Thank you for this! I'll start reviewing it all.

[TK 21814[TX]]

I've updated the kama details, as the triangular cut is incorrect. Trim (bias tape edging) dimensions also differ from cut to edge.

Thanks! This is still on target with the team. We are working on transition stuff now but can loop back in

-------------------------

Leading the discussion, we should probably make some consideration for L2 details (not L3 as Spec Ops does not recognize L3). Personally, from the get-go I believe that we should have the red lighting effect as a L2 detail for the visor.

[tipperaryred[CMD-DCA]]

Would agree with lighting for L2. Not much jumps as L2 only.

Also, while I agree with taking "matte" out, is there a reason why it's as specific as "satin" instead? As opposed to "gloss" or "satin/gloss"? I'd struggle to tell the difference between them often, especially in black.

I believe we used satin so that it has a certain sheen when it comes to lighting, rather than full on gloss.

I do agree that we need to think about consistency with basic, whilst still meeting standards for the costume.

I believe we ran into this with the shadow stormtroopers and novas.
