Awesome!  I wonder if they are the same pattern, just in black? I hope so, it will make the CRL's easier.  Also, will give us black officers a nice accessory.

Today I was able to make it to my first troop since becoming 501st official with my Staff Officer Uniform. The parade is televised by WSB Channel 2 here in Atlanta. My wife watched the parade from home and snagged a pic of me on TV. (A little blurry) I'd say it was a good first troop!  

I know growing up I'd wished my Dads belt had safety training!!


Thanks!

Remember, you don't HAVE to have the Belt Boxes and Pistol for approval - you can add those later and get them approved.  Just so you remember that once you have the required items, you are ready to submit.

I made edits to the top post based on all the discussions so far - I struck out what was there, and highlighted any inserts in bolded red text.

The CRL for Tarkin requires grey hair pulled back , both Isard CRL require black and white hair + blue and red eyes for Ysanne and finally the Daala CRL requires ginger hair and green eyes , just saying ...
If it bothers some that you are asked to replicate a character's appearance and claim it's discriminating , they should've done so a long time ago ...
You can wear a wig , you can use temporary dyes , you can wear lenses , there are many options , nobody is asking you to wear permanent dye or anything . I even think the CRLs states that if you can't wear lenses for medical reasons you can skip that requirements , so there are no excuses .

Yoda said : Do or do not , there is no try . Do only half the efforts on your costume you should not .

I think grey hair and blue eyes should be L1 requirements like with all the other costumes .

Well, on the topic of gloves, the new character poster shows some more details. Looks like they have a snap. I think I also see the end of a long sleeve under his tunic too.
 

Apologies to Cass as she did notice the buckle (I need off this medication)
 
 
 

I think the rank bar is more " compact " but the tiles are pretty much the same . Since they reduced the spacing between the tiles and on the borders they probably managed to get it 1cm shorter or something .
Krennic doesn't seem to be a tall guy judging by the overall size of his uniform which was on display at several cons and his appearance on the live panel in London , but Ozzel and Piett are even smaller so the rank bar appear a little bigger on them

I beg to differ on the buckle thingy , i mentioned it several times right after Celebration as this detail was one of those which really got the attention of my WW2 Reenactor eye ( Along with Krennic's blaster being a Maschinenpistole 38 and the Officer's trench coats in the trailer being German rubber motorized infantry coats )
 

I think i also made note of the size of the sole which appears to be thicker than our average thin equestrian boots , i'm pretty certain those are actual military marching boots , and the buckle at the back and the rectangular stitching on the sides , i've seen them a lot before . Also , given how Rogue One uses a lot of WW-2 era material for the costumes , i'm 99% sure of it when i say :
Krennic's boots are reproductions of WW2 German Officer's boots , minus steel toe cap .

Looking familiar ?

 

As in "comply with it". 

Seeing that Anovos still hasn't shipped any of the OT Officer uniforms or parts (that were paid for prior to C: Anaheim), you may be waiting until Episode IX has been released...

For the specific stitching/seams, I plan for it to be quite simple (marching overall appearance/look) for basic approval and more specific/detailed for L2/L3. We're not close enough to set minimum barebones guidelines yet, but highly recommend making it as accurate as possible. It's usually easier putting that extra effort into it from the get-go, than adding it later on.  

Or, you know, what's appropriate for the story....

Don't think its us they are thinking about its more how many toys can we sell

One character, three variants, someone at Lucasfilm loves us/hates us.

Krennics collar is the same as all line officers the problem is at the moment no vendor has made the collar correct

Just FYI: Contact lenses are never a basic requirement for the reasons Kris mentioned. 
Also, keep in mind this thread is all just a draft with a lot of good brainstorming.

I fully understand the reasoning behind looking like the characters, but we're excluding black people, asian, religious people (sikhs, hindu, jewish) and exceptions have to be made by the Legion as to not discriminate per the Charter. If the costume is 100% to the CRL, we should approve despite physical looks. You wouldn't expect a black person to go in white-face makeup just as a white person in blackface. That's offensive.
 
Per the LMO via PM this morning: 
"I would expect the non-discrimination policy to trump a CRL (i.e. if the person has a religious reason not to shave, then an exception would be made to accommodate). My recommendation would be for the GML to bring it to the LMO to get sign off on the exception and note it in the member's approval.  - Brian"

Regarding requirements of hair color and eye color, I think the existing IOC CRLs are a good example to follow. It would make sense to me to class Director Krennic with General Hux and Grand Moff Tarkin when considering CRL requirements.
 
Hair color and style seems to be a consistent requirement, which makes sense because it is a prominent feature that is readily visible in pictures.
Eye color is only mentioned when the color is not natural, and is a striking and defining characteristic of the character, as with Grand Admiral Thrawn.
 
Examples include:
 
General Hux: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_General_Hux
Facial appearance must closely match General Hux with red hair combed to the side, medium sideburns, and no facial hair.  
Grand Admiral Thrawn: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_thrawn
All exposed skin is colored blue with theatrical make-up. Hair is close-cropped and black. For level two certification (if applicable):
Hair looks natural, and is styled in a way as to not give the appearance of a wig. Optional Accessories
Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below.
 
Eye Color; For 501st approval:
Red theatrical contact lenses. While encouraged to complete the look of this character, the contact lens requirement will be waived for 501st acceptance, if the applicant cannot wear contact lenses for health related reasons. All persons wishing to utilize contact lenses are encouraged to first see their optometrist for a fitting. For level two certification (if applicable):
The entire eye is red.
 
Grand Moff Tarkin: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:ID_grand_moff_tarkin
Hair is grey with a receding hairline. Eyes and cheekbones appear gaunt and darkened. Either naturally or through makeup effects. For level two certification (if applicable):
Facial appearance and hair match very closely to that of Peter Cushing in ANH.  

Admins, if I picked the wrong area, please feel free to move this to the correct one.
 
I had started this when the Rogue One trailer premiered, and have gotten more since both the EW photo shoot and SWCE3 where the costume was on display, as well as Ben Mendelsohn wearing it in the Rogue One panel.  I figure putting it on hear starts the process of anyone who saw something different.
 
For reference photos, until my photog guy comes back with better, I am going on the following album for closeups, as she did an excellent job:

Well we now know who this is 

Definitely for carrying their smokes. You'll notice by the time the FO has risen to power, smoking has become a bit of a taboo..hence why those Officers don't wear boxes. They do however appear to be avid fans of Vaping!


Four of them...this guy has a serious habit!

I think the seam was just continued until then and then reinforced at that point where the two split with horizontal stitching.
 
And you're welcome. Its a gorgeous costume. Was easy to shoot. Kept going back to it for more detailing. Took more photos of this than any other costume.
