I’m doing a Imperial Army Trooper with the hat option instead of the helmet and goggles. I already have the pouches which I bought more then a year ago. I wanted to do an IAT with the armor option, but then the CRL was changed and that was no longer an option, so I put the project on hold. For Celebration next year I want to bring a costume that would fit in my luggage, so I decided to continue with this one.
Pouches and belt are from Condor:
1x MA33-001: Triple AR/AK Mag Pouch OD Green
2x MA47-001: Double Handcuff Pouch OD Green
1x G.I. Style Nylon Pistol Belt OD Green
1x MA67-001: G.P. General Purpose Pouch OD Green
I also have the French Army gloves. They are quite thick so I removed the inner liner. Maybe I will be looking for some other gloves with the level 2 stitch lines.
I have 2 inch webbing, but the green is a bit off from the pouches and belt so I’m still looking for other options. One of the biggest issues with this costume is that you end up with a lot of different shades of green.
Luckily I could still find the Hunter Bay boots on Amazon. I bought them in size 8 which fit perfectly. The next available size was 14, so if it wouldn’t fit I would have to find other boots or just use jack boots which I also have for other costumes.
The jumpsuit is going to be custom made so I’m searching for a fabric to use. It’s not easy to find a fabric that matches the pouches. I have several samples and currently these two are the best options. They vary a lot depending on the lighting conditions or the camera used, so I took pictures on different conditions.
The right one is more olive but looks more brown or grey under low light conditions. Any opinions on these?
