A good suggestion. Nothing ruins the Imperial image more than doing an inadvertent tap-dance on a glossy floor with smooth leather soles.

For the breaking in period, I'd suggest using boot hooks, a jack and some heel lifts. The lifts will help the back of your knee as the leather settles down. The wrinkles at the ankle can be straightened by using boot hooks when you pull the boots on... if its too tight at the calf, you can get a cobbler to stretch them or you can try using a plastic bag to help slip them on temporarily. And yes, it can be awkward to do stairs  No stairs on horses

This is so not canon but I decided to have a bit of fun and ordered a custom hoodie!

I noticed on the McCall's website for costumes.. they have one for Rey (M7421) and one for Kylo Ren (M7422). And a coat that might be useful in the Hux greatcoat (M7374) Might be of some help for people starting out with basics.
Anyways thought I'd mention these.

FIVE TROOPS IN FIVE DAYS
 
Hello Officers, Crew, and Troopers! My name is Biscuit, ID-39999, of the Central California Garrison and the IOC Morale Officer. I want to share a journey with you, to raise my spirits and hopefully show the power of what we do. Two weeks after retiring, my Mom, Dawn Salisbury, was informed that she had irreversible colon cancer. After a year of suffering, she died on May 1st, 2011, five years ago. We also recently lost a comrade, John Salles, a police officer, Iraq war veteran, and sci-fi fanatic. I decided that I would try to honor them both with 5 troops in 5 straight days, centered around the 5th anniversary of my Mom's passing and John's funeral. I am about to attend troop 4 this morning, so I will update this afternoon. As a thank you to you all, every single troop i'm in an Officer uniform of some type. Please save comment after i have posted troop 5 OF 5. Thank you for joining me, my sci-fi fantasy family!
