I haven't ordered from the new site, yet, but in testing it, it seems like you'd put in your measurements on the color change page, and submit only that.  (I just filled it in with random numbers and hit "add to cart," and it came up with only the $30 color change fee, not the additional custom fit fee).  
 
Having said that, I really recommend costume from CosplaySky/Cossky- unless you're super lucky and happen to fit one of their standard sizes exactly (I've seen it happen, but it's been rare).  It's worth it for $50, in my opinion (I did it for both my suits and they're great).  They always get the legs a bit off and the pants punch outs kind of big, but they're easy to fix.  I'm not overly familiar with the Grand Admiral stuff, but adding a note with correct measurements/specifications for the color wouldn't be a bad idea regardless of custom or not.  
 
Also, they have sales fairly often, so you can get at least some percentage off, which might take a chunk out of or even over shipping, or the color change fee, making the whole thing easier on the budget.

I've not ordered from either the old or new site, hopefully someone will advise shortly. Do they have any contact us info for you to ask them directly? I do know that making sure they have as many measurements as possible is important, even then they can sometimes get it wrong. I believe from other posts, the collar is a common thing for them to get wrong and that you need to be specific in getting them to adjust it to be 501st approved, which thinking about it might be part of what the $50 option is about.
 
Sorry I can't help more

It's amazingly accurate.  A tad smaller (about 8%), but sot so much that it's noticable unless you put it side by side with a full scale version.

Here's mine, pre-weathering:
 

 
Removing the clear cover is tricky (and don't glue it back with superglue or it will cloud up!) but if you get it done, you can use a WD40 straw to convincingly recreate the light tube from the original single point scopes they used.

Hello everyone,
 
Check out the trailer for a fan film that I was honoured to be part of and spread the word! I've seen the final cut already and it's great!:
 

Happy new year everyone!

HELLO FELLOW OFFICERS!! I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy new year!!

Thrawn salutes to no one  

Prior to Yavin there were Grand Moff and Grand Admiral ranks, although Moff is more Political than Military it seems.
We know that Thrawn is MIA and, with the destruction of the Death Star, Tarkin is KIA.  There also is the possibility that most of the rest of the Joint Chiefs were still aboard the Station, save for Tagge.
Thereby, Tagge would in theory be the highest ranking officer of the Military.  So, to me, it doesn't seem a stretch for The Emperor to create a new "Grand-grade" rank to reflect his Army status as opposed to granting him the rank of Grand Admiral or the title Grand Moff.
Just a thought of course

So excited . I love theses new Thrawn books. 

Hello Fellow Officers,
 
I thought that some of you would be interested to hear that the third book in the new Thrawn Series, titled Thrawn: Treason, has been announced. Check it out here: https://www.starwars.com/news/get-a-first-look-at-timothy-zahns-thrawn-treason-exclusive

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
 
For Everyone that doesn't observe Thanksgiving today, Have a Great Thursday in November!!!

Here are the Seventh Fleet patches. There's 4 inch ones and 3.5 inch ones. I think the 4 inch looks best for the left arm of the costume.

I would not say that the Empire was completely evil. There is no doubt that the leadership of the Empire was evil but overall I would say that the Empire was a force for good. On the flip side, I would not say that the rebellion was either completely good or evil. The regular men on the front lines of both sides of the conflict believed they were helping to bring about a better galaxy. The Republic was rife with corruption, piracy and myriad other crimes that the Senate ignored and the limited amount of republic peacekeepers couldn't handle. The Empire changed that and was cutting down on the crime syndicates that were rife during the republic. The average Imperial soldier signed up to bring order to a chaotic galaxy. Some probably signed up after seeing vids of rebel groups like Saw Guerrera blowing up dozens of civilians to kill one stormtrooper. Once again, I am not saying that the empire was wholly good but I would say that it was more good than bad. I would continue but I doubt anyone wants to read a five page essay on why I like the Empire.

Sounds like it will be a really cool show. I just hope that they will eventually release it on DVD for all those of us who don't have Disney plus.

Thanks for the info! I was heavily into Star Wars Legends (my first Star Wars book was Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn which got me hooked on Star Wars.) so it is taking me some time to get used to the new Canon. I will try to get up to speed as quickly as possible. Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to my question!

Ooh boy. Did I miss the boat on this or what? I loved the Han Solo movie, but did not like this uniform (which now has a CRL). Part of my dislike might be that it could be so easily mistaken for a Third Reich uniform (brown shirt, black skirt, etc.), especially if you’re separated from a group of iconic Star Wars costumes at DragonCon or something. If you have this costume, please ignore everything bad I have said and get down with yo Customs Officer self!
