it was pretty much just like "Deltas but all black" and they got in. (at this moment we still don't have references of their backpacks)
    There are many costumes (mostly FSE and Spec Ops) that have been approved over the years and this one has, IMO (GML for 10+ years) all that is needed. (by far)
