[Names I've been called while Trooping...]

Told to my wife while she was a handler at a troop for TFA premiere when she offered to take a lady's picture with her family, some TKs, and other characters; "I'm not much of a Trekkie, but okay!"

[Having some fun at the Force Awakens Premier]

We had a great time as well in our area. Now go and get approved already!!!!

[Moffs]

As it is now, I believe a hat would be required for basic approval. I think part of the problem with Moffs is that there's no consistent base for their uniform. Most Moffs portrayed on screen or in print had some different variations to their uniform.

[anovos]

I have not ordered from them. Not a big fan of their pre-order process. Now if I was a little smaller and jumped on the wagon a little earlier, I may have put in for a TK armor set when it was half off.

[Experience with vendors]

I think ANOVOS may have delivered some First Order trooper armor, but nothing in regards to OT trooper armor or uniforms. I'm pretty sure the forums will exlpode with information when they do finally deliver.

 

I've heard good things about Magnoli but I have no direct experience with them. Clothears does a very screen accurate ANH black officer uniform (451 version) from what I've heard and seen on some threads here. Also heard they have a considerable wait time though.

[Request to anyone close to Times Square]

What is the material used in the New Order flight suit and is that accurate to what will be onscreen? Looks like some kind of "pleathery" material.

[Rank and RotJ]

It seems more than just laziness, though, because everyone is doing it. Maybe it was casual Friday? Regardless, I'm wondering the same thing. I'm still referring to the CRL, it just seems curious to me.

I think he meant someone in the prop department got lazy.

[Star wars battlefront/force awakens]

Haven't played Battlefront. I bought the game only to find my computer can't handle it.

 

Looking forward to the movie as well. Will be trooping a lot that weekend.

[Officer's pockets?]

Flight suit has big pockets, but I only carry my phone for taking pictures. If there is no secure area to keep our gear, I may take my wallet and keys as well. Also slip my glasses on and off from time to time and keep them in one of the chest pockets.

[General Hux - Secondary Costume For Me?]

That's hard to say right now. Will just need to wait and see.

[General Hux - Secondary Costume For Me?]

I think you would make a great Hux. You don't have to look like his identical twin, but you do have a fair resemblance. Once the movie comes out and there is more source material to model the costume off of, I think you will be set (assuming you or someone puts one together).

[Cleaning a Museum Replicas Hat?]

I have one but have not cleaned it yet. My plan is to take off the greeblie and machine wash in cold water on delicate or perm. press. I will then shape it out while wet and let it air dry. If you have something resembling a mannequin head to place it on, that would be best. Otherwise, maybe a ball or a large melon.

You can maybe use a stain remover (Spray and Wash or the like) on the stain, but I would test it first on the fabric under the flaps to make sure it doesn't discolor the fabric.

You can also take to a dry cleaner and let them know about the stain.

[Officer's pockets?]

Some have hip and rear pockets that are hidden by the jacket. You can maybe keep a thin wallet and a small set of keys. Some (most?) pants also have belt loops you can run a belt through and you can clip the phone to the belt assuming it's not too bulky.

[Black officer hats]

From what I can tell, it does not have enough stitching in the bill. That being said, I would probably still buy and use for non costume stuff.

[Thoughts on this officer hat?]

I just received my Museum Replica hat from the same vendor. My head size was in between the sizes for large and extra large, so I went with the large one.This appears to have been the right call. If anyone orders these and is in the same predicament, go with the smaller size. 

 

   I steamed it out a little bit and gave it a once over with an iron. I'm currently wearing it right now to let my head shape it up a bit (I don't have a mannequin head).

[New General coming soon]

Hat kinda looks like a beanie with flair.

[Code Cylinders]

Captain Piett (before his "field promotion") and General Veers both wore a single code cylinder in the left pocket. So did Captain Needa. Only difference in the three is the rank boxes between the captains (three red top, three blue bottom) and General Veers (four red on top, four blue on bottom).

 

 

As stated, you can confirm with Google and YouTube as well. Piett is a little tricky as you need to look before he is promoted. When he becomes an Admiral, he wears three code cylinders (2 left pocket, 1 right).
