Sorry, been extremely busy of late, so I haven't had time to work on this directly. I'm going to try to take good pro-level photos of the greeblie and belt opefully this weekend. I also need to take good shots of myself in this variant, both for the CRL (hopefully?) and for Imperator, except I've grown my Winter beard so it might be a bit for that part.

I never got the chance to post this last week (was busy Christmas shopping). But I got my Line Officer uniform got approved.

This isn't the place for a debate of the merits (or lack thereof) of The Last Jedi.
Nobody is out of line, no warnings need be issued - But that movie tends to spark heated discussion which often times devolves rapidly.
I trust everyone here would be above that, but as a precaution lets just focus on new and exciting things (that will undoubtedly spark their own controversy).

I merely reacted to the argument already presented, my point being exactly what you've said. There are people with differing opinions aobut all sorts of things, and this isn't the place. We should be aware that it's not some universal truth.

Same!
 
The Last Jedi is the second best Star Wars film, imho. The only debacle is the one people decided had to exist.

Governors Pryce Adventures with Vader where not as fun as Thrawn's Adventures with Lord Vader.

I was at a WW2 reenactment this weekend, and there were a couple guys there as German Polizei. Their cuffs and colors immediately reminded me of this thread, so I found some photos and thought they might help shed some light here:

Hello fellow officers,
 
Several months ago, I sent a challenge to a fellow from the Spanish Garrison. If he dyed his beard of pink, I will let him to command the escort of Ambassador Droid R2-KT in the Spanish Garrison's Training Day.
 
Our Training Day was celebrated last wekend in Sevilla and... oh well, a pic is better than a thousand words...
 

 
He's ID-22967 and we will love to see our proud officer with ambassador droid R2-KT on IOC Facebook page if you find it appropiate. We fight against cancer!

I thanked Alex for making this video, then scolded him for only mentioning Scanning Crew and forgetting about the Bridge Crew

I'm not sure if they've been brought up, but I see that Diversity Props is taking orders for the soft parts of the Mud Trooper uniform.

Thought I'd share that.

Hi!  I watch this channel daily.  He's always upbeat and looks at the positive side of Star Wars fandom.  I ran into him at the 501st Bash in Orlando last year.  Super cool guy.
Anyway, he did a quick video yesterday about Officer's Uniforms.  Go watch it!
 
 

They do now. 
 

It's a seam that does nothing, so it's not like it needs to be really strong. It's not load bearing, as it were.
 
Open the seam between the panel and lining, fold in a little, stitch it up. Maybe 1/4" seam. Then sew the lining closed again.
 
If the panel is too far off from the bottom of the coat (and I doubt it'll even be noticeable), hem it. It's not enough to make it too short.

You can see the same (or very similar) belt worn by actor, Alan Flyng, when he was getting fitted in this crewman costume for ROTJ. 

Doing this in a separate post so it stands out...

I believe I'm now ready to start this thread!
 
I've been doing a lot of research (with tons of help!) on, specifically, the ROTJ Naval Trooper, especially the belt, greeblie, and gloves.
 
Current CRL:
http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:IN_imperial_navy_trooper
 
Belt and Greeblie research here:
Gloves here:
I'm waiting for a sunny day again (hard to find this time of year in New Hampshire) to get my Imperator photos done, but I think the info is out there now well enough that we can work on updating the verbiage for the CRL. I'd love to see updates for both ANH and ROTJ, so if anyone has any input, please please please feel free!
 
The biggest change for ROTJ is the belt greeblie. I'm not sure how to describe it, so I would just say something like (but less clunky):
 
Belt Greeblie for ROTJ
Greeblie is small, rectangular device with a raised circle, as pictured (and I'll take better photos, obviously). There is a metallic inner circle embedded in the raised circle. A translucent set of rectangular "keys" is attached to one end. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Greeblie keys are 5 rectangles Greeblie base color is grey OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Greeblie matches screen-used prop  
I'm pretty certain that the horizontal belt boxes should be deleted. I don't recall seeing them on screen at all.
 
There's also a variant for the belt which has two studs, rather than one! It's rare, only on one (maybe two!) troopers, but it should be included, too. The key to that one is that the buckle is the same height as the belt, as seen here:

 
On the gloves, they have three lines (not pinched), so we can copy the verbiage from the other CRLs with those style of gauntlet gloves.

Nice! The sideburns sell the look even more, I think.
