Gina (Runyajade) makes hats too
-
Works fine for me.
-
Really though if it doesn't have the proper accessories can we call it better than the MuR version?
-
as a reference the MUR Officer was $625.00 and included jacket, pant, hat, belt, rank, code cylinders, gloves, and boots. (according to their website)

Hi Robert. Welcome to the IOC.
Unfortunately as most repair places will tell you there's not much you can do with zip up boots. If they were regular pull on boots you could try to stretch them but for what you have you'll likely have to get a different pair if they wont fit. Sorry chap.

MuR lost their Star Wars license quite some time ago. There will not be any more from them. The resources post under getting started has a list of suggestions.

Just make sure to ask for the full waist seam now too.

Since this has come up often I'm re-posting this here for reference.

Additional tips from @azri84 who originally suggested the site to me.
Measure your Foot Size:
If you are not sure what size you wear, follow these guidelines to determine your size
1- Draw a straight line, longer then your foot, on a piece of paper.
2- Place the paper on a flat surface. Stand on the line with your heel and longest toe centered on the line.
3- Heave a friend place a mark on the line at the tip of your toe and back of your heel. Measure both feet.
4- Measure the distance between the marks. This is your boot size.
Measuring your Calf:
5- Measure completely around your leg at the largest part of the calf. (its best to do this over pants of a like fabric to your costume)
Measuring your required height:
6- Measure the height of your calf as illustrated.
Tips:
-
​Invest in a good boot jack.
-
Buy some boot pulls.
-
Wear the boots around for a day to get a good fit.
-
Measure your calf around the type of pant you will tuck into the boot.

There are lots of ways to stiffen the flares on your officer pants. This is how I do it.
- Purchase an iron-on fabric stiffener product that you like. I've use this one (HeatnBond) and one from Sulky:
- Cut the stiffener to the size you want. This depends on how stiff you want the flare of the pant to be. I typically go with a width of the flare to the inside where it meets my leg.
- Turn the pants inside out and place the cut out pieces under the flare to the edge and trim off to a rounded edge.
- Iron the rounded cut out to the inside of the pant leg. Depending on how stiff you want the flares to be you may just want to stabilize the front of the flare or both front and back. I personally do both.
- When the heat cools off peel the paper off.
- Enjoy the stiffened flares. (that's an order)

I put them in the message box but also did a lot of emailing with them.

Yup. I was thinking about doing this myself.

You lucked out with the pants. I went through three tries with them.
This will help immensely with the collar sag. http://www.imperialo...ing-in-5-steps/

That's exactly the measurement and calf size i went with and they fit pretty good. I probably could have gone 1/2 size down on shoe size but its fine with the insoles I put in.
-
Just get a set of boot pulls and a boot jack. Cheap and easy. The proper sized calves are much easier to put on and take off so make sure you have the right measurements

I'm not sure about "acceptable". They will do a color change so If you want a Line officer then ask for it in the Olive Green color. I've seen it in person and it looked fine. Perhaps someone else can weigh in.
-
I agree with BJ to remove it before cleaning.
-
Yeah, that would work too.
see the how-to I posted here: http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3624-how-to-officer-collar-stiffening-in-5-steps/

Step one: Acquire the plastic collar holder used in most dress/formal/shirt packages. You can buy a new shirt or ask your local JCPenney, Macys, etc if you can have their trash.
Step two: Trim it down to the height you will need.
Step three: Make an incision on the inside of your collar where it wont be seen.
Step four: Carefully slide the collar holder into the incision point and throughout the collar.
Step five: Trim off any excess length.
Congrats! Your collar now looks great!

MSRP will be $1500. Does not include, boots, rank, cylinders, or belt boxes. So for twice the price of what Museum Replicas was offering you get less items.
