Yeah, I take a 7 1/2 and my size large Museum Reps hat has a bit of room to spare.

I went ahead and ordered one. They had two listings one for L and another for XL, even though they had the same size listing in the details. The XL was only 29.99 with free shipping. I am hoping these are the ones they are referring to as being a little large than the 7 /12 that is stated. 

You can still find Museum Replica hats on Ebay, there's a few offered in size large (around 7 1/2) which happen to be on sale for around $44 shipped. I just picked up one as a back up hat. Once you press the wrinkles out of them, they look pretty good.

Now that's a great idea! After all, without the enlisted ranks, who are the Officers in charge of?

If they are good for basic approvable, then should the CRL be changed to reflect this?

My opinion for what it's worth, those boots may look good while you're riding a horse, but they probably aren't good for Trooping for long periods. Plus, all the ones I've seen look just like what they are: Rubber Boots. If you're going to portray an Officer of the Empire, you need to look your best, and only good, shiny leather boots will do. Are leather riding boots expensive? They can be, but there are good deals out there.

So there's a new character that appears in the movie Rogue One, an Imperial Ground Crewman. Legos has even made a new figure that is included in one of the new kits coming out. My question is will this character be part of the IOC? The folks over at the Imperial Gunners Forum are planning on claiming it for themselves.

Kman nailed it, if you can't find an equestrian outfitter near you, then Hessen or Todd's is your best bet.

Yes, BJ you are completely right this costume has been overlooked way to long. I will make my first muck-up when my ISB is finished.
 
 
Thank you for adding this picture. It is always good to have more sources for research.

From the 501st website:
 
The applicant submits a costume to his/her GML that does not currently exist in the Legion Membership Database. The GML posts the costume to the GML forum, in the New to the Legion / No CRL topic. LMO, DL and GML review the costume and determine whether it is eligible for inclusion. This review includes: Validity of the costume (i.e. Does it meet the character approval guidelines) Is the execution of the costume of sufficient quality for inclusion in the Legion Once the costume is deemed acceptable, the member will be instructed to work with the detachment to create the CRL When the detachment is satisfied with the CRL, it will go to the LMO for review. When the LMO approves the CRL, the new costume will be added to the membership database

I thought I'd add another photo.

I started collecting threads where the “hall walkers” are mentioned due to the fact I’m thinking about creating one of these after I'm done with my ISB (ANH) and warrant officer (ANH).

Good luck, Richard!

Kman,
 
I ended up going with these gloves.

Vonmoen, glad to be of service! Can't really go wrong for the price. Not super light either.

Those look like great boots; I wish they were in my size!
Should be perfect for staff officer, as long as they fit you correctly.
EDIT: Oh, missed that stiched logo. Hard to see in the main pic, but it's definitely there. That might be an issue, I'm not sure. The overall style is correct, though.

I placed the order. I'll update this thread as it comes in and I work towards a Power 5. Need to look into mod kits, or DIY. 

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

I know this thread is about Officers Rank, but I wonder why the NCOs aren't represented in the Star Wars Sagas. I kinda feel left out.

Someone needs to make some official Grand Moff Tarkin slippers.

I've been given the green light to start a costume build WIP by one of the Detachment Admins, and I'm going to need all the help I can get on that thread. This might just get off the ground.

Really looking forward to what develops out of this, cause I am very fond of the idea, that Stormtroopers were the "elite" and it's actually the Imperial Army Troopers who were the front-line, battle-hardened, day-to-day soldiers. I would definitely want to make an Imperial Army Trooper costume in the future, as depicted in these sources you've provided here- they look really good in my opinion (exactly like I've imagined the simple "normal" day-to-day soldiers of The Empire would probably look like). 

hope you're gonna succeed with this. Best of luck.

As far as the textures go.... I used to work with several industrial printers of various types (metals, plastics, resins, and waxes), and when it comes to PC, and presumably ABS, we would always use high build primer. After a few coats, you had a beautifully smooth and matte surface to paint/detail how you see if. If I can find a picture or two of the primed models (that isn't proprietary or classified) I'll post them so you can see what I'm talking about.
