ISS Version 2 Build Progress

So, I'm pretty certain that I am on the verge of having a complete breakdown or anxiety attack.

The search for a willing Tailor to commission an imperial officer tunic, and not destroy my bank account in the process, is literally starting to make me physically sick.

And before you all start telling me to calm down, that's easy for you all to say, seeing as how you all have your uniforms already, and could probably afford 1000 more with your high paying jobs. I do not have that luxury, and more than likely never will.

I think it might be a good idea to put this to the side for now, as much as it pains me to say it.

[Zealot23]

I have decided.

I will be Saving up for a Wampa Wear Uniform.

Gonna buy a Triple XL tunic, and a Double XL Pair of Breeches!

Better to have things too big, than too small

Dalton - I admire your passion to get your costume put together; and assemble it quickly. In all honesty, it took me and many others months to get a full uniform put together. On top of altering a CosSky uniform, waiting for boots from China, leather belt and greeblies from the UK, and code cylinders from Italy. It took that long because I had to save…just like we all did. So insulting and assuming other members can buy what they want at will is a gross assumption. Many members work multiple jobs and long hours to afford things in our hobby. Many members research and build things themselves rather than relying on vendors. None of us are rich. What we are rich in, love for Star Wars and for costuming. Please consider your words more carefully before assuming things about our members. Believe me when I tell you that we want new members and genuinely want to see you succeed - don’t tarnish your reputation before even joining one of the Legions.

You’ve had numerous people offering advice here however you’ve moved so fast and purchased without waiting for us to give advice.

I am sorry your stress is manifesting physically. Take some time and revisit this project when you’re ready. If you can take any advice…. Just slow down. The 501st and Rebel Legions take pride in the high quality costumes we all make and wear - it’s what Lucasfilm and the fans expect. Take your time and do it right.

I owe everyone a Huge apology. Stress does tend to make me do Ridiculously Stupid things, and the fact that I have Asperger Syndrome Also doesn't help.

I will try harder to Not let my frustration manifest itself into something ugly like that again, and I promise to be a Better Friend and Prospect, I swear it.

Now, onto my new Plan.

I will be saving up my Cash to purchase a Uniform from Wampa Wear; XL Hat, XXXL Tunic, XXL Breeches AND Pants (For Variety)

I have spoken with some Friends of mine, and they have Actually Agreed to donate some Cash to me to Help me along; My friend John, will be pitching in $90 tonight, which I will use to secure a Hat!

In 2 weeks, he will make another donation of about $150, which I will use along with my Own Cash to secure the Tunic. Better it be Too Big, than Too Small again!

After that, I just need to Save to Acquire the Breeches.

Things are already looking Better!

You may have seen this thread but this IOC member did a phenomenal job. It’s the same uniform you’re making.


In the IOC Website Look for the topic: “ID-61490 [Cleared] Imperial Security Services Officer (Version 1) Executor 123.2”

[Zealot23]

Thanks for the Reference Von!

I am about to Purchase my Hat from Wampa Wear, XL since my head measures 24.5, anything I should Request? Like the hat disk NOT having that Notch in it??

The hats LARGE size is 24 to 24.41, while EXTRA-LARGE is from 25.61 to 26

[Zealot23]

Need a quick Yay or Nay here.

Id like to try to secure a Hat before they sell out!

[Zealot23]

Hat Ordered.

Source: Wampa Wear
Material: Cavalry Twill
Size : XL
Disc: Yes (No Notch Requested)

[Vaughn]

Looks like the Wampa Wear should do the trick. 

Again…you keep asking for quick advice. Slow down… be patient, I know your money is valuable so let’s make sure you’re buying the right things.

We aren’t on the forums constantly. Many are working Rose City Comic Con this weekend. I’ll be away for a few weeks on vacation - take care.

[Zealot23]

Had a BLAST at Comic Con this year.

True, I didnt go as a Star Wars character (I was a Horror Character) but I really enjoyed meeting some Legionaries, like Missy and CJ.

Thank you both for the Encouragement, Wisdom and Guidance. Excited to make more Progress!

[Zealot23]

Welp, Cossky, has Officially, Lied straight to my Face...!!



I legit feel like, I have been Slapped in the Face.
Guess Wampa Wear is the Way to go.

[Nathanzx10r]

Sorry to hear that you are still having more troubles.  At this point, if it was me, I would clean the uniform and post it for sale on the officers forum and start over with a higher quality vender.  Please do not buy anything in the future without a confirmed response from someone here or on the IOC. You want to get all parts of the uniform from the same vender so that the fabric and colors match.

[Zealot23]

Agreed.

I have made the decision to buy all my uniform parts from Wampa Wear

[Nathanzx10r]

Agreed.

I have made the decision to buy all my uniform parts from Wampa Wear

That will be a far better option!
