I think accurate is foam star for ANH, hard hat liner for ROTJ... I think it was star for ESB. I've got one with the liner from a batting helmet, and a couple with foam stars... I tend to prefer the foam.

Welcome aboard!

Mazcave I believe is still taking orders outside of etsy, and Denuo Novo is an option if they have your size.
-
Another possibility as I recall, Wampawear sells fabric by the yard as well, so you could always get fabric and make a more accurate hat, if you need a hat to match the uniform but aren't fond of the pre-made hats.

In my case, I'm a 34 and the medium waist is just a little loose on me. Will probably use suspenders under the tunic.

Meero and Partagaz look to have the same coat to me, albeit he's got it closed left over right VS Meero's right over left. I think the appearance of the collar is an optical illusion. The material and stitching appear the same. I think the difference in appearance is more down to the difference in physical footprint of the two people, along with the fact that the major appears to have his collar flipped up. I think if Merro flipped her collar up, hers would look the same, or if Partagaz laid his down, he would match hers. Also, it's clear in a couple of those pics that she has gathered excess fabric of the coat, particularly on the sides, using her belt to keep things in place for a more tailored look.
My money would be on the same jacket, just worn differently by different people and different body types.

Yes, the pants are in stock indeed. The pair I had ordered from Anovos yearssssss ago showed up unannounced yesterday courtesy of Denuo Novo. Olives are on the way.

I think I made that original color comparison post. I've got a set of the new olive tunic and pants coming. I could compare to the old Anovos if there's interest. I've got a DN black uniform as well. While I don't have a black Anovos, the fabric looks pretty much the same as the one or two black Anovos ones I saw years ago. Pretty sure they would work just fine together.

It's not too hard to add a modesty panel. I added one to my Anovos, and am planning on adding one to my Denuo Novo. I have to hand sew, as I'm not really conversant with a sewing machine. Just find fabric as close a match as possible, and make a little panel to sew in. Or if you're feeling fancy use snaps so you can remove it depending on version you feel like using. I'm pretty sure there was a discussion about Piett's panel quite some time ago, and I think the consensus was that it was just a mistake (I. E. accidentally folded back or some such) therefore the option to not have it was not included in the crl. But I could be misremembering...

I've got an Anovos olive green in medium, as well as Denuo Nove mediums in black and white. I found the Anovos medium pants waaay oversized compared to the size chart. I had to have the waist taken in considerably. Haven't gotten the Denuo Novo pants yet, so can't comment on it yet, but I'm hopeful that it will be more true to the size chart. I'd say the olive Anovos medium and the black denuo novo are fairly close in construction, sizing and material, with perhaps a slight edge to Denuo Novo in trueness of size viz a vie the size chart. It 's been a lot of years, but I seem to remember having to have the Anovos jacket tailored as well. Sleeves were too long for me on both jackets. The white jacket however fits quite differently than the black, not as good in my opinion, particularly in the shoulder area, and the material is different. It wrinkles if you just look at it. Hat sizing also seems to be a bit more true to the sizing chart than the Anovos.

Not to worry, my ladyfriend here who is about 5'3 is wearing my Moncal "larger size", and it works fine. Albeit I did adjust the shape a bit from stock to better match the shape of ANH/ESB helmets. The new "larger" Moncal helmets are a vast improvement over the older version 1 "smaller" helmets. I have both, and the original "small" just has a lot of problems with its angles, the depth of the main bowl, etc., resulting in that odd "bobsled helmet" shape" when viewed from the side. The newer version corrects some of these issues, though still not perfectly. As mentioned however, the "larger" version is the one used for the current movies, and according to Moncal, will also be used for any media going forward, so you really can't get much more screen - accurate than that.

While I don't have the Premier line, I've got the standard line Anovos, and the new denuo novo. I made a post comparing the two. They're pretty much identical, sans the color of the denuo being a slight bit darker. In some ways the denuo is better, as it seems to have some interfacing in parts of the body which helps it keep its shape better than the old Anovos. The photos on their website definitely don't do their product any favors though.
A competent tailor could probably take care of the liner issue for you without too much trouble. Also, you might consider having any of the folks here who make hats have a go at fixing it, as they have experience with construction of these things from the ground up.

On the plus side, rather than just decoration, you could always use it for scanning or bridge crew, ISB, TIE reserve, etc!

I'm in the main photo of all of us, the one with just navy troopers, and I think one more. We also had a goofy one. I was the only one in navy trooper dress (tunic) uniform.
Sent you some that fit your description. Don't think I caught the goofy one, unfortunately.

Note how the DH-17 is holstered on his right side, meaning there's no magwell.
So the DH-17 (like the E-11 and the SE-14R) are completely new props, different from the R1/Mandalorian blasters.
Thank goodness.

What part were you in? I have some of the costume subgroup shots. If you're in one I can send it to you if it'll help.

Nice to see Navy Troopers making a comeback! Several guarding the bridge of Vader's Star Destroyer. Looks to me like they might have followed the ESB model-black officer's uniform (jodphurs, but hard to tell if it's an ANH style tunic or not) ,no belt boxes (at least on the prominent one) and appears to have a DH-17 in the holster. Interesting mix of versions.
Edit: actually I see belt boxes now, but they seem unusually subdued. I suppose it COULD be the lighting but it's odd that the buckle is clear and the boxes aren't.

They are as far as I have seen, more or less the same as Anovos, so you should be fine. My Anovos was approved without any issue. I'm planning to get a Denuo Novo black version to replace my aging black uniform. I expect there won't be any issues getting approved. Just be sure it is well-tailored.

Ahhh.. Bummer, I don't arrive til Wednesday, and I missed the window to upgrade my 2020 Afterdark pass to the new date. Ah well...

I've been looking at the various threads, but so far haven't found any info. Is there going to be an IOC after hours mixer as in Celebrations past? If so is there a thread on it with time and location?

Surely you mean, "where she's at-at the moment," right?
Sorry, couldn't resist!
