Confirmation of the hooks, and their purpose:

And since it's "thumbs" we can assume that there is one hidden among the blaster bits on his other side.

Which is why I was confused by the belt hook arrangement. Carry on, don't mind me! You seem to have it all in hand.

Did some tweeting with Glyn Dillon, and asked some of our lingering questions, here's his answers:
 

I won't post anything more here, to stop polluting this thread again (apologies for having done so).
I think we are all eager to have the CRL being offcial
But you are right about the code cylinders clips

Thank you for the tip about grey hair !!

I'm reading this thread since it was only 7 pages long ^^
Thank you for your advices, I will try to get him to sign here, but he already makes himself scarce on our French forum, I guess it will be even harder here
Anyway, thank you for your patience.

I stop flooding now ^^

Padding is in the tunic and not in the cape, if the padding was in the cape to look would be very different. I have two levels of padding in my tunic to get the same look
 

 

 
and as you can see the definition is there in the shoulders

It was submitted to BJ, with the holidays and the movie and the LMO out of the country I wasn't expecting anything until january at the earliest.  I'm sure if there's an update or items needed we'll hear.

Fellow Officers , here is a good article from the LA Times about Krennic's costume , it seems they got a few of the costuming department people to talk a bit . In short , we all already knew several capes had been made for the movie , it's obvious they just don't use one or two . So according to the article there were TWELVES different capes . Some more light-weight , some more heavy , some waterproof , basically one for every situations . And most likely a couple just in case one was dirtied during a shot or something .
They confirm the cape is white and not a light shade of grey , although they seemed to regret their decision at some point .

The only odd thing that strike me in the article is that they say the cape was made of gabardine , while the Celebration board states " cotton weave " .
So i suppose some were made from cotton , others from gabardine . I wish they would've made it clear which ones , or what the raincoat / poncho was made of .

That would be my assumption as its whats in the movie not a game 

And a third option. No Cape, No Hat, 6 red rank bard. (Flashback/Dream scene)

Have a look at my WIP, got pictures of my Krennic boots which might help you

Boots and belt are different from a standard officer

Boots have a buckle at the top set to towards the rear

Belt has a different grebel on it

But we have an officer with a six shooter and a cape, and a badass white tunic.

Fair enough , they made Kylo's gloves ... AND boots !

But although Krennic is defo a badass , i think the hype for Kylo was far superior . He had a lightsaber , a cool mask ... People always dig the masks and lightsabers . Oh well , we can hope

Not yet.  We thought they were just standard black leather gloves like...  ANH I believe - forgetting which one had unmarked backs, ANH or ROTJ - but then the Japanese poster came out (few pages back if you want to look) and we saw the snap.  I don't believe we will see them close enough until at least the VD, and maybe not until the Blu Ray comes out.  Someone up earlier thought they could identify them as a german officer glove (which would fit, half of his costume is german officer parts), but then the issue is finding them in proper condition - and that may be where we work with Imperial Boots or Wampa Wear (or both, whatever) to make them.  I'd say screen accurate gloves probably would be L2/L3, at least for a while until we can get makers making correct gloves.

Daetrin - Many thanks for clarifying and for sharing some of the inner workings of the IOC and 501st, now all makes perfect sense. 
 
Hopefully this crl discussion thread just further confirms to all how passionate we are about what we do and the costumes we build

I mistook your observations for opinions and for that i am sorry . 

Since your observations are entirely correct however , i think it might be a good idea to up the L1 standards as most people might resort to a soft costume like Krennic as a back-up and thus invest less time and money in the costume . Particularly since Krennic is a unique character and will likely stand out of the crowd because of the white tunic / the cape rather than blend in the mass and be overlooked . 

UnusedPizza basically summed up my opinion on the matter , i have nothing more to add regarding this debate . 

Not to be funny or anything but I think it is a little naive and slightly insulting (know you didn't mean it), with the research, time and money some of have invested in this costume, to say Krennic is not unique

Otherwise you could just take the existing ISB CRL and add a section for the cape

Krennic is going to be, if not already a very recognisable character from the film and is the main "bad guy"

Not to take anything away from all the non named officers, but they all look roughly the same, yes I know there are different colours and rank bars etc, how many officers in the films do you see walking around with capes on? Plus on a troop you'll only be able to have one Krennic out at a time

If that's not making him unique then I don't know.

Yes I agree we need to have a base level that we agree on and I know you can't please all of the people. However this is the reason we have armourers and start WIPs so that the people building costumes can get all the information and help to source all the bits and put it together. So with the rank bar when it is so obviously a push button type, then I feel it should be push button for l1 and you don't have an l2 or 3 for this item, if you look at the plexy version, it would look very wrong on krennic and out of place. Just because you don't know how to/can't make it or can't buy it in your own country isn't an excuse for not having it correct, for my Vader build I have had to order bits from all over the world.

For the cape, l1 white cape with split in back, l2 correct detailing and finish, l3 correct detailing, and material and colour

And so on

I know you probably know this but you're not going to be able to have l1, 2 and 3 for every part

Yes costuming with the 501st is open to everyone, however, the 501st has standards which means unfortunately this will make some costumes to expensive for some or it'll take them a long time to complete the build, if we sacrifice those standards then we'll end up with costumers wearing Rubies TK and Vader costumes they picked up at toys-r-us

Anyway just my opinion

And yes I think we need to mod the tarkin CRL to have slippers on it

The hat, if I remember correctly is only warn in the flash back, as he has a different rank bar, plus he doesn't have his cape in that. It is some sort of over coat, and he had another coat later on when it's Director, either way for me, the hat and over coat should be optional as the bulk of what we've seen he doesn't have them on.

Agreed on the Cape detailing, needs to match in detail and cut otherwise well end up with Krennics with all kinds of rubbish flapping around in the wind and looking wrong.

So, there's one SS of him somewhere with the Director Rank and the hat, again in the rain - could be flash back, could be something else, hard to say.  But every shot of him with the hat has also had the poncho - so I don't know if we want to have 2 CRL's, "regular" Krennic and "rain" Krennic, but I think the rain parts need to wait at least till the 16th for the movie and VD.

Cape - I went back and forth on this.  In my (albeit perfectionist opinion when it comes to this costume), I wanted L1 to require the cape to have all the details.  Like, ALL the details.  But I took a step back and realized that requiring the specific stitch patterns was probably something that was a higher level - we allow pleather boots at Level 1, so why would we require ABSOLUTE screen accuracy on something like a cloak?

That being said, I haven't reworded for the panels of the cloak, but yes, having had mine made (and gone though the process with my tailor, who I'm surprised didn't stab me with scissors numerous times when I wanted to change something), requiring the 6 panels and the yoke is not out of bounds IMHO.  It makes the cloak sit correctly and look correct.

Agreed the hat should be optional at this point though in the trailer he does wear one whilst at his later rank

Now I can't draw to save my life so excuse the primitive effort but I hope you all can see what I'm getting at the tab if it is there I believe would be to tighten up the glove 
 

I made edits to the top post based on all the discussions so far - I struck out what was there, and highlighted any inserts in bolded red text.

Glove's with snaps are easy to find that was my problem with getting glove's all the ones I wanted had snaps

Krennics collar is the same as all line officers the problem is at the moment no vendor has made the collar correct

Well we now know who this is
