Folks, I received word from the LMO office that they have determined that the imperial army trooper as seen in the show Andor will have the CRL made in the Spec ops detachment.
 
it will go there unless a new detachment is created to house it.
 
thank you everyone for your interest and passion.

Hello there my fellow officers! ;-P
 
I am starting this topic as since I have seen quite a few topics about the aforementioned accessory for our Imperial personnel.
Unfortunately most of them are years upon years old and long closed or at the very least seem to be "dead".
 
Now I would like this topic to be a place at which anyone who will be making such accessories in the future can share their idea (mayby even some drawings or photos) on how could such "Imperial Swagger stick" look like and also to link-up merch topics for those who would like to make a run of such accessories of their own making so that they are easier too find/sort through later on. It would also allow for interest check for such imperial canes in the future without the necessity of making interest topics every time. But that's just my reasoning so feel free to do as you will of course.
 
 
Anyways to start the conversation going - what do you guys think about the "Imperial Swagger Sticks" in general - I for example - simply love them. Been using a riding stick for a while a couple of years back and quite frankly I would like an upgrade    
 
 
 
Just for kind of "reference" here are some pics of swagger sticks that have been offered by IOC members before and which pics are still available:

We need someone to capture photos and place them here.  Some were placed in the officers mess, but we need them here.

The construction of this coat is the same as the green coats with 4 sets of pockets.  They are NOT the same as the coats we see in Rogue One.

Get the photos here and we will have the LMOs take a look.

Thank you very much! This makes much sense indeed. I will modified then to this classification:
Army trooper- Soldier, lance corporal (1 stripe) and corporal (2 stripes). Also there is a kind of "butler" version that we see. Army trooper with armor- Soldier, and lance corporal (1 stripe) Army trooper with armor and helmet-Soldier

I have been told by one of the actors on the show that the material for the enlisted troopers is a kind of a denim.  I'll see if we can draw him out to speak here.  He is also an IOC member.

I am submitting shortly the references we have so far for this costume.  I'll make the case that it should be here given the other enlisted we have in the IOC (mostly the navy).  

From a friend that was on the set wearing this uniform.
 
 
The fabric is a dyed denim.

Stitches on the brim of the hat.

Level 1 yes.  I would show them to your GML though from the garrison you would apply to.  These don't look like they would last too long with wear.

I would like to help for the Italian language

I have been told by one of the actors on the show that the material for the enlisted troopers is a kind of a denim.  I'll see if we can draw him out to speak here.  He is also an IOC member.

Hey guys, I was lucky enough to wear the uniform on set and now the episode aired today I'm probably a little more free to talk about it.
 
It was more like a stretch denim, will try get some example pictures of closeups to be used at somepoint.
 
I'm at work just now but will post up more information later, currently just enjoying the fact I was onscreen in Star Wars

Hey fellow Officers,
As most of us might have seen, finally the ordinary Army Troopers, the "Boots on the ground" have appeared on screen! Long overdue, as we have seen the Elite - Stormtroopers and the specialised Mudtroopers, but not yet the ordinary "Grunts". I am interested in making this Costume and would like to start a discussion here. 
As the latest episode of "Andor" is just a less than a week old i will not yet post screenshots, i will wait until the end of next week. No Spoilers...
 
What we can do ist start discussing materials and pattern of the uniform. Material seems to be a standard heavy fabric, but NOT the Ripstop material used in most "of the shelve" BDUs. More like Moleskin, a kind of heavy cotton. 
 
Tunic pattern seems to be similar to the standard BDU, but with some additional seams on the back and pockets on the upper arm. Pants also BDU-style, but without the Cargo Pockets. Okay, hard to explain without pics, i will add them in a few days to avoid spoilers. 
 
Boots are the same Jack Boots (Knobelbecher) used in SOO many other costumes. Hat is a standard Officers Cap. Belt also standard Officer Belt. 
 
Short black leather gloves are worn. 
 
In some frames 1 or 2 black "Rankbands" are worn on the left shoulder. The Soldier with two bands is adressed as "Corporal", so i assume one band is a "Private 1st Class"
 
What do you think, can we start a new costume from here? 

@chicken45 @buckrogersbarker
This is version 2 from R1, I got with and without the Rank bar. Let me know if you need any other picture from this version please
 











 

We have seen at least 2 other people with the three blue rank and called Lieutenant.  Why they called the security services "lieutenant" with the same rank "Captain" is bewildering.  Maybe this can be explained or fixed down the road. 

There is an entire group of people wearing grey tunics that seem to service the white tunics of the ISB.  Are they ISB also?  Not sure, we definitely could use some clarity with this series.   If Pablo Hidalgo is right, saying that they are organized according to the Imperial Sourcebook from West End Games Published in 1989, I would say they are COMPNOR, the uniforms of the political party of the empire.

Black, Grey, and White... they are all part of the same organization, separate from the imperial military...and yet growing in influence.  I am surprised that we have not seen more stormtroopers, but maybe they haven't been deployed far and wide yet.

Hello,
 
I'm currently not working on the forums at the moment due to the hurricane that just passed through. 

But if you message me your Facebook account, Ill add you to our group chat! 
 
Thank you for volunteering,

Good afternoon, I am Juan Manuel from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm volunteering to help this detachment doing the Spanish translations they need. Thank you very much and I remain attentive by this topic or to my personal email (jmchevascodiaz@gmail.com)

It is now apparent that the ISB follows the same rank chart as the Security Services and does have some authority over them.

The ISB Major received reports from Lieutenants and rank was used interchangeably with their title's "Supervisor".   A single Lieutenant can be in charge of as many as 6 to 8 sectors. which is a pretty large territory.
