I bought a second belt from a squadmate as a backup for my own belt, but this one has several holes like a regular belt does instead of just the one for my size.
 
Is there any way I can fill them? It doesn't matter if it doesn't match the color, I have black leather paint.

Yes, I agree, belts are quite easy to make, and then you can even customize them.  The buckles are the only parts that can sometimes be hard to source, depending on where you live.  A basic 2" black strip of leather is quite simple.  My reference to Denuo Novo was just pointing out that one of the largest manufactures makes their belts with holes like a regular belt, and I have yet to see their stuff kicked back.  (Nor have I denied their belts, as a GML)

I first met the 501s on December 1st, 2018 during a local expo. During this time I have changed costumes (originally a Royal Guard), gone through something like 3 flight suits due to gaining weight during the pandemic and bought another 3 pairs of boots on a shopping spree that would end up not meeting the CRL standards.
 
But finally, on the morning of November 11th, 2023, I received my approval!
 

Thank you everyone, I'm so excited to be here!
 
Fortunately I live near a town with a large leather & shoemaking industry so I was able to get these custom-sized from a local vendor who had previously worked making costumes for film productions. The sole is a bit thin, but for 1200 mexican pesos (about 70 dollars) I'd say I got a good deal.

I think the cosplaysky tunic and pants match the crl, but in terms of fit and sizing you might need to get it tailored to fit you.

I used Chelsea type boots with the gators (shins) over the top. Have a look at the CRL for this costume.

Hope this helps.

Robert has it.  The original script didn't have any specific historical inspiration.  He was just an officer doing his job (well, much to the dismay of the Rebels).
 
Books (written much, much later) made up entire back stories for darned near every character you seen on screen, and it's entirely possible that one or more of those authors used historical figures as inspiration.  The extensive ret-conning of facts and dates got pretty intricate, and people wanting to go in new directions were feeling hemmed in, creatively, which is one of the main reasons they decided to reboot the whole thing and dump all the books as "Legends", declaring the whole mess no longer Canon.  There's a rich source of stories in there, of course, so it's nice when someone dips into those no-longer-Canon sources and bring aspects back into the Canon realm.  (Thrawn, for instance... and I still have hope for Mara Jade!)

Hi everyone,I'm aware this might not be the best place to post this and might be a little too controversial,feel free to delete it if you believe so,but I just wanted to share some thoughts I had about the matter which came to me a few days ago after rewatching ESB and I would like to know yours as well.I'm a big military history buff ever since I have a memory and my favorite period is WWII,one of the characters in history that I'm the most interested about is Erwin Rommel,a german general nicknamed as the "Desert Fox" by the British for his ingenious tactics with armored units during his campaign in Africa.I might not be the first one to find the similarities and possibly some authors that expanded Veers' story noticed them to.These are the things I found in common between these two men:
 
-Background: Both men came from humble origins,Veers came from a working-class family and Rommel was the son of a teacher.
 
-Family: According to wookiepedia,Veers was a family man and was devastated when his son defected to the rebels.Rommel was very caring towards his family,he would send letters to his wife daily and had a happy marriage and discouraged his son from joining the army.
 
-Rise through the ranks:Veers roose through the ranks for his courage in battle as well as his fast thinking and cunning tactics,he was also closely involved with Vader who recognized his talent in armored warfare,which led to his assignment to Vader's Death Squadron. Rommel earned a reputation in WWI as a lieutenant and defeated his enemies with his ingenious tactics,on one occasion capturing 9000 enemy soldiers with only 150 men, during the interwar period he developed a close relationship with Hitler and became the commander of his security detail.
 
-Units commanded: Both of them made their reputation commanding armored units (AT-ATs and Panzers respectively).
 
-Leading from the front: Both led his troops from the front,as they believed this allowed them to see the battle with more detail,which also served as a morale booster.Both of them were wounded many times during their service,but this did little to none to discourage them.
 
-Reputation: Rommel was held in high regard by friend and foe alike for his effectiveness and,although not explicitly stated,we can assume that the rebels respected Veers as a brilliant strategist too.
 
-Uniform and appearance:You can't tell me that watching Veers decimate rebel troops from the cockpit of an AT-AT isn't similar to Rommel on the turret of a Panzer,not to mention that both had similar uniforms,specially their goggles.
 
-Virtues:Both men were calm and focused during the battle.Rommel is remembered as a man who respected his POWs with dignity,and his famous goggles were actually a gift from a British POW for retrieving his hat after a german soldier took it.
 
-Fate: In Legends,Veers was disgraced after the Battle of Hoth and his son's defection,demoted and sent on a suicide mission.Rommel was forced to commit suicide after being accused of being involved in the 20 July plot to assassiate Hitler.
 
-Regimes they served: The Galactic Empire and Nazi Germany have many similarities that I need not mention,it is unknown to what degree was Veers involved in the atrocities of the Empire.Rommel's role in the Holocaust is still debated between historians
 
-Relation with their troops:Like I said before,both of them led from the front putting themselves in the same danger as their troops,this kept morale very high among their troops despite the harsh environments they fought in (North Africa and Hoth) and were both used as propaganda tools.
 
-Terrain: Both fought in harsh conditions but achieved significant victories nonetheless,Veers in the ice of Hoth and Rommel in the deserts of North Africa.
 
-Possible inspiration: Lucas is a great history nerd too,and he took many inspirations from history,for example the Galactic Civil War is inspired by the Vietnam War,so it is possible that he was thinking of Rommel while writing the scropt for ESB and/or Julian Glover grew up hearing stories of the Desert Fox.
 
Keep in mind that I did a little bit of speculation in some parts,so I encourage you to look more into the resemblances between these two men and their individual stories.I personally am a great fan of Veers.

Sounds good! Keep us updated.

Yes thats all you need for approval!

Also I would reach out to him on facebook rather then his website!

For the hat, I would but one unless your good at sewing! But if your up for the challenge im sure there is a guide on the forum! 
For the boots Crowsprops makes jackboots and ships almost anywhere. I use his officer boots!
