    I’m so torn with this, despite my last post. 
    I agree that the intent of the costume is that the officers are wearing regular riding boots. In saying that though, it’s clear from the references that not all of them are. 
    As a serving military member, I can say that sometimes we have options with footwear. There are the issued boots which all look the same, and we can also go out and buy boots that are actually comfortable to wear as long as they meet the safety guidelines and look similar. I don’t wear my issued boots and if someone were to look closely they would see that. 
    What I’m saying is that in a real world situation it’s not uncommon to see some variation in footwear. 
    In this case though it’s obviously a budget issue, stores availability, time restriction or something like that. I don’t think the average person was ever meant to notice, but we are hardly the average person here!
    I think I’ve come around on the FO boots. But if they are to be included I vote that should only be permissible at the basic level, nothing higher. 
    But that’s just my (amended) two cents.

    WIki entry is complete for the moment. We need a costume description, though.   
     
    For the record, here's what we have so far:
     
    Required Costume Components The following costume components are present and appear as described below.
       
    Hair and facial appearance Costumer is clean shaven  
     
    Hat, White Cloth is a medium-weight suit material that matches the tunic and pants perfectly. Weaving in gabardine style is the most accurate. Color matched to tunic and trousers. The base of the hat is tapered, with a crown approximately 4" (101.6mm) high. Front and rear "flaps" overlap at the sides and are approximately 4 inches (101.6mm) high. The front beak extends down 3 inches and is decorated with (5) (6) or (7) concentric stitches. Imperial Code Disk in the center of the front vertical "flap". At the bottom of the front flap there is a red stripe 1.5cm wide, the same red as the stripes on the sleeves. Gold-toned vertical bars divide the belt into smaller rectangular sections. Each rectangular section is accented by gold-toned round in its center.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The code disc has a notch on the outermost disc. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Code Disk exactly matches the prop used by the screen.  
       
    Tunic White fabric is a mid-weight suit fabric that matches the pants perfectly. The tunic is double breasted with a left-over-right closure at the tapered yoke. The yoke extends over the shoulder to the upper shoulder seam. The stand-up collar has square corners with a left-over-right center closure. The collar contains a modesty panel. The tunic has medium gray matt satin piping. On each shoulder are rectangular epaulettes in the same gray as the piping. The epaulettes have the dimensions 12.5cm x 7cm The sleeves are long and without cuffs or buttons. Sleeves contain 1 seam, on the inside. On both sleeves there are two rank bands made of gray faux leather in the same gray as epaulettes and piping. The tunic is constructed without topstitching (seams are visible on the outer surface of the fabric). The back of the tunic has a seam that runs down the center of the tunic from the neck to the hem. There is a slit on the back of the tunic that runs from belt level to the floor. On the outside of the sleeves, two parallel red stripes, as wide as the rank stripes, run the length of the sleeve from the epaulette to the cuff. The total width of the two stripes ends with the width of the epaulette. On the right chest is the Kamino Doctors patch. Additional tunic detail can be found here.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The collar is approximately 3.175 cm (1.25") to 6.35 cm (2.5") OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Tunic fastens on the right side with snaps or buttons. No stitching is visible anywhere. A lining is sewn in. The shoulder lines look very straight.  
       
    Trousers White fabric is a medium weight suiting fabric that matches the tunic perfectly. The trouser legs are straight, without rider flaps, and are worn tucked into the boots. Pockets are acceptable but must not be visible when the tunic is on.  
     
    Rank Bar The rank bar is worn on the left side of the tunic over the piping. Rank consists of colored plastic tiles mounted in a frame panel. The rank bar consists of three tiles in a row, one blue tile on the right and two red tiles on the left.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The bar is approximately 1⅛" (28.6 mm) high. The length of the frame plate is approximately 6 cm (2⅓") wide The dimensions of the rank plates are approximately ⅝" (16 mm) wide x ⅞" (22 mm) high.  
       
    Belt The belt is made from a non-textured brown leather or leather-like material in the same brown as the boots and is approximately 51mm wide. There are no loops on the belt. The buckle has rounded corners and is made of a horizontally brushed metal or metal-like material. The buckle is embellished with a Republican code disc in the center. The code disc is a stepped cone shape that looks like 2 discs stacked on top of each other. • The larger disc is 1.4 inch (3.5 cm) and the smaller disc is 1 inch (2.5 cm).  
     
