May I suggest for this and other Imperial trench coats that the type of sleeve cut be added?  The trench coats all have the raglan style sleeves.  This added to the description of having the sleeves having a seem going all the way to the collar, would help clarify and help those seeking the correct type of sewing pattern.

YEEEEEEESS!!!!

Yup! But let's deconflict with any Twi'lek meetups due to body paint logistics

Can't wait to see the pics of you in stockings 

My point is that some people are so wrapped around where a costume will go, less focus is put on making it a good costume. It's a cool uniform and I like it. It's not military (some folks don't know there's a difference between a police officer and a military officer), but I have no objection of it being here, and I encourage anyone to post WIPs here if they want. I am actually kind of surprised its been this long after TLJ has been out that no one has sparked much interest about it here. Of course, IOC is a great place to host it and share resources for it so no issue there. 

Wanted to keep you guys updated. 
All the text is in the wiki and almost half the photos are photo shopped. 
 

 

Some more photos of my “trial run” troop. I think I was the only trooper who wasn’t cold in the rink...

I would never dissuade anyone from trying to do this, but the amount of work, expertize, resources, time, and effort is vastly underestimated by the general public. Is it possible? You bet. Will it be easy? Nope. Until someone takes the genuine initiative to get the ball rolling, it's easier to place costumes under the roof of whoever is willing to be a good steward.
 
New costumes don't always match up well well with where they are placed, but with the number of new potential costumes getting pumped out from every new movie, tv show, comic, ect these days, it's getting harder just to get a costume made accurately and a CRL complete for it in a timeframe that would please everyone, much less place it under a detachment that will please everyone.  But we try.

Someone on the legion boards posted this quote about them from the visual dictionary, "The CBPD was notoriously corrupt. Every law and regulation in the city was negotiable, depending on the wealth of the suspect or the accuser. As such, the CBPD was both a byproduct and aide in the city's tiered society, with the wealthiest having the greatest sense of security and immediate access to justice—a flexible concept in Canto Bight."
 
So with that description is does sound like Underworld would be a good home for them.

Late to the party but for posterity: I cleared my Hux with a labret (center of lower lip) piercing and four ear piercings, two of which were stretched to a 4mm gauge.
I took my submission photos with a very subtle, clear retainer in my labret, removed my unstretched ear piercings (they wouldn't just close up if jewellery was not worn in them for a day etc) and wore matte, fleshtone plugs in my stretched ears.
This was not only never brought up as part of my approval process, but as I wore the same jewellery throughout my time trooping as Hux (before I removed almost all my facial jewellery around a year ago) it never came up. Not in the locker rooms getting changed, not by my garrison command staff, not by any of the members of the public I encountered on a troop.
I believe that if you go to a concerted effort to remove, or in case of inability to remove, to conceal (stretched ears can either leave unsightly holes or even tighten up without their retaining jewellery, and you really shouldn't repeat the stretch process over and over because you took your jewellery out.. and any mouth piercings are renowned for healing to the point of painful or impossible jewellery re-insertion within a number of HOURS.) that the legion doesn't discriminate.
It might be that you need to use fleshcoloured, low profile, clear or similar retainer jewellery in your eyebrow piercings. With some time and healing, you may be able to comfortably remove for the duration of a troop. At the very least, if you're a slow healer and it may take some time before you can trade out the jewellery, at least that gives you the time to work on your costume etc?

I started on one for fun, but to be honest, I kind of lost interest and put it on the backburner. lol. 
Most of what I made was from scratch, but I made the helmet using a snowtrooper helmet as the base. 
Here's a few pics of me wearing my rough-draft of it at DragonCon. 

It looks very good ! You have a great start i think
We speak on the 501st legion forum to find where this costume must go.

Awesome things are always in motion at the IOC! Thanks again, Kevin for helping us knock this out!
