Premonitions?... Premonitions you say... hmmmm
HAHA

Give me a few days I will post up the picture on how I pin it and stuff >___<

Read the note down the bottom. Red blocks can be added etc.

On your garrison page, it got shared somewhere.

Eyeing references, Phil's suit, and the words donated by @Paggeldiwwer and @nocternus ... here is the first go I have of it.  I really want more eyes on the accessories bits, as I am not entirely sure I like the wording on them.  I have also asked Dawn Bright to examine the tunic wording.
 
THIS IS ONLY A FIRST DRAFT
 
Description: ANH Staff Officer
Prefix: ID
Detachment: Imperial Officer Corps 
Context: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Black uniformed officers that provided a commanding presence among the legions of Stormtroopers. These ambitious officers not only serve aboard starships and military installations, but their leadership roles often inspire troops in battle. This very specialized costume is specific to Star Wars: A New Hope, and is informally known off-screen as the "451 uniform".
 
  Hat, black
For 501st approval: Fabric is a medium weight black suiting material matching the pants and tunic. Base of the hat is conical, with a crown about 4" (101.6 mm) tall. Front and rear "flaps" overlap on the sides and are about 4" (101.6 mm) high. Front bill extends 3" down, decorated with 5, 6 or 7 concentric stitches. Dimensions of the hat are are relative and proportional to the costumer. Imperial Code Disk is positioned in the center of the front vertical flap.

The back of the tunic's replicated double-breast opens at both lower pleats. Yoke closes up across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam. The standing collar has square corners and is approximately 1.6" (40.6 mm) tall and closes snugly. There are code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket from about half way between the top and bottom of the arm hole. Sleeves are long, and without decoration, containing 2 seams; one along the bottom and one along the back. The rear seam opens at the cuffs at a length of approximately 3" (75mm) Tunic should be constructed with top-stitching only in these specific areas and nowhere else: Approximately 0.25 inches (6mm) from the outer edges of the double breast front and back. Approximately 1" (2,54mm) from the outer edge of the double breast front and back. Directly underneath the edge of the code cylinder pockets. Fasteners on the uniform are not be visible.

ACD got the General Veers costume (transformed into AT-AT Commander) because he commanded the AT-AT forces.  That was before my time, and I'll not comment on whether or not I agree with it.  Nor do I particularly wish to rehash that debate.
 
That does not mean that every single officer costume with battle armor necessarily goes to ACD.  Their mandate, specifically is " ... facilitates the Research, Archiving, Development & Creation for all Imperial Ground Assault Vehicle Operators/Commanders of the Star Wars saga."  Not "Anyone with officer uniform and chest armor" 
 
In the case of these officers such as Rebels Thrawn, Pryce, etc, that already have existing costumes represented, they are seen donning battle armor once or twice on screen, and not specifically and only to command ground assault vehicles.  It makes more sense to me, and the current LMO Team, to simply add in said Battle Armor as an optional accessory to their respective CRL.  Once someone actually make it to reference, that is.

I've been alerted, and can take it from here.

I think these movies set during or near the original trilogy will bring more order to the rank system than there ever was with the original films.
 
Can't wait.  It's exciting.

I am a tailor/seamstress who would be interested in being listed - I've made a few different costumes for IOC members - Krennic, First Order General Hux, Imperial Officer, and Emperor Palpatine - it appears most of the parts I made only go up to Level 2 - but I always make each part to the highest level certification, often including more details that aren't even in the CRL yet.
 
I'll message Kris!

I will send it in over the weekend

I agree as well. Definitely enough difference to make a new crl

Since the "imperial pattern" exists for staff officers in RotJ, Rogue One and uncountable comic, computer games and so on, it'll be a L2 thing to call for a Special form of the rank bar. If you like tp replicate an officer from some Comics you might have to wear an "imperial pattern" as well as you have to choose the double rank bar. If it should be a character from ANH, then you have to have an "451-pattern"-tunic and only a single rank bar would be allowed.
 
But this topic should care about 451-tunics. The rank-bar-thing concerning the imperial tunic should be discussed in the specific thread then.

Nocternus, thanks for the Facebook tag. Got this added immediately.

I'm of course not talking about putting an animated Rebels style Rank Bar on a normal Staff Officer uniform. I don't talk about their Design, only their ranks not mixing something animated with something from real world.

Hello fellow Officers,
 
I just thought that some of you may be interested to know that another Thrawn book, written by Timothy Zahn, is in the works!! I am super pumped with the announcement. The book is called Thrawn: Alliance, and features another SW favorite, Darth Vader
 
Check out the announcement here:

For the rectangle part on how to sew it on.

If you see the red doted line. I use the detail sewing to sew the rectangle part to the top cape. 

Too quick Sean, i was typing the same thing right now  
 
Interesting detail on his belt. To me it seems to be a straight metal plate and he has multiple belt holes. 

we won't have to wait long.  We will be getting a lot of clear photos very soon.
 
It is also NOT unlikely that we can just get the character model like Dave Filoni gives the public for characters for Rebels.  

You just bumped Leia up my reading list.
 
I think we could have a "generic" CRL with options for Versio as L2

Ticks all my boxes from what I have seen of the references 

Done up the drafting. Will have to try out the pattern soon (or when there is time) 

My tunic and cloak both came from Magnoli. They will not add any attachments to the tunic, and only put two small magnets into the cape.
 
I tried at first to attach it to the tunic, by adding magnets, but the dry cleaner melted the plastic casing I used to sew them on. So I removed them all, and sent both to a seamstress I found on Etsy who added clear plastic snaps the both items.
 
There are 4 on the front, and two on the back centered on the the seam on both the tunic and cloak.