    Boots The boots are made of brown leather or leather-like material, the same brown as the belt. If stretch inserts or zippers are present, they must be hidden on the inner shaft. Boots have a wider arch on either side of the ankle. The upper edge of the shaft is shaped as a cuff.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Boots do not have a zipper. Boots are made of leather.  
       
    Optional Accessories Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below. If adding in an accessory after initial approval, the item still needs to be submitted to local GML for approval before use.
     
    Gloves Gloves are made of brown leather or leather-like material, the same brown as boots and belts. Gloves can be plain or have 3 stitch lines on the back of the hand.  
     
    DC-15S Blaster Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DC-15S is smaller than the DC-15A blaster rifle. Although it has a shorter range than the "A" model, it is easier to handle with a higher rate of fire. It features a folding stock for braced shooting.
    Realistic clone style DC-15S blaster. Blaster can be custom built out of plastic, wood, metal or cast in resin. Blaster has realistic Episode II or Episode III details: wire frame sight, collapsible storage. Twelve (12) radiator fins evenly spaced along the length of the cylinder. Igniter detail buttons. Load the magazine clip on the right. The overall length is approximately 26" (66 cm). Due to the scaling, the Hasbro version is wrong.  
    OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The detail of the loading magazine on the clip is gun metal color gun metal. Detail studs and screws are gun metal gray in color. Ignition knobs have some copper tint. Blaster is weathered. The code disc has a notch on the outermost disc. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Working blue LED is installed in the barrel.

    Thanks Rikki, and apologies to others for not seeing this earlier. 
    As an update to the CRL, it was given the green light to go ahead by the LMO team some time ago now and I, as the IOC LMO, am just waiting for the wiki to be populated with the relevant text and images by the CRL team. 
    Once this is done it should be a fairly quick process to go through all the usual checks for spelling and grammar and set it live!

    Looking good @RobinKrennicDutch and @7959!
    I think we should look into getting some higher res screen grabs if possible. Also paying particular attention to anything that’s different to other officers. This will be to see if we can justify a unique CRL for Rampart, hopefully we can!
    Then we can start with the wording of the CRL text which members can discuss and refine before we create the ‘Finalising CRL Proposal’ thread.

    I would like for the ONLY difference for the components of this costume is that the tunic is cream colored... other than that, I would want it to be the same as the security services word for word.

    I'll post as many references as I can this weekend.

    I would not mind seeing the version three and a straight pants version stand along as a non saga ISB to be in line with our security services and military uniforms.  it would complete the set of the available uniforms for the new Disney era costumes.

    Hey Edward,

    Thanks so much for your insightful post! It seems like you've done quite a bit of research into developing this costuming project and it's truly appreciated.
    I have taken the request to the LMO discussion with the second LMO for the IOC @shadan and the wonderful IOC Detachment Leaders @buckrogersbarker & @kman and their invaluable CRL lead @Hoda to discuss the different views with everyone. It's then upto the Detachment Command to decide if they want to submit a poll request to the LMO team.

    I would like to suggest sharing some of the references you've collected in your studies to help us visualize this request.

    If there's anything else we can do to assist, please let us know

    ALL the ranks should be permissible for any uniform, especially when there is long standing examples of various ranks throughout the years.  This is the Imperial officer corps, not the Original Trilogy club.

    That said, what would you say to the ISB being split like we have with the security services and the staff.

    We preserve the past with the OT uniforms and allow the configurability with ISB much like we did with the non saga CRLs.

    We have done it with green and black... how about we do it with the ISB?

    PLUS, honestly, the only real outlier here is the ANH tunic. ANH has both straight leg and jodhpurs to set precedent already. 
    I know I'm preaching to the choir here. 
    Following your logic, we:
    -preserve V1 and V2.
    -Give V3 its own Non Saga CRL, and make V1 jodhpurs, and V2 straight leg/chelsea boots.

    I was contacted today and LFL have finally come back to us with info on the Sith Eternal.  The back of the tunic is a straight cut, not pleated, and there are two vertical seams on the back all the way down to the bottom edge of the tunic similar to the FOSB.

    Interfacing is what you want. Although I have not yet attempted this on my WampaWear kit. 
    I believe there used to be a thread about applying interfacing somewhere here, or perhaps someone else could chime in with more info on how this is done.
