Welcome Dave!
For the armor worn by Gen Veers in ESB, check out http://forum.armoredcavalry.net/index.php?
That costume is covered there, under the Armored Cavalry Detachment. You should be able to find some good leads there.
For the rest of the costume, you're in the right place here. Let us know if you need anything else.

Yes. We get that. No worries.

No, this isn't another EP VII rumor...
While watching the Cartoon Network this morning to see the awesome new episode of the Clone Wars, I happened to catch Star Wars Lego - The Empire Strikes out, an animated Star Wars spoof of ESB in the Lego universe.
I found it to be pretty amusing, but was especially pleased to see Ken Colley reprise his role as Admiral Piett! Well, his voice anyway.

I believe this source here completely custom makes those boots to your measurements if you contact them. if they dont still do this, i know they offer larger sizes http://www.toddscostumes.com/costumes/han-solo-costume/han-solo-boots/
That might be a good option for you

Thanks I think she should tweak it and try for juno i will ask her to start a wip on here. Thanks for the help and advice.

If there's ever any confusion about weather a costume would get approved, don't hesitate to post pics here. You'll get the proper feedback without the headache.

All I know is if I see one more Disney/Star Wars meme or mock-up pic on Facebook, I'm going to throw my laptop against the wall....

Have you modeled your costume on any perticular character? Of all imperial characters, Imperial Officers have tons of screen time and speaking parts in the original trilogy. They give us lots of great costume choices too. Lets look at just a few of these jolly old fellows.
LTC Praji
Lieutenant Colonel (or Commander as Vader calls everybody) Praji was the officer tasked with finding the stolen Death Star plans. He was effectively the Detachment Leader of the Sandtroopers.

ADM Ozzell
Admiral Ozzell was the first officer we see Vader force choke to death. He was promtly replaced with Captain Piett. Admiral
Ozzell wore an Admiral rank insignia with two cylinders on the left, and one on the right. Vader never liked his mustache.

ISB Agent
I don't know the name of this Imperial Security Bureau Agent, but he can be seen walking past Luke, & Han by the elevator.
He wears an off-white tunic, black jodphurs & his rank bar is flipped opposite of Yularen's.

Chief Bast
We're not sure what he was Chief of, but he was another prominent officer seen in ANH. He is the reson people associate mutton chops with Imperial Officers.

ADM Motti
Admiral Motti had to have the last word in any conversation...until he got snippy with Darth Vader. He had unique code cylinders usually worn by crewmen and pilots. He also has the same first name as a famous Earth talk show host.

ADM Piett
Piett was given a field promotion after his superior failed Vader for the last time. Piett was the only officer to appear in two films. Unfortunetly, he went down with his ship at the Battle of Endor. He accidentally wore his old Captain's rank to work during ROTJ. He was still an Admiral in the script, and credits.

CAPT Khurgee
This fellow looked high and low for anyone aboard the Mellennium Falcon, but did not find the rebels hiding in secret compartments. He wore six amber squares for his rank which somehow was a Captain in the Empire's makes-no-sence ANH rank structure.

CAPT Lennox
This Star Destroyer Captain probably still recalls to this day how it felt when his ship was blasted by the rebel's giant boob gun. He was an avid fisherman off duty.

CDR Cass
This poor fellow was neglected to be given a rank by the ever-so-condtradicting Expanded Universe, so I'll just be like Vader and call him Commander. Vader calls everybody Commander, so why not?

GEN Tagge
A General Officer aboard the first Death Star, Tagge was one of the few to not underestimate the rebels. He also has the same first name as my watch.

CDR Gharent
He was Piett's side kick in ROTJ. They liked to go bridge-diving together. You can plainly see the unique ROTJ details on his gloves in one scene.

1LT Tanbris
This is the officer who counted 30 rebel ships that were too small to be hit by turbo lasers. He sported a sweet DH-17 with a brown holster, and wore the most common Army rank insignia in ANH.

CDR Igar
Commander Igar was either the CO of the Endor Garrison, or just the CO of the AT-AT he exited from, with luke's lightsaber in hand.

GEN Wallscreen
General Wallscreen (thats what I call him) could be seen issuing orders from Chewbacca's flat screen in the Holiday Special. He wore one of the rare single-breasted tunics left over from ANH.

CDR (Moff) Jerjerrod
CDR Jerjerrod was charged with overseeing the completion of the second Death Star. He had a good bit of screen time in the Blu Ray's deleted scenes. He challenged Darth Vader entering the Emperor's thrown room, and even questioned the Emperor's order to destroy Endor, advising the Emperor of the several battalions who'd be killed.

1LT Treidum
If ANH had been a horror movie, 1st Lieutenant Pol Treidum's last word's would have been "I'll be right back".
His costume is a favorite to replicate due to the sweet Merr Sonn Power Five blaster in his brown holster.

CWO Endicott
Chief Warrant Officer Endicott was Moff Jerjerrod's right hand man in ROTJ. He also had some decent screen time that was cut from the theaterical release.

