Hello,
I was interested in making a hux for my second costume but am not quite sure where to start to finding first order soft parts.
or possibly patterns.
If anyone has any recommendations on how to go about getting any of the pieces needed for the costume it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This is great!

One of the most common rank for security services officer is captain which is the 4 blue bars.
On the CRL they have a rank bar that is 5 blue bars instead of 4. That would also be a good option.

Glad it helped!

To be fair you'll note we almost never cite precise RAL or Pantone colors. Too much fodder for over-zealous GMLs.
That being said, there's usually considerably more officially-sourced reference photos or art. Are there... any? Even one? I don't think a CRL has ever been made exclusively from text descriptions.
I don’t think we have based off of just texts alone. I felt like it would be a good project/practice for future CRLs.
I will definitely take note on the color thing. I like how it leaves room for interpretation.
-
Because as far as I remember there is a range of olive colors that will be approved.
-
One thing I would recommend for the olive uniforms is if you plan in trooping with a certain unit a lot reaching out to them and asking what a lot of them have in case there is a lot of other members costuming as the same officer and y’all’s colors will match.

I don’t personally own, but I’ve heard it is before if I recall correctly.

Tailoring will reduce this issue but of course not remove it completely. What you can do and what is done by soldiers as well is pull the fabric to one side to have it covered by your arm or a holster. So, you will still have this problem but you concentrate it to a point where it isn't that noticeable and easily coverable.
Like as in using like safety pins to hold it or more of a just constant pull to the side?

When I get the novels in and start skimming through them we will know. Once I have all the info that I can find I will post which novel, pages and quotes I find in this thread.
I heard the first book was rough, but the other two where really good.

Not to disregard this, but just by going by descriptions the purpose of the CRL would be meh. As long as there is no 100% evidence how everything excatly looks it is tbh to much interpretation. what kind of red exactly? etc etc. It would have to be very accuratley written down in "this is RAL 43288238 whatever Red and is 5 inches long or so" tbh
That is a fair point. I will definitely consider that in future attempts at creating characters.
-
I love the progress on this!

I could always take pictures and measure my holster is someone really needed it.

So here is my proposed CRL for Admiral Gallius Rax. I mainly took the info from the Grand Admiral Legends, and the cape from Director Krenic and added them together.
In all fairness I do believe it is a long shot of getting the character approved being that there is no official media of him, but I feel it is worth a shot since he is a canon character with a uniform description:
“Rax wore a white uniform reminiscent of the Grand Admiral Uniform and a long Scarlet cape.”
“He wears the white of a grand admiral, somehow clean despite the filth of this world. A red cape swoops behind him, stirring dust.” Quote from Empires End.For those who don’t know he is from Chuck Wendigs Novels.
Description: Male, Dark Hair, Black Eye Color, and Pale skin Color.

Where did you see the part about the gray hair so it can be quoted?
