So I'm very interested in making my own officer uniform, are there patterns or instructions out there? I have sewists who are ready and willing to help me (I sew too!), we just need those and some recommendation on fabric/colors.
I also have a 3D printer, is there any 501st-approved accurate accessories I can print?
Hello,
I wouldn't recommend printing anything for your officer. For not a lot of money you can get proper metal bits that will look way better. Vetted vendors like Alay and Philoprops are who you want.
As for your fabrics you want medium or heavy gabardine, colors will depend on your costume. Black and white are easy, but for the line officer you want an olive drab color. Patterns can be found on the forums, just type the phrase "pattern" into the search bar and you'll find lots of threads. If you decide to buy a uniform I recommend wampa wear.
If you have anymore questions let me know!

since im planning to make my 501st costume which is a first order major officer i found this pin for the hat and was wondering if it's approvable? https://www.etsy.com/listing/468619714/star-wars-first-order-pin-palpatine-sith?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=first+order+pin&ref=sr_gallery-1-36&organic_search_click=1
In my opinion the quality doesn't look the best. Buy the pin from this guy, he's the best and guaranteed approvable!

Hello my friends, I am now about to order my officer, but the following "problem" arose:
I wanted to order the uniform from Mazcave from Italy, but the reference pictures do not look like the uniform of Admiral Piett, for example, but rather like the brown uniforms from Rebels, which were even responsible for the infantry and not for the fleet. And another question, so that I don't mess up anything:
According to the reference images in the CRL, would I have to apply for the Imperial Line Officer with the uniform of the officer like Piett wore it or the Imperial Captain from Season 2 episode 11 of The Mandalorian instead of the Republic/Imperial Fleet Officer? Because the uniform looks very different in the pictures, what the fleet officer should actually look like. But please correct me if I have misunderstood something.My alternative to ordering would still be Atelier Nestler, which I would have to contact first. In Cosplaysky, I have less confidence because of the IOC Forum.
If someone already owns a Mazcave uniform, I would be very pleased with his answer and I am of course very grateful for any other answer. I will also post the contribution to the IOC again so that I am safe.
Until then, long live the Empire!
I would look at wampawear as well, they make good uniforms!

Hello! This is my first attempt at a costume in 501st and I would like to request an advisor. My name is Nathaniel Wilkie, I am in Murfreesboro/Nashville TN USA, and I would like to make an Imperial Staff Officer (non-Saga) costume.
I have several of the accessories from Etsy that are 501st approved.
I mainly need help with the costume itself.
Thank you!
PM incoming!

The spirit of L2 approval is supposed to be "a step up from basic approval", as opposed to L3 being the "you look like you stepped off the screen" level, so L2 is not meant to be nearly as picky. As long as the applicant's rank bar (and code cylinders) met the L1 and L2 criteria I would not contradict what I just said above and I would approve the applicant with that particular configuration. However, I would strongly recommend to the applicant that they change up their rank bar/code cylinder configuration to one that is more closely aligned with what we've seen on actual staff officers, particularly if they wish to apply for L3 (where a film canon rank bar is required), and point them to the rank bar guide for further information.
This brings up something that should be on the list of potential CRL changes (if it's not already): making sure L3 rank bar criteria are consistent across all applicable CRLs (so ANH Staff Officer, Staff Officer (Non-Saga), Line Officer, and the now retired Staff Officer). Line Officer and Staff Officer already specify "Rank chosen must be referenced from film canon officers." ANH Staff Officer does not specify this, but it's not necessary as the L1 requirements already specify the four possible rank bars for this uniform. Staff Officer (Non-Saga) does not have any L3 requirement for the rank bar.
I'd like to see all these CRLs (except ANH I guess
) with consistent L3 criteria, and update it to state "rank chosen must be from LFL official sources" as opposed to "film canon officers", since we have a lot more LFL official sources than the five Empire-era movies to pull from (e.g. The Mandalorian, half a bazillion comics, oh and let's not open up the can of worms that is Rebels rank configurations 
). The rank bar guide I linked above also needs to be updated (and possibly referenced in the CRL itself if that's a thing we can do). It was last updated in 2017 so contains info from R1 and Solo, but not from The Mandalorian or any newer comics.
Thanks for the clarification! Can't wait to see these changes incorporated!

This all checks out for me! For the most part I like #2, it makes more general CRLS more flexible. I have one concern, for example, if someone applied for L2 with their staff officer, and they have for code cylinders and an admiral rank bar, would that be approvable for L2? It wouldn't be accurate.

Looks great!

Thank you for all the work you've put into the detachment!

Are the cylinders and bar from bluemilkprops on Etsy?

Happy new year everyone!

Crowprops on Facebook makes custom size boots for a good price. For the uniform you would need to find someone who makes uniforms, a few people on these forums make them.

CRL: Stretch panel on boots?
in The Officer's Lounge
Posted
To add to what Kman said, strech panels are also not level 2 or 3 approvable. If your wife plans to aim for higher approval, I would consider buying custom boots from someone like crowsprops. It would probably be cheaper than buying riding boots and having them altered, plus they will be more accurate!
