So my new Chelsea Boots have just been delivered, and they are Perfect,

But,

They are a Little bit Tight around the feet. Luckily they are Leather, so they will stretch out in time, plus, I could Also just wear several pairs of socks

[Zealot23]

Sighs...

So, I am not really in the Best of Moods.

I have been posting Purchases and Progress reports, hoping to get Some Feedback, or some Affirmation that it is Acceptable to join the Legion.

Not a Peep.

I have Tried to get in Contact with Vaughn or CJ, but it is Almost as if they have Disappeared off the face of the planet. Not to mention the fact that I can't even send messages to Anyone to begin with, so, what the heck?

Now I Know that everyone is there own Person, and that they have their own live outside of the 501st, but this is a HUGE Deal for me, and I need to make sure that my uniform is Perfect...!

So yes, Very, VERY Frustrated...

Hi Dalton,

I understand that this could be really frustrating. Your enthusiasm to get this costume done is awesome, and I look forward to seeing it finished! As you said though, people have other commitments and not everyone from Star Wars Oregon is going to be familiar enough with your specific build to have the knowledge to give you the answers you need.

The best place to get specific and quick feedback on a costume is by making a build thread in the detachment forums: https://www.imperialofficer.com/ Please note that even then it can take time for people to respond.

For your trousers I’d suggest buying them from CosSky too so that they match the fabric of the rest of your uniform, otherwise even if you find something close it’ll never quite match. Also, if your boots are tight, try wearing them around the house wearing a thin slippery sock, or even nylons, inside of a thicker sock so you can stretch them without getting blisters!

Best of luck getting the rest of it together!

Hi Infern0,

 Firstly I just want to say thank you very much for reaching out and contacting me. It has given me some hope back.

As for the uniform itself, I already have a whole Cossky imperial officer uniform ordered. I just can't seem to find good pants that would go with it. In case you aren't aware I need the straight uniform paint variant instead of the Jodphur riding breeches.

Do you have any suggestion of what I could order from the website? If you do I'll be most grateful

I have Tried to get in Contact with Vaughn or CJ, but it is Almost as if they have Disappeared off the face of the planet. Not to mention the fact that I can't even send messages to Anyone to begin with, so, what the heck?

Dalton, I have not received any messages from you and had no idea you were trying to contact me. Like Garrett said, please be patient with our replies. I have been out of state, now tending to a sick family member, and dealing with the stress of a promotion at work.

As for your questions above - the Amazon pleated pants will not be approvable. The CRL states:

*Fabric is a black medium weight suiting material.
*Pockets are acceptable, although not visible with the tunic on.
*Pants are neatly pressed or ironed, but with no creases.
*Version One pants are straight leg in style and rest on the top of the shoes without bunching or giving any sloppy appearance.

The Imperial Officer forum may lend more sources for the parts you are seeking. The CosSky costume parts have met approval in the past, as long as they fit correctly. The pants are approvable from them. If you can find a tailor and gabardine material, pants can also be made.

Im not sure what your timeline is for putting this costume together - sounds like you are in quite the rush?

[Zealot23]

I have been trying to find ways to contact you, but whenever I click on your profile, it says that I'm not allowed to.
 I have already ordered a full uniform from Cossky, it's just taking a while.
Also I'm not in a rush, I'm just anxious to finally get my outfit done and join.

Another thing, I would like to apologize for coming off as impatient, rude, rushing, or invading of personal space.
Unfortunately I have Asperger syndrome, Meaning I am a little awkward around meeting new people and what not.

 As for my outfit itself, if you are not in the loop, I'm currently trying to piece together an imperial security services officer, version two more specifically, with the straight pants, not the riding breeches

The Pants are the Last Piece I need!

Ok - now I understand. Thank you for explaining!

So, the bad news: the CRL states the pants must match the material of the jacket. Without the jacket in hand, you might be wasting money if you buy pants ahead of time that won’t work. In the meantime do continue to find your other accessories.

My advice - wait until you get your CosSky uniform, then go shopping at Ross, Goodwill, or TJ Maxx, Fred Meyer, etc… you might find the straight leg pants that match your jacket. However, the jodhpurs pants that come with your CosSky order are approvable for the version 1 costume as well.

[Zealot23]

Just a General Question.

What Kind of material should I be looking for. Suit Material? Or Strictly Gabardine.

[Zealot23]

Also Vaughn?

What is the best way to get in Contact with you?
Email? Messenger?

[Zealot23]

May have just found Appropriate Pants for my Uniform

Sorry that you’re frustrated.

I have no unanswered messages from you, so I’m unsure what contact you’re referring to.

We’ve communicated via pms already, so feel free to message me if you have any questions for me.

As far as your officer costume, i am not familiar with that costing at all, so I’ll leave those questions to others.

Hi Infern0,

No worries! Contact CosSky via email and ask if they can either change your jodhpurs out for straight trousers, or make you a matching pair of straight trousers in addition to the jodhpurs if they have already finished the rest of your costume. Since they have your measurements anyway, I wouldn’t imagine that it would be an issue.

If you decide to go with any other option, your main concern would be matching the color and fabric look. Two gabardines or cavalry twills from different sources likely won’t look 100% identical even if they are both black.

That said, you mentioned Wampawear. They *are* one of the best makers for officer uniforms if you decide to upgrade at some point. They are more expensive, but definitely great quality, and good looking fabric. You could contact them too and see if they’ll do straight trousers for you.

The other stuff you listed seems good to me as far as I can tell. DarmansProps and PhiloProps on etsy always have good quality products. I can’t speak to the hat, boots or blaster though since I’m not familiar with those makers. Wampawear also makes excellent hats, although I don’t know how well the the fabric will match the rest of the uniform.

I hope this helps!
