I dont feel we need to rework things like weapons and the box. Those are ultimately optional and well described. 

This may wrap us up! 
 

I made some final edits to the boot text to simplify it.

 

Boots

• Tall black leather or leather-like material. Boots are dull in appearance.
• Similar design to tall German jack boots or tall motorcycle riding boots are acceptable for basic approval.
• Boot has a round, plain toe. Harness style or box toe boots are not to be approved.
• Ankle straps are to be removed.
• Typical jackboots are not acceptable as they are too short. The boot shaft must rise as close to the bottom of the knees as possible. The boot shall be as tall as required to achieve this appearance. See reference images.
• Boots have an adjustment strap on the out facing side of the boot.
• Adjustment strap has a square, silver adjustment buckle.
• Heels are made of rubber or similar material . Visible tread is permitted. 
• Boots may contain zipper closure but must be concealed. 

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):

• Boot shaft height should be 15" (38cm) or as required to stop just below the knees.
• Boots have a flap with adjustment strap with square silver buckle that starts at the middle back of the boot and wraps around to the outfacing sides. See reference images for shape of the adjustment flap and strap.

Excellent stuff, it feels good to have a lot of that ironed out.

Are there any outstanding issues that you can see from the JRS side @Wingman?

I'm ok with all the updates for the basic stuff that could get used by both departments for approval. Really nice work.

The only thing that feels a bit nitpick is that the Vest should be the same fabric as the Suit. In real life tactical vests are made out of codura fabric and so people get forced to get a custom made vest. Many people using the Flyye Law Enforcement Vests as base and customized them to get then accurate which wouldn't be possible anymore with this restriction. So feels like Gatekeeping somehow as for basic approval the attendant needs to get a custom made vest which are not easy to get in many regions.

How do you guys see it?

 

In this screenshot you can see that the weave of the vest is not as fine as the one of the suit.
