For me personally the big question on whether or not to go with Anovos is what color uniform you want. If you plan on doing a black uniform, there are many sources of uniforms out there that are much cheaper then Anovos and will be just fine for approval. While there are slight differences in shades of black, for the most part black is black is black, and no one will notice a difference in shades.
If you plan on going with the olive green uniform, the big question then is how much of a stickler are you for the color. Remember, since no one has actually gotten a uniform from Anovos yet, this is all still speculation. If you want what is probably the best recreation of the color used in the movies, then you will want to go with Anovos. There are plenty of other vendors out there that sell olive uniforms cheaper, but the color isn't 100% right, though they are is perfectly acceptable. If you are a real stickler for getting the best color possible, like me, then your only real option is Anovos right now, unless you source the fabric yourself and have a uniform made.
Years ago, my husband tried to get approved using an olive green uniform made by a local costumer and a hat that he ordered from someone else. He was denied membership solely due to the two shades being slightly different. That was my primary motivation to order the Anovos set, since all of the pieces should match.