LT Cabbel
He was one of the many nervous LTs rushing to follow orders in ESB.

LT Cecius
Cecius quickly assembled a boarding party for no reason at the end of ESB. I believe he is the first officer to be identified on screen as "Lieutenant".

1LT Childsen
This Security Officer was having a very boring day, waiting for an IN to return with his coffee, when all of a sudden an unscheduled prisiner transfer occured. He wore his belt backwards, and could be seen reaching for a DH-17 to defend himself during the chaos.

1LT Jir
Daine Jir was a Stormtrooper Officer in the 501st Legion. He wore guantlet gloves, and a brown holster on his left side. The odd details of the black tunics in ANH can be seen better on him considering the white background of the rebel ship.

LT Schekil
This officer was escorting Leia, Chewie, and 3PO to Vader's ship until he was captured by Lando's men. Jeremy Bulloch had to shave his Clint Eastwood-style scruff to briefly play this part.

LT Suba
Suba was one of Piett's men, and Chief of Security aboard the Executor. He had a strange looking rank insignia where the bottom two blue squares looked like they were spaced a bit wider than the top two blue ones.

LT Venka
This noble Lieutenant saved his superior from an uncomfortable moment with Bossk when he brought news of a priority transmission from the Star Destroyer, Avenger.

CAPT Needa
A brave Star Destroyer Captain who followed the rebels escaping through an asteroid field, would never find out that they were hiding on the hull of his ship. At least his apology was accepted.
.
COL Yularen
A high ranking member of the Imperial Security Bureau, Colonel Yularen has been a popular character for someone without a speaking role. Dave Filony of Clone Wars Cartoon fame, mistook him for a Grand Admiral in his ANH appearance, making him only an Admiral in the cartoon series. This clearly conflicts since Colonel is a lower rank than Admiral. I guess Filony was never in the military. Hasbro also incorrectly gave his action figure white pants to further the confusion.

WO1 Dyer
Warrent Officer (or Col in most EU references) Dyer was the brave officer who tried to stop the rebels before Han Solo knocked him over the railing with a tool box. He was portrayed by Sound genious, Ben Burtt.

CWO Hewex
Chief Warrent Officer (or Major in EU references) Hewex was the commander of the Endor bunker. He was responsible for keeping the shield generator operational to protect the Death Star. He ordered three squads be sent after the retreating rebels, when the first squad sent out was captured, and the bunker was compromised.

WO1 Renz
Warrent Officer (or Lt in most references) led a squad of Stormtroopers into the Endor bunker to capture the rebel invaders. He is famous for his quote "You rebel scum!". He and Dyer share a unique blaster that is similar to the one carried by Ponda Baba.

Unknown Warrant Officer
This officer is briefly seen in ANH ordering a squad of Stormtroopers to their stations, and a group of INs to follow him.
He wore the exact uniform of an ANH IN, only with an imperial cap instead of a helmet. Little else is known of him.

Unknown Fleet Officer
This officer was stationed on Kashyyyk, and was going door to door, searching for rebels with a group of Stormtroopers and INs. I can't find a name (or even a rank) for him, but he wears a single breasted tunic with code cylinders and a rank bar. He was only seen in the beloved Holiday Special. I'm waiting for somebody to do this costume!

Unknown 2LT
I cannot find a name for this unfortunate Second Lieutenant , but his fast draw proves Han shoots first. He wore a brown leather holster with a Mersonn Power Five blaster. He also must have lost weight, seeing how much extra belt was tucked in. This is the only Army officer we see with the 2LT rank of two red squares.

GMF Tarkin
Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin needs little introduction. He is the highest ranking Imperial Officer seen in the original trilogy. He wore a unique rank insignia, and was the only officer to ever wear all four code cylinders on his uniform. He also wore a white dress shirt underneath his tunic. If one is to costume as Tarkin, a great facial resemblence is also required.

I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely wish you all a very happy and safe New Year!
Here is to a very bright and prosperous 2013!
Cheers!

Ummm.....dry clean your uniform regularly might be a good prevention for this, as for a solution.... Not quite sure. Perhaps hand-scrubbing it in the affected areas. That might help a little until the ancient Chinese secret can be cracked

I would say as long as it's not noticeable, it should be OK.

Yes, the top of the boots should be right at the bottom of your knees.

Another UKer giving my 2 penceworth May I also suggest having a close listen to Cary Elwes. I always thought he summed up a typically British accent.
His line in Men in Tights epitomises this - "Unlike other Robin Hoods, I can speak in an English accent"

The CRLs are being updated at this very moment & the correct code cylinders will be discussed for both black and green costumes.

Thanks for posting these BJ.

So maybe it is time for the IOC logo to get a facelift?
I was working on making a clean version but the patch is kind of cluttered and the shadow around the outer ring makes the text illegible. In my defense, the colors looked WAY better on PS!

IOC Logo by winterjg, on Flickr

The color is a little hard to make out, but looks like you've clearly done a fine job with all the minor details. I'd say overall, it's an easy pass.
