Correct, the parts hidden by the tunic or tucked into the boots are irrelevant and can be finished however you'd like.
I'd definitely recommend stirrups at the ends of the legs, which help a LOT when you're stuffing them into tall boots. And I'm a huge fan of combining that with suspenders/braces to keep your pants nice and tidy throughout a long troop.
The biggest issue tends to be VISIBLE pockets, especially if the tunic is on the shorter side, which is common with certain vendors. I can show you a collection of visible rear pocket flaps that we've had to deny. Pockets that are completely hidden are no problem at all.
Big fan of suspenders myself when it comes to judhpurs or pants on officer.

Hessen Antique is really good. And should be just fine

From what I have read, the officer uniforms are ideally made with cavalry twill. However, that can be difficult to source, and the next best thing is gabardine, which is more common. Whatever fabric is used, it should be consistent between the hat, tunic, and pants.
Yes, cav cotton twill or gabardine twill. Cavalry is better

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I wasn't referring to purchasing the pieces from a tailor, moreso just going to one for professional measurements, purchasing from Novo according to tailor measurements and then getting them more precisely fitted/altered if necessary by tailor once I get the pieces from Novo.
Yes, get proper measurements so you wont get wrong size

How relevant would you say it is to get myself measured by tailor prior to purchasing pieces?
If tailor: Find one who offer the right color and twill.. You can get Clothears or MazCove. Bit waiting time and pricey. But worth it

Hey guys, apologies if this is the wrong way to go about pursuing this information, as I am very new to this forum and trying to learn my way around it
With that being said, I have decided to do the link below as my first 501st Legion costume, and am wanting to know any tips, tricks & general advice that you might have for me, as I'm trying to figure out the best way to get started with this endeavor
may the force be with you & long live the empire!!

Wampa Wear or Denuo Novo would be a great start to try out.

To me personally, it's looks like royal blue cotton twill. I found one, but forgot to take a picture. Will try to remember that next time.

Thanks for the help. I figured the price points and on-going tariff situation might hinder things a bit.
I'm assuming messaging Jim Tripon on his Instagram regarding interest in a uniform set would be the best way to contact him?Use Facebook. He is quick on response
Looking to build an ISB officer uniform

Hi.
I don't know that vendor nor quality. But I do know Jim Tripon however. But it might work.
