Unfortunately those are no longer canon and are considered "Legends" at this point. I'm curious about the status of the SW:RPG cards I posted since they are from Fantasy Flight Games, I think circa 2014. 
 
Either way, canon or legends status has no bearing on a costume. See my post about the Swamp Trooper for context. 

A quick recap of today's update on the official 501st thread. I got the SW:RPG trading cards in the mail while at Celebration. I bought this pack in particular because it has two cards relevant to this topic: the Imperial Army Trooper and Imperial Army Officer. Here are the cards...
 
 
 
 
 
As you can see the regular trooper is sporting body armor very similar to what I put together...
 

 
Also, note the text on the back of the card. I'm not sure if there are still canon or now legends material at this point, but it shouldn't really matter.

Out of curiosity, has Rebels been taken into consideration at all?
With Tarkin seen wearing armour and a helmet in Season 1 and Thrawn wearing armour a bit closer to what Veers wore on Hoth in Season 3, it seems there is certainly regulation combat armour for the Empire.  Another hint towards this is Captain Slavin's helmet, seen on his desk in his office in the Syndulla home on Ryloth, also in Rebels Season 3.
Just thought I'd offer a couple more bits of evidence for the effort.

Yep, and Walt is sculpting a new chest piece that doesn't have any details (as seen in some of the line drawings of the Imp Army Troopers)

Congrats to the last "kid" to leave the Star Garrison roost.  Good luck, Oklahoma Garrison - Star will always have your back.

(We kinda need to, if you guys disappear Texas might slide into the ocean  )

Maybe because it's a cartoon.

Nice jackets!
 
Hmm, maybe we should suggest to Hawk to do a run of 11" IOC logos to use for back patches.

You can take your trousers to a tailor and have the legs tapered to be more form fitting if they're excessively baggy.

Thanks for the info Kris, that's actually a pretty good idea.

Ron the hats come with 2 disks one a pin one a magnet base they can be changed and spun round easy

This has been really exciting Celebration. Also announced is a Grand Moff Tarkin 6" figure to the Black Series

Another option for your boots, I had my cobbler split the seam cover in the back and widen it for me, and it gave me plenty of space! I have wide calves and I really didn't want a zipper, and this was a good solution for me to fit my calves in.

I bought them off Amazon

Sam, I'd avoid those boots. They have a noticeable seam running down the front shaft of the boot and the soles are lugged rather than smooth.

Pretty sure it's round toe only.  Square toed boots give off a "Western" vibe.

I just want to remind everyone, we are working on a large amount of new information and updates.  We are just starting on a new administration in the Legion and here.  Everyone has their pet project that they are waiting on, but there are a lot of requests and discussions for different CRLs.  We are going to address them and get all of them taken care of in a timely manner.
 
Keep in mind, most everyone working on the IOC side and Legion side of the CRLs, are gearing up for Celebration next week, so, with the exception of the new Governor Pryce CRL (which is very close to being posted BTW,)  don't expect many additional changes for a couple of weeks.  We are going to meet with Cari in Orlando for a concentrated course of CRL 101.
 
I would also like to mention, we all have Real World jobs and lives.  We donate a lot of time doing this for the Legion because we are passionate about it.  Everyone has been great working with the staff and suggesting improvements, Keep it up IOC!

Glad to hear that you'll be assisting with the CRLs, I just hope that we don't overwork you.

The first of many, I hope. Don't forget to start logging your troops here.

I second the Imperial Gunner option, I started out with the Bridge Crewman costume and picked up the items needed for a Gunner. Visibility is far better that most other buckets.
