[(Boots) Help Me Imperial Officers, You're My Only Hope...]

$280 for used boots does sound a bit steep to me.

[Mauser on Ebay]

I just ordered one myself after seeing those photos. Thanks, Richard!

[Boots on Etsy]

Sherry, if you are in contact with your local GML, send them the link to these boots and they might give them the OK.

The stitching on the shaft of the boots look like decorative logos, which may not pass muster.

[Boots on Etsy]

The boots look right, but there's an odd logo that appears to be stitched on them.

Give us an update once it arrives, and a work in progress would be nice.

[Names I've been called while Trooping...]

I was wearing my Bridge Crewman uniform at an event in downtown Akron and more than a few folks asked if I was a security guard.

[How about this hat?]

I bought one too, I'm happy with it but I plan to order one of the custom hats offered by the Vendors that advertise on the Forum.

[How about this hat?]

It looks kinda wonky to me.

[Officer Corp patches]

No problem, Sir!

You need to ask for 501st access if you have an approved 501st costume, then the Admins will grant you access to the Merch thread.

[Officer Corp patches]

I believe you have to be a member of the 501st to be able to order patches.

[Be the best Star Destroyer Captain you can be]

There's a "Carl" in all branches of the Military, and there's lots of R rated memes to prove it.

[DONE - Help With My First Ever Costume - Thanks Everyone]

I've heard that some dry cleaners can steam and starch hats, but I have yet to find one.

The third would be the Imperial Gunner Corps.

Ebay has a seller offering 2 XL Museum Replicas hats for the price of 1. See Matt's post number 3 for more info.

[DONE - Help With My First Ever Costume - Thanks Everyone]

Richard, what is your hat size?

[Imperial Bridge/Tie Reservists cap]

You're right about the Museum Replicas hat Phil, I'm still working on smoothing the wrinkles out of mine. But I was lucky enough to pick it up on the cheap. It'll be my "Field Cap" when I order and receive a hat from Sewing Jenny.

[Imperial Bridge/Tie Reservists cap]

With a bit of luck you can find surplus Museum Replica hats on Ebay, they meet the 501st standards for approval.

[Star wars celebration 8]

I'm going to start saving my Imperial Credits now!

[Boot question]

If they're pvc rubber boots, your feet will sweat like crazy.

[Rogue One]

Looks like there's a few new armored Troopers in the trailer, too.

[R.I.P Admiral Gial Ackbar - Today News]

Sad news indeed.

[Imperial Army Troopers]

Sebastian, the great thing about this initial build is that I can also use the basic kit to get approved as a AT-ST Driver. So even if I don't get the Imperial Army Trooper approved, I can always join the Armored Cavalry.

[3D printed blasters?]

I like the idea of printing up parts for a blaster build, but I don't think I could justify spending the bucks for a printer. Are there places that you can go to and have things printed up?
