Hey all, just so this is posted for all to see, here is the final text of the CRL, which I will be submitting to the LMOs in the next day or two.  If I've missed something (something actually planned for this round, as we've had a number of discussion above about changes we'll address in the future), y'all have a couple of days to pipe up.
 
As a reminder, the goal of these revisions is to fold in the option for straight pants and Chelsea boots (the "Social Officer" configuration) as a tabbed alternative, like we did with the Olive Military Officer (Non-Saga) CRL, and to align the language used between the two main non-saga Officer CRLs.  The actual changes are quite minor language tweaks for clarity, not really changes to actual requirements.  The Military Officer CRL, after all, was largely revised from this same source text.
 
(The one really minor change yet to come may be to the Gloves portion, depending on how the LMOs recommend we structure it.  We want to require them for the full v1 formal version, since we have seen *zero* on-duty officers in black without gloves to date, but make them optional for the v2 "social" variant, since they were NOT wearing gloves in that scene.  They're listed twice, as a result, which is a little odd, but we'll see if the LMOs have a better organizational suggestion.)
 
 
[Editing post, the forum completely borked ALL formatting *sigh*]
 
EDIT: Updated text added to the post below.  If I have to reformat text from scratch that one more time, I think I'll jump off a pier LOL

True! and the one from Crow Props isn't... absurdly expensive. My local garrison looks light on olives, so I was leaning that way. But, I must admit, I love to flounce around in a cape and the poncho is the closest I think I'll ever get!

Sorry for the delays in getting this mega revision off the ground... merging the CRL wordings was tricky, and I managed to somehow lose my initial drafts.  Between dealing with other CRLs (like the new Army Operations Officer), life, covid, and the holidays, and finally giving up the hunt for my prior work and doing it all over again, things took longer than I liked on this.
 
But I've now re-done the hardest parts, and should be ready to submit something to the LMOs before long.

Page 122 of the R1 Visual Guide, for future reference.
 
You raise a good point about the OT-style gauntlets (although slightly different as OT gauntlets did not have that expansion pleat at the bottom of the cuff), but only in the context of adding the navy trooper helmet configuration to this CRL.  But we're holding off on merging that configuration into this particular CRL, for now, so we can focus on the more critical elements of the base costume.
 
In future revisions, however, we'll need to determine how to fold in those gloves, in a configuration reserved for the Navy trooper-helmeted characters, I think.  (Since non-helmeted/standard officers have never been seen with the gauntlet gloves).
 
And I've not seen Navy trooper helmeted-characters with ponchos, to date.  That might be yet another reason to keep the hard armor in a separate CRL, but that's a debate we can have at a more suitable time.

I'm not sure where those images and names came from, but not the current rank chart used by the IOC.
 
Long story short, though, there's quite a bit of inconsistency between films because they had different costume designers who did not necessarily respect precedent.  There are a number of variations of spacing used on various rank bars.  Essentially if you are trying to replicate a particular officer's rank for a Level 3 approval, you would do well to emulate their specific spacing as well.
 
Meanwhile, the most current rank chart can be found here:
 
 
I have unpinned this current thread, as well, and added this updated link to the OP, to help reduce future confusion.

There really was no guesswork and no messy decisions, there.  I'm not sure why you keep bringing the Solo Navy Trooper back in.  I personally took screenshots FROM THE ACTUAL MOVIE that showed it more than clearly enough, especially in combinations with what we know from other sources, including the actual prop makers from the movie.  They're posted right in the thread.  Why is this one so troublesome for you?

This may help:
 
 

You’re half right there. I am irritated yes. But mostly by the double standards that are keeping a costume out of this legion. A costume that I myself would dearly love to do for the legion. I did state that way back in this thread. So not really to do with me knowing said costumer as much as people want to believe.

Edit to add:

No, I don’t begrudge any detachment for getting costumes approved. Any examples I’ve brought up, are not in hate of “these shouldn’t be part of the legion” - more in tone as “these are exactly why this costume SHOULD get approval”

Apologies for the delays in the final CRL website build, photo collection and preparation, but the full CRL was sent off to the LMO team for formal approval today.  If they require any changes to the proposed text, we will negotiate that, else as soon as they approve it, the CRL will go live.
