    Thank you for putting together this thread. This has been a costume that's been overlooked and underappreciated, IMO. Good to see someone show it some attention.

    I started collecting threads where the “hall walkers” are mentioned due to the fact I’m thinking about creating one of these after I'm done with my ISB (ANH) and warrant officer (ANH).

    There is a site that has Blue Ray quality screen shoots of all the Star Wars movies. I use them for my research all the time because I can't get clear shots from my DVD.

    The black officer uniform from ANH is similar to the uniforms of the movie Fahrenheit 451. They used many different officer uniforms in ANH. Only the olive type was used in ESB and ROTJ in the colors olive and black.
     
    Clothears Costume made the black ANH officer uniform for one of the IOC members. The pictures might help.

    PArmstr got a reaction from DarthFunk83 in ANH enlisted death star personnel in olive uniform   
    I was wondering if we could create a CRL for these guys. There are quite a few of them in the hallway and elevator scene in ANH. There are also two of them wearing IN helmets in scenes were Tarkin is standing in front of the death star viewing screen. Starwars.com uses a picture one of them in their death star trooper databank entry. I don’t think that is the best example of an IN but that is a different story. http://www.starwars.com/databank/death-star-troopers
     
    I think this simple uniform could be a good alternative for people who want to have an IOC costume but have problems finding fitting officer boots or jackboots and think the ISB version with the regular trouser gets dirty to easily.

    PArmstr got a reaction from WhiteWalker in Which Costume?   
    I’m planning on using my two officer costumes as back-up costumes when I can’t handle being in my jawa all day long. I have asthma and on some days I just don’t get enough air under my mask. I also don’t want to wear my jawa at crowded events if I don’t have a handler. I had two bad experiences when I was trooping with a small local group. I haven’t had a bad experience at an official 501st legion event yet but I prefer going to smaller events and avoid the real big ones. That might have helped. I want to keep the jawa as my main costume because the people love it and I’m camera shy if I’m not hiding under a mask due to being obese.

    That's a good line to use.  "No, sir, these uniforms were modeled after WW1 flying corp uniforms, not Nazi uniforms, although you're not the first to make that mistake.  And there's your Imperial history lesson for the day!  May the force be with you..."

    Many people try to use the McCall's M 4745 Civil War pattern for the tunic. I don't recommend it because the shoulders of the sleeve are weird. The instructions are also a little bit difficult to follow.

    The Agent Kallus CRL is being written and should be online soon I hope.
     
    In the mean time I can give you a few pointers
     
    Belt: The belt is the same as standard officers, except for the buckle.
    Gloves: standard black (leather) gloves but covered with what I started to refer to as "gauntlet armor"
    Boots: black boots ofcourse, but covered with shin armor.
     
    check my build topic.

    Actually, the ISB tunic is different than the other tunics. The backs of the tunics are the same, but the front seams and overlap are different. The ISB tunic front flap cuts straight across from the bottom of the collar out toward the shoulder, and there are no code cylinder pockets. The actors wearing the uniform don't seem to have shaping seams on the front of their tunics, but I'm gonna have to, since I don't think a baggy uniform looks good.
     
    I'm just following along the lines of the front panel, and then having the front princess seams end closer to the armpit to make them less noticeable, but still allow them to do their job. The few times I've seen drawings of women wearing the ISB tunic (i.e. Alecia Beck, though some details on her tunic are suspect) that seems to be what's going on with the shaping seams of the uniform, and it makes sense.
