As many of you know I have been working on an imperial officer costume for a period of time.

If you would like to see the progress I have made on it please see this link

HOTA Message board discusssion of the Imperial Uniform Costume

I have also been working on an updated tutorial for the costume. You can find the tutorial inside the thread mentioned above. I hope this helps others who are doing this costume.

It looks like things are coming along well. Very nice job. I'm sure the tutorial will be very helpful as well.

There is also an excellent imperial officer costume website done by one of the members of the 501st, located here:

These two websites should help anyone doing this costume.

Is there a list of requirements for the Imperial Officer costume? I am putting the finishing touches on mine and want to make sure it is ready for picture submision.

Hey Curt, I know one of the requirements is that you have to wear your "Got Armor?" T-Shirt underneath the tunic. j/k

ohhhhh burn!!!!!!!

Here is the check list I have been going by:

Imperial Officer Uniform
(uniform color choices: Green-Gray, Gray, Black)

REQUIRED:
___ Tunic - double breasted with closures on right side, 4 code cylinder pockets:
2 on left, 2 on right.
___ Trousers - either straight leg or jodphurs.
___ Imperial Service Cap with silver greeblie.
___ Belt – 2 inch wide black leather with silver snap on end.
___ Belt Buckle – Silver rectangle with silver greeblie.
___ Boots – black: Jack, Wellington, Equestrian, etc.


OPTIONAL:
___ Gloves – black, wrist length.
___ Imperial Rank.
___ Code Cylinders – up to 4, silver, amount must correlate to rank.
___ Drop Boxes – Silver.
___ Blaster – E-11, DH-17, DH-44 or other Imperial issues.
___ Holster – Black or Brown.

I guess the "Got Armor" shirt is optional. And I already have the shirt and the armor. I'm good then.

There are others that still need both...

I had questions about the silver stud/snap on the belt. I have looked at lots (and lots and lots) of pictures of the officers. Some have the snap some don't. Other have it and it looks to be quite large almost 1/2 an inch. I was wondering what it was and if anybody had pictures of it up close. I have also seen it on both the left and right side of the buckle. Is this due to film flipping? If not what is the correct way?

Now that I am done with my imperial officer costume I have started working on some new costuming projects (my current project is a pyrotechnic device for a friends Fett gauntlets). Most friday nights are costuming nights at my house. You bring your own projects (your own tools if you need something special) and we all get ideas on how things work/look from each other. Sometimes there is just 2 of us sometimes more. You all are invited if you would like to bring a project and work on it.

I only ask that you email/pm/msg me the day before so I can obtain enough drinks and snacks for the group (I will also send you the directions at that time).

What did youever come up with when it comes to the snap? I need to do that to my belt.

Actually it was simple, I drilled out my back built in snap and replaced it with a screw together stud from ace hardware. I bought like 4 of them so if you will message me I will bring one to the next event we are at together (I think I bought them for 68 cents a piece). I had a friend of mine cut a notch into the belt while I was wearing it. It takes a true friend to cut leather while you are wearing it. It does a good job of holding the belt together and makes for a tigher look.
