Sorry there was a typo, right now there is no mention of grooves, I dont want to add the need at basic but I have no issue adding them to Level 2
Yes, I definitely think grooves should be added for L2. Near as I have seen, ALL Imperial belts, from ROTJ forward, had grooves.

Autumn "Darth Atroxa" D., requesting an advisor in the Alberta, Canada area for help with a "Republic Officer The Clone Wars".
(Looking for commission, no time to make my own)Hi Autumn: That particular costume is quite new... I don't believe there are any major vendors who sell them readily. I'll ask around and see if I can find someone who knows more about them, however.

Following a question do we want to and groves on the belt for level 2?
What are you asking?

I have a belt on order so wanted to make sure grooves were in it before I ordered it. From what I have seen in the screen shots, it appears there are grooves in the R1 Officer belts. Can anyone else confirm this?
Rogue One Officer belts did indeed have ROTJ-style grooves in them yes. As did Solo and Mandalorian.

You probably need full custom. Crow Props is a good source for the boots, in your situation.
I'd probably look at MazCave on Etsy for the uniform. They're full tailors (and very skilled) and should be able to assist you.
Good luck!

Are we still looking at January for this? What's the current draft?
I was worried about this bit:
OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):
- Push button tiles are larger for Rogue One/Solo (approximately 15 mm wide, 21 mm tall, and 3.2 mm deep) Smaller OT size for The Mandalorian.
Mandalorian I thought has had a mix of OT and R1 sizes?

Great shots of Moff Gideon. I know she's not mentioned in your post, but I've not been able to tell whether the female comms officer has jodhpurs or trousers/slacks. I'd assume jodhpurs since it's an olive uniform, but appreciate if anyone has managed to capture a shot for verification.
Yes, all the Olive-uniformed officers have Jodphurs, so far.

It is not Disney. Anyone can do screenshots if your video accelerator settings are correct. I have taken several hundred screenshots of various moments over 2 seasons and of several movies.
It IS Disney. (And many other companies, but Disney is what we're discussing) They purposely make it difficult, to combat piracy.
Difficult for non-tech-savvy users, that is. Those who know how can always circumvent the protections.

Those dual holsters behind the back are gonna be super awkward when you want to sit LOL

What's a good source for an SE-14r resin kit?
Not cheap, but I believe this shop is fairly reputable. I've never seen their blaster in person, however, so if you decide to go for it, let us know!

Looks great! Do we have good images of the lower body, as well?

Looks good! For the pants bunching up due to the tall boots, the most popular option is to have simple elastic stirrups sewn into the bottom of the pant legs. They keep the pants nice and tidy every time, with zero effort! If you or someone you know even has the most rudimentary sewing skills, they're easy to sew in, else any tailor or seamstress can do it very easily and it shouldn't cost much.
I literally sew in some 1" elastic and it's done, like this:

First of all, thank you very much for your answers/explanations!
Yes, I'm sure no one would mind.
But actually, I interpret "optional" as meaning that I may or may not carry a weapon that is listed in the CRL, right?But weapons that are not even listed in the CRL are simply not part of this costume...
And I think that's a pity especially for this costume...because as far as I know, it would be the first (imperial) costume that would be allowed to wear this blaster.
In the end, it's a question for your GML, and whether they are ok with you carrying a blaster that's not explicitly allowed in the CRL.
That said, I'm not really against adding it to the CRL, in general principle. I do recall the thread Jeff is speaking of, but finding that discussion would be a chore.
All that said, having trooped with the A280 in my Rebel Spy days (LOL) as an Endor Trooper, I can definitely say they're not a lot of fun to carry during a long troop. And these days, I prefer blasters that are a little more obviously SciFi (and less AR15 looking), given how often idiots call the police these days...

A friend of mine and I are making the holster ourselves and I am already printing the blaster out of resin. I am looking forward to wear it! It's awesome that officers finally have to option to wear a blaster themselves. What do you guys think about that new possibility?
Officers have long been able to wear blasters... just not all officers, and not all blasters, or course.
I've been wearing an MSP5 with my Staff Officer from the start. I could wear the DH17 but I prefer the MSP5. And of course Krennic and some others have had blasters all along, as well.
That said this is the first time the Line Officers have carried blasters (on screen, anyway... comics, as always, are another story). Nice for them to have the option.
I prefer the OT setup for my own use... but if someone wants to go for the Rogue One / Solo / Mandalorian look, and carry a blaster, I have nothing against that.
And hey, you never know when I might want that option, too. (Which is why I'm printing an SE-14R right now, LOL!)
Frankly, though, considering how many events aren't allowing blasters at all anymore, I'm happy to have a blaster-less costume that's still thoroughly Imperial yet doesn't feel incomplete without the blaster. I just can't get used to trooping my TK without a blaster.

Point being, on the off chance there's something to add from yesterday's new episode (not saying one way or the other), it needs to wait until next week.
@lantern2745 do you suppose Wednesday is good enough? That's a solid 5 days... and anyone who waits until Wednesday (barely two days before the next one drops!) should just avoid the thread. At least it's easier to avoid here than on FB, where the previews give everything away...

LOL interesting... so you just added some padding inside, essentially? Seems to have worked well enough! And that material is washable, so it's more durable than the interfacing options.
How do you iron it, though?

The mix of OT and Rogue One rank tile sizes is killing me. Updating the CRLs to accommodate this is going to be tricky.
And come on, give them more than two ranks! LOL
I love the addition of the holster and blaster, though. It's about time!
All that said, I've already made a 2x2 rank bar for reference.
-
@HaskAny change you can highlight the areas that have changed from the existing CRL, so we don't have to review every line?
Given that the latest episodes have shown a mix of OT and R1 rank tile sizes, I think we're going to need to adjust the L2 wording you have.

Some CRL's have detail pages for certain parts. Like the ANH tie pilot helmet page. Maybe we should make those for the rank bars, code cylinder, code disk, and belt boxes. Ide be happy to help write that!
There already is a detail page for the rank bars on some CRLs. I think it needs to be updated, however, as it only includes OT rank bars, last I checked.
I honestly don't think the belt boxes and code disks justify a detail page. Maybe the code cylinders could, but if we include too much information, over-zealous GMLs start getting out rulers.

1) I'm not sure if that belt is acceptable. It looks... very cheap. You may need to ask your local GML whether they would approve that one, because it's ultimately their decision.
2) The code cylinders look quite good. I can't see the ends (the blue tip side) to be 100% sure, but I would guess they will clear all the way to level 3.
3) That is a very basic rank bar, and doesn't look especially well made, however. Much better if you can get one that uses real push buttons rather than the acrylic tiles. It might be approvable at the basic level, but definitely no higher.
If you're looking for other vendors, we can assist, just ask!
