    Sean as this is a whole new CRL for the very 1st Officer uniform seen in Star Wars I feel it should be done right at the start, we also need to move with the times or stagnation will occur, all other detachments do it I don't understand why the IOC is so opposed to raising standards? We are after all officers and should be looking the sharpest. Marc i very much get your point on the clips some did look silver some brass, but at the moment the words say correct clip which may cover that

    Eyeing references, Phil's suit, and the words donated by @Paggeldiwwer and @nocternus ... here is the first go I have of it.  I really want more eyes on the accessories bits, as I am not entirely sure I like the wording on them.  I have also asked Dawn Bright to examine the tunic wording.
     
    THIS IS ONLY A FIRST DRAFT
     
    Description: ANH Staff Officer
    Prefix: ID
    Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps 
    Context: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
    Black uniformed officers that provided a commanding presence among the legions of Stormtroopers. These ambitious officers not only serve aboard starships and military installations, but their leadership roles often inspire troops in battle. This very specialized costume is specific to Star Wars: A New Hope, and is informally known off-screen as the "451 uniform".
     
      Hat, black
    For 501st approval: Fabric is a medium weight black suiting material matching the pants and tunic. Base of the hat is conical, with a crown about 4" (101.6 mm) tall. Front and rear "flaps" overlap on the sides and are about 4" (101.6 mm) high. Front bill extends 3" down, decorated with 5, 6 or 7 concentric stitches. Dimensions of the hat are are relative and proportional to the costumer. Imperial Code Disk is positioned in the center of the front vertical flap.   
    For level two certification (if applicable): Code Disk has a notch detail on the outermost disk. For level three certification (if applicable): Code disk exactly matches screen-used prop.  
        Tunic, Black
    For 501st approval: Fabric should be a medium weight suiting material exactly matching the pants and hat; calvary twill weave is most accurate. Tunic is double-breasted with a left over right closure at the right shoulder-seam. Front of tunic has a double breasted design. The back of the tunic replicates the front. The back of the tunic's replicated double-breast opens at both lower pleats. Yoke closes up across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam. The standing collar has square corners and is approximately 1.6" (40.6 mm) tall and closes snugly. There are code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket from about half way between the top and bottom of the arm hole. Sleeves are long, and without decoration, containing 2 seams; one along the bottom and one along the back. The rear seam opens at the cuffs at a length of approximately 3" (75mm) Tunic should be constructed with top-stitching only in these specific areas and nowhere else: Approximately 0.25 inches (6mm) from the outer edges of the double breast front and back. Approximately 1" (2,54mm) from the outer edge of the double breast front and back. Directly underneath the edge of the code cylinder pockets. Fasteners on the uniform are not be visible.

    Mac reacted to Rhaethe in Governor Pryce in armour   
    ACD got the General Veers costume (transformed into AT-AT Commander) because he commanded the AT-AT forces.  That was before my time, and I'll not comment on whether or not I agree with it.  Nor do I particularly wish to rehash that debate.
     
    That does not mean that every single officer costume with battle armor necessarily goes to ACD.  Their mandate, specifically is " ... facilitates the Research, Archiving, Development & Creation for all Imperial Ground Assault Vehicle Operators/Commanders of the Star Wars saga."  Not "Anyone with officer uniform and chest armor" 
     
    In the case of these officers such as Rebels Thrawn, Pryce, etc, that already have existing costumes represented, they are seen donning battle armor once or twice on screen, and not specifically and only to command ground assault vehicles.  It makes more sense to me, and the current LMO Team, to simply add in said Battle Armor as an optional accessory to their respective CRL.  Once someone actually make it to reference, that is.

    Hello.  Your neighborhood LMO is here with a new chapter of "Update That CRL".
     
    Pursuant to the overall activity of general review and updating where needed (noted here) ... I've performed a review of the Admiral Daala - Flightsuit CRL.  
     
    Rather than post the CRL in entirety below, I will say that the only changes (outside of spelling, etc) is: 
     
    1. On the flightsuit, allowing both darker olive and black piping. 
    2. Minor language smoothing for clarity purposes.
     
    These edits have not been performed yet.  I will be making them live November 9.  If there are any further updates to this specific CRL desired, post here.

    Mac reacted to Paggeldiwwer in General Pattern for an officers' tunic   
    Hello fellow officers.
     
    more than two years ago, when I became a member here, I noticed (as many before and after me) that it is hard to find a pattern here for the tunic.
     
    I have sewed a few of those tunics since then (as an amateur - it's just a hobby ) and I just made a small photo-documentation of my recent progress.
     
    I photographed the single pieces from which the tunic will be constructed and drawed in the measurements of them. I hope this will help some of you to create an own pattern for your tunic. And even if you haven never seriously sewed before (like me more than two years ago) - just do it, give it a try. You'll like it - believe me It is such a great feeling seeing the progress of your own project. And you do not need to work it out by hook or by crook - take yourselves the time you need. This includes re-opening of some seams sometimes. But you'll to this for the better.
     
    The pattern is designed for my father, so it is customized. That means the single parts are made to meet his measurement - not yours. You will need to alter them to make the tunic fit your own body.
     
    My fathers measurements are: 176 cm tall, weight 76kg, chest is 108cm waist is 110cm, back from neck to hip: 42cm, arm length: 62 cm, neck-circumference: 42cm.
     
    Please alway keep in mind, that we need about 10-15mm of seam-allowance at each and every edge of the fabric. Before you sew all of that together, it appears a lot larger of course  
     
    The collar:
     

     
    The chest-pieces:
     
    Right Side:
     



     
    Left Side:
     



     
    Double-breast:
     


     
    The arm-pieces:
     


     
    The back-pieces:
     





     
    Construction (where do these parts all have to be placed?):
     
    Right front:
     

     
    Left front and double-breast:
     

     
    Back:
     

    (please mind that the center-seam is just here for the Admiral Versio-Uniform. For a regular officer there is no center-seam at all!!!)
     
    Arms:
     
     
     
    How to start:
     
    Draw on the pattern-parts and cut them out of the fabric:
     

     
    Draw them on the facing again an cut those parts too:
     

     
    Iron the facing onto the inner side of the fabric:
     

     
    cut of the excess-facing:

    I did try gray color on the early stage. It did not work out as what the design was when I was watching the movie again.
    Just to show you how it looks like if it was gray color (The top). Base on the research that me and some of the people from IOC.
    For the Top Mint color fabric:
    I got from this store
    Spotlight - Premium Cotton Sateen Fern


     
     
    you can kind of see the different with both of the color.
     
    The question on how I wear the top part, I did a collar on kind so I can fit inside. In the early stage, I did try to sew all up in one go, but my head just can not fit inside the collar . so I did like this.

     

    This is how it looks like over all. After I redo and show the right olive color.

    http://www.clothearscostumes.com/ is well worth the money and the wait. I just received my ANH Staff Officer uniform, based on the original tunics which are slightly different than the Line Officer uniforms. It is incredibly well made, tailored to exacting detail.
     
    It took nearly a year for me to get mine, and when it was all said and done, it was a little over $1000.00 USD. But if you want perfection, well, you can't beat it. I started with a Cosplaysky uniform and then upgraded to this after I was dissatisfied with some things. Although I know they've made notable changes to their uniforms since I ordered mine.
