I've been looking through the CRLs and I'm having trouble understanding what the differences between the R1 and OT line officer uniforms are.
I can tell the difference visually. R1 uniforms seem to be made of a slightly different material and the overall construction looks more sharp than the OT uniforms, but I don't see anything about these differences in the CRL.
So what are the primary basic level approval requirements for R1 uniform as opposed to an OT one?

Great! I assumed they might not be the most comfortable boots in the world. But that might be a fair tradeoff for the price point. My only concern is some of the reviews say it's tight around the calf, but I suppose I can always return them if they don't fit. Thank you!

I've been looking for some affordable boots for an Imperial line officer build and came across these on several equestrian sites.

I know that they are not approvable for higher levels since they're synthetic leather, but are they fine for basic?
-
Thank you!
Hmm, would it be cheaper to buy accurate code cylinders instead of having to buy all the supplies to modify the chalk holders?
-
Okay, thanks!
-
I found these chalk holders on Amazon. Are they approvable?
-
Great! Thanks!

I found these boots on eBay. They are a pretty decent price compared to other boots out there, but I'm not sure how accurate they are.

My first blaster was a converted Rubies toy E-11 I also have a 3D printed E-11 which was fun to build and surprisingly light
Yeah, I have an EVA foam one I made!

I don't have a 3D printer, but I have a friend who does!

Has anyone heard of someone using prothstetics for their Thrawn costume?
I've decided to do that and I was just wondering if anyone else had thought of it. It would make the make-up application a little easier.
-
Oh yeah! I've seen R2-D2 props on Etsy! I'm actually considering getting my rank bars from them.

I've been working on a mock-up, and It seems easier to just have the inner flap go halfway. It also makes it easier to make the code cylinder pocket. I'm doing a Rebels Thrawn, so I think I have a little more freedom with parts of the tunic that are unseen, since he's an animated character.
-
Thank you!
Does the inner flap go all the way across the chest, or just halfway?

What cloth should I use for the lining?
-
Okay, thanks!

I have some rudimentary sewing skills, so i'm a bit confused as to how the officer's tunic goes together. I figured out how most of it is made, but I am unsure about one thing.
How do you achieve this type of seam? Do you take two of the same piece, sew them together, then turn them right side out?
-
Thank You!

I agree, you can make some really convincing leather with EVA foam. Though I was thinking, the armor on characters in Rebels seems a bit "flexible". If you watch Agent Kallus or Sabine, you will see their armor stretch and shrink to allow movement that would be otherwise prohibited by their armor. It would be interesting to replicate that with EVA foam.
-
Great! I wasn't sure if EVA foam was allowed or not.
-
Great! Thanks!
-
What materials are acceptable for the shin armor on the Rebels Thrawn boots? Will vinyl or EVA foam work?

Thank you!
What's the difference between OT and R1 officers?

Okay, so there's no difference in the CRL between the uniforms themselves. Just the accessories.
I was asking because I am working on making my uniform at the moment and I was following the OT CRL specifications. But then I realized that you can accessorize the Non-saga version a bit more (i.e., trenchcoat, vertical belt boxes, dress shirt, poncho, ect.) So I just wanted to make sure there were no changes I would have to make to my pattern if I decided to aim for that costume instead.
