Just received word from the LMO office that this can proceed.  

submitted.  but they have yet to be stood up at the legion level.  I'll let you know when they are ready.

Understood. Thank you

alright, I will put the request in today, but the new LMO office is not yet ratified.  It maybe a little while till we get a response yet.

If you think we have enough references here I will contact the LMO office to come and take a look at the reference photos.

They will then have a vote and if they approve you can get started and we will assist you in writing the CRL.

@commanderWoufwouf are you good with that?

Tagging @chicken45

The real world uniform in the photo above is from Revenge of the Sith.  There are several photos of members with different ranks in the book Costuming A Galaxy.

I am not going to tell you how to do it or where to place the seams.  I could bring in several tailors to work with you to discuss it if you want.  This is the major issue with animated uniforms.  All these seams really break down the pattern into smaller parts.  If sized correctly the parts will make the uniform conform to your body in a fit manner.  That is how a well tailored uniform or suit is made.  They don't have this issue in animation because it is just an animation.  In the real world, without all of these seams, most cloth would look like a bag hanging off of a person.

That is why "darts" are used.  Darts are tucks sewed in uniforms to pull it in at the waist.  Not ever uniform has the, but they are seen in references of some officers.

That said, you do NOT have to follow the examples set by other animated CRLs.

Bring your references and when you inevitably have to make a decision you can't find on the model, let us know.  If it is a tailoring issue we will likely let it pass.  Because that is the reality of how translating animation to real life works.  Make your decisions and stick to your references as best you can and let us see what you are doing.

But FIRST.  Put all of your references here.  Once we have enough, let me know and I'll have the LMOs come in to bless this to proceed.  Then it is just a matter of you making the costume and we helping to write the CRL.

First off all thank you for your fast answer.
 
So you are suggesting that I do the front without the seams? Just asking so there are no misunderstandings? 
That's fine with me when the census is that the seams in the early animation are not pronounced enough. Could be harder to fit to a non animated body though. In the real world version you just send these are seams. What makes Sense for tailoring. It just doesn't have the extra fablic in the other side of the tunic that the animated references clearly shows. That's why I thought to make the line there a seam too.
 
Can I ask you what real world uniform this is? Never knew there was an actual model used in the millitary. Just knew the battlefront realistic take and thought that was based on the show.
 
Also it was not my Intention to discuss the accuracy of the CRLs I mentioned or If they needed to be changed. I'm sorry ich that was'n clear enough. They are just the closest CRL references I have and when I discovered a difference between the two I didn't know which one to follow.
Researching more I now just found even more differences when also comparing the tarkin CRL from that era. Maybe I should start a thread pointing out the differences I found in the other subforum because at the moment I am just mass confusion

After comparing the seams in the Republic medic CRL with the Republic officer CRL again, I noticed something. With the medic tunic the black detail band is not placed all the way to the edge of the Front 'flap'. The Republic Officer's tunic has it at the edge. 

 

I compared this to the show where it appears that the detail band is not at the edge. 

So I think I should go with the version more like Clone medic.
 
I addition to this I noticed some lines right over and under the detail band. 


 
I don't know if these are seams, ironed in or just due to the Animation. The Republic Officer has the one in the left side of the body as a seam.
 
 
 
I'd like to hear your opinions on these ones.

Hey everyone.
I am in the making of a clone naval officer and figured I should start a thread here in the early stages so everything will be to legion quality and standart. 
 
The republic clone naval officer is the clone variant of the green republic officer and comes in a grey color.
Note: They are not to confused with the black clone officers or the republic clone medics
Republic officer:

Beides the color, the rank bar is also different. I am not sure about the pants. They seem to be not entirely straight but also not as wide as the usual imperial officer ones. But this could just be the animation style. In the show their pants seem to be as wide as the republic officer ones 
 
I plan on basing this CRL on republic medic/formerly clone medic and the republic officer CRL mentioned above.

I agree with you that none of the current Republic officers are getting the details right.

HI ya Jace,
I like number 6 as well, being a  creator of gaming and anime costumes, fabric and its texture can become quite a pickle.
 
Wishing you all the best. 

can't wait to see

My Tailor and I will create this costume based on the republic officer CRL just in a different color now. We decided on the Fabric number 6 as it suits the overall texture the uniform should have the best.
 
I will post again when we have the first draft done.

Probably something else will come before that, but after today's Andor episode I realized that the governor could be a good match for me. Appearance, figure, beard, that would suit me. Just need a little white in the hair. 
 

There are a couple schools of thoughts on this.  There is the fabric texture that would most be like the republic officers wore in Revenge of the Sith.  Theirs is not as much as an diagonal weave like the officers of the Original Trilogy and the non saga series.

Then there is the school of thought that this is animated and since it is, fabric type is very much left up to interpretation.  Take a look at the two CRLS that are from this source and era, the clone wars animated series.

Does the fabric have to be like theirs (other than the color)?  Not necessarily, but in thought and design it should be the same uniform with color differences.  

Awesome to see, the CRL Model is a good friend from my Garrison
 
Good luck with your build

Hello. 
I Plan on making a clone trooper naval officer. If succesfull this will be a new CRL so I should probably also start a thread in that subforum?
 
Anyway here are some references:
https://imgur.com/a/zFgOzTj 
I have already found a tailor who will do this project with me. We plan to base it off the republic officer CRL and Clone Medic CRL with a few changes such as color. 
 
The fabric is probably a light to mid grey gabardine. What do you think about that and what are good places to order fabric from?
 
Thank you in advance.
