Yes but it would have to be an all or nothing thing, you couldn't ignore the things you don't like - collar triangles, different code cylinders.

If you are talking about the General Veers rank bar.
I believe there are two rows of buttons. Each row has four 1 inch square plate mounted on it, with buttons in the center. I replicated the rank bar for CE2

When I started we approved grey and green, but we came to realise the uniforms we thought we grey actually worked out to be green. We believe the majority of the uniforms are the same colour - but appear different in different lighting conditions. At the moment olive jackets from different suppliers don't match, and look odd, it would look a right mess if you included another colour.
This is the basis of the Han Solo hoth parka conversation. What colour is it? Blue or brown. Due to the lighting conditions and filters they used the jacket appears to be blue. This idea was promoted with the action figures. In reality the parka was actually brown. Screen accuracy versus real life accuracy. On the whole we go with screen accuracy.
Saying that I believe High General Trech Molock has a grey uniform, but this is not the standard olive uniform, and a grey version of the ANH staff officer uniform (The Fahrenheit 451 style version). The collar is not joined at the middle, and the front panel has additional stitching.

The rank titles I used for the officers in my breakdown was taken from the Star Wars Collectible Card Game, by Decipher; an excellent source of knowledge. It was where most of the characters were first named. Sadly not all of the characters appeared in the game.

Generally in the forum we don't discuss specific characters, we deal with the costumes as a whole. Researching specific characters is more of a personal project. In my role as a Garrison costume mentor I sat down a watched the film on freeze frame a number of times and constructed a list breaking down the uniform configuration for ANH, and posted it here. I'm close to finishing the list for ESB, but there's less variance and my other duties have severely hampered this. I originally thought Malcolm Weaver had 3 red buttons, but after reading some continuity notes taken from the film I believe it's 2. Due to the fact it's so hard to tell, we accept 2 or 3.

well done, when in doubt check the film

The piping on the second cap is accurate, and desired. Unfortunately this is quite difficult and time consuming, so a number of the suppliers opt for the first method. It may also be true that the piping was a recent discovery with bluray and costumes based on caps from the archives.

I don't have the contact details, but D. Laws, Moncal and Trooper Master produce General Veers armour and helmets. They're well know within the industry, maybe ask if anyone has their contact details in your Garrison.
To me the rank of Grand Moff seems a little high to be wondering around in battle armour. Someone made a comment to me, it's nice to see an old guy wearing senior rank bar - they don't look right on young guys ... thanks. For added accuracy you may want to consider a rank suited to your age, just a thought.

Whilst studying the uniforms I looked into this. From my research, specifically officers, I found ANH officers had belts with scuffed / undyed edges to their belts, no grooves. ESB officers had plain belts with black edges. It was only RotJ officers which had belts with grooves.

Art,
Unfortunately your boots appear to be jack boots and not riding boots. Whilst they are leather and a nice quality they do not quite match the reference image of the CRL, and should be knee high.
These would need to be remedied before we can continue, other than that your uniform is a good quality, though:
The gloves are not correct, they should be gauntlets with a wide cuff.
You need to ensure the modesty panel of your collar is correctly fastened in the submission pictures.
Your trousers and jacket would need to be ironed.

Those are great improvements, thanks for updating us. It's good to hear the bunching in the forearms can be resolved without additional work.
When you're ready post some front, back and sides pics and we'all review your alterations. In the meantime, keep up the good work and enjoy trooping

I noticed the Tandy belt buckle has a long prong, I had similar concerns. I bought a metal saw from a DIY and shortened the prong a little, then sanded it off.

Sorry, to clarify my original comment was made when I couldn't see the picture and wasn't sure what you were talking about

Can you see evidence of the detail in the film?
If it's not in the film, or CRL we will need to see what it is. If you can see it in the film can you please post up a photograph.

Yes but what is it's name?
Sadly we don't have any inside info on the film, our sources of references are from the public domain.
I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have a name, so few things did in the original films. It was only later that meaning was attached.
-
Depends on the film. Are you talking ANH or RotJ?
ANH, rank bar, optional 2 vertical
RotJ, no rank bar, optional 4 vertical
If you don't have the time, or access to the films, StarWarsScreenCaps.com is a great source of reference.

From memory the lowest rank you see on film is a Staff Officer with 2/3 red buttons in a line, and a Line Officer with 2 red and 2 blue buttons.
Also a point to consider, if you want to be a little OCD is age and perceived military experience. It would be more in keeping with the film if a younger person had a lower rank and an older person a higher rank. Being 18 and a Grand Moff would be a stretch. But as long as you're within the guidelines do what makes you feel happy, it's your money, your costume and your time.

Yes, as they're mounted on one inch squares. My rank bar isn't easily available, but I'm sure you could calculate it based on the size of the button.
