ISS Version 2 Build Progress

[Zealot23]

Since I have no creative talent, and can't so anything for the life of me, I have to purchase my imperial officer uniform. I have found a site that actually sells a good majority of the costume, but I need to know if it is approved by the 501st Legion. Another site I found sells the boots and the gloves I need.

Hey Dalton,

While there are many different vendors that people use for their costumes, there are no '501st Approved' vendors.  I do know lots of people use Imperial Boots for their costume.

I would recommend signing up to the Imperial Officers Forum: https://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/ 
They would be a great resource on where to buy parts.

We also have some Imperial Officers in CCG that will probably chime in to help.

I have signed up for the Imperial Officer Forums, but I am still waiting for a Confirmation Email. I send a Request for one nearly Every day now, but I still haven't gotten one.
It is a little frustrating, but I am still trying to be Patient.

Also, any idea when another Meet and Greet will happen? Had to work today so I couldn't make it.

You should only need to send one request, which will get approved by a volunteer when they do their approvals. Being the weekend, people are probably just busy with personal life.

Not sure about the next meet/greet date.  We will post it on the forums when we have another one planned.

[Zealot23]

Understood.
But if I do not receive an email in about a Week, I'm going to send another request.

ImperialBoots.com is reputable - only issue is, they are based in China. So if something is wrong or off with the costume you ordered, it will take a long time for shipping to get it fixed. So if you order from there, triple check your measurements are good.

I did some research on ShadowDaleCreations on the Imperial Officer forums. Consensus is....steer clear.

If I can offer an alternative - a website many officer costumers have used is CosplaySky
https://cossky.com/products/star-wars-imperial-officer-uniform-costume-deluxe-version-new?_pos=4&_sid=fb226bf7e&_ss=r

Both my wife and I have Imperial officer uniforms from Cosplaysky - they required a little bit of tailoring but we are both very happy with them. It was the first 501st Legion costume I had and it's still holding up.

Additionally - CrowProps has done Imperial Officer boots in the past. If you need other accessories like belt, hat, rank bar, gloves, code cylinders - those can all be found on Etsy.

Final piece of advice - before you make any big ticket purchase and you want to be sure it's approvable, please contact a Garrison Membership Liaison (that would be me - I do the officer uniform approvals). I'd hate for you to drop big money on a part and it doesn't meet the 501st CRL standard.

Happy Hunting
