Some of the hat design like fishing hat looks like a Japanese WW2 hat. So to my thinking if people really want to poke on it as a Nazi or Japanese WW2 thing, people better not off not wearings like things bomber jackets or long coats and stuff or cowboy hat. 

Like this, left is the fishing hat and the right is the WW2 Japanese hat.
 

But different country different kind of thing people face/view it.

And for the imp uniform, in Asia, people think it as a Chinese waiter uniform (for the Black ID) or Chinese chef (for the ISB). LOL

Imperial Waiter 

The hat itself don't match to a Nazi-Uniform. It's more a Japanese one. But nevertheless SmillingFox is correct. It could be a Problem... I wouldn't recommend that. The black Uniform itself can be hard enough for some People.

I bought a set here:https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/285629145/merr-sonn-power-5-greebles?ref=listing-shop-header-3
thought I got the Blaster cheap and had to fill a lot of gaps. Take it easy and use 3D Printed Parts.

Ooh ooh ooh, we finally have an in-universe answer for this one!  The Rogue One Visual Guide indicates that it is a "Private datapad contained in shockproof case".  For those with the book, check out page 121, the picture of Lieutenant Mytus Adema.
 
(and then check out the previous page where we get an in-universe justification for the "non-uniform" rank badges. )

Gotta have something to tip the entertainment staff with, right?
 
Actually, I was serious, if only on a personal level.  My belt boxes are openable, and I keep cash, ID, credit cards, and car keys inside.

Great Work. May I ask, where did you get the first background from?

I got bored so I figured I would share some of my photo shop work I have done over the last week or so. It was a fun time killer and most came out pretty good for someone who really does not know what he is doing. I try though.
 
Staff Officer

 
Warrant Officer

 
 and Bridge Crew

 
I did one for my TIE Reserve Pilot uniform as well, bit figured I would stick to the IOC uniforms here.

Like requested I post a picture of the Mauser. It is really 11 Inches or 300mm long.

The Pistol itself is completely made of Plastic and very light weighted. it includes a big Magazin, a small Magazin (shown above in the Picture) and a little bag with 6mm BB's. I think I have no need for the BB's and the big Magazin. I take the small one and start to modify the Mauser to an Merr Sonn Power 5 Blaster.
 
Can someone provide the length of the gun barrel of the MSP5?

[/END OF MODERATOR NOTE]
 
This the official guide to illustrate all canon officer ranks recognized by the IOC. It is compiled with reference from the original movies, and official EU sources. It is created from a costuming point of view, and not meant to explain every rank's importance or how they differ from movie to movie (that's what fan fiction is for). It is just a simple chart that shows what rank officially goes on what costume. Code cylinders are intentionally excluded, and can be referenced in the CRLs.
 
Note Rogue one/Solo ranks are only compatible with Rogue one uniform style

Having done a few printed blasters the biggest issue I have found with some of the models available free or to purchase is that they really weren't made to be printed and will require some modification to the models. The focus seems to have been placed solely on reproducing a faithful representation with very little thought put into actual assembly, fitment of parts or limitations of printer volume (bed space).
 
The most common issue I have run into has been fitment. Even when the model is a very accurate or detailed representation you just can get the pieces to fit together because the tolerances (space need between parts) are just too tight or in some cases non-existent. This could require major rework of the model to massage out those issues depending on the number of parts and complexity as a whole and if you don't have the right software or skill set may end up being an exercise in frustration.
 
Here's an example of my latest printed blaster - it doesn't fall under IOC but this E-22 was a real pleasure to print/assemble as all the issues I mentioned were taken into consideration. All parts with the exception of the PVC pipe core (not visible) and the sling/attachments were 3D printed. 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Whether they are accurately nazi-ish or not, I agree that seems to be how they are seen by the general public.
 
I DO wear my officer's hat to squad meetings and official functions, however, usually with my patch shirt.  I like it... feels more Star Wars-y than a ball cap, and being bald, I have to protect my skin from the sun.

Not quite like the ones in Rogue One, but for those Officers stationed in wet climates this might do the trick for non-canon events.

I went to the local theatres and, without even planning it, joined a cadre of other Star Wars cosplayers in taking pictures. I was wearing my unfinished Staff Officer uniform, and stood alongside a couple TKs and Jedis and the like.. Unfortunately didn't get a picture of my own, but will post it as soon as I inevitably find myself tagged on Facebook!
 
Here's my official, no-spoilers review of the movie:
 
It's good You should see it.  
I'm mostly excited by the variety of new CRLs the 501st will see from this movie: Death Troopers, Shore Troopers, Imperial Ground Crew, Imperial Armored Crew, Imperial Officer coats, Director Krennic, and a few others.

I was just happy to see my favorite Moff on the big screen again.

Have seen it a total of 5 times now, brought my two and half year old daughter on the fifth time and she absolutely loved it. Really looking forward to my steelbook bluray arriving once it's released. 

Without spoilers: i do agree 100% but I would say it's very good

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)

If you use heat n bond, you'll need to make sure that either you use a backing fabric on the adhesive to prevent them from melting together, or leave the backing on the adhesive until you've finished ironing the adhesive on both sides. Otherwise, yes, it will adhere to itself when heat is applied.
 
If you use an ironable interfacing, as kman suggests in the post above, then it wont be a problem. Make sure to use a medium weight or light weight interfacing, as heavy weight interfacing will likely be much too stiff.

Mine just arrived and overall I like it few things are a niggle like the belt I won't be using that the cap has 5 stitch lines so that's not good ( I don't wear the hat as my character does not but need to clear in it 1st) the trousers will need stirrups but that's a given for most manufacturers, The tunic has a good weight to it and I love the height of the collar which also closes up nice and tight however the lack of a modesty panel is going to be a problem (I'm not going to be able to put one on mine as no room) please excuse my tardiness I'm not to well right now and shaving is not high on my priorities it took me 40 minutes just to put the uniform on
 

Picked mine up today although I haven't been able to try it on just yet. I have the women's black and while I doubt I will take and post a lot of pictures if anyone is curious about something specific I would be more than happy to oblige.
 

I got mine on Monday, I am in the San Diego area just a few hours from the warehouse. From what Anovos says the difference between Standard and Premier is wool VS Polyester. Because I'm in SoCal and the $1000 difference in price I went with Polyester. These pics are right out of the box, a small box, so they look better since I pressed it.
I am very happy with it.
The one thing that I can see from the CRL is " Collar closes snugly and includes a modesty panel behind closure. "
I will have to take something from a hidden area to make the modesty panel.

I got the standard, a close up of material.
 

Here's a quick pic of the ladies version. Unfortunately, I've gained some weight over the 2 years and the chest is too tight.  I don't remember specifying the size of the belt - I assumed they went off the size of the pants or tunic. I have a women's large tunic and pants and I think they gave me a men's large belt. If I lose any weight it will be too big. I wonder how it will fit tall women. I'm somewhat short (5'4") and the tunic length and arms don't seem very long.
 
 
 

It looks like a nerf version of Han Solo's blaster. You can find them for around $15 dollars and mod one yourself. There are tutorials on YouTube that show how it's done.
