Pattern Tunic & Pants

[fernferro]

Hi everyone, i think i've just managed to get locally the fabric (like bull denim in black and olive green), in the future i think i'll do the aldhani trooper too, but in the meantime i want to do the imperial security trooper, since this series for me it's the best SW i've seen in a long long time.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an pattern, i know it's based in an bdu jacket, but if anyone managed to have an pattern for this costume it will be great 

 

Thanks for reading me

Hi Fernando

Welcome to the spec opf forum. Can you also head over to the Spec Ops recruits section and make a post there, so we make sure you are set up with the correct permissions. 

 

The coat is an original desing, and doesnt share much in common at all with a BDU coat. And i have a LOT of BDU coats leftove from my service days.   I dont know of a pattern for it, and people have been making them from scratch.  I know Sheev's Emporium has posted all their research on their FB page, and JimTripon JImmiroqui and KeepTrooping are offering them for sale.  I would be inclined to say its pretty simple but I know its not, because in all our research on it, there are features that are blended from othe military blouses over time. The coat hoooks on the sides to hold the belt, the mandarin collar, the cut of the sleeves, its a custom job.   You COULD start with a simple jacket patttttern like farm chore coat or even a long sleeve shirt pattern and work ack from that, keepiing in mind the overlap similar to a BDU coat, the blouses featured a back  yoke which is easy to see on the green uniforms.   You can take a look at a very early sketch a tailor worked out in a post on this page .

I've also been working on and off on patterns for the trooper, the pants are simple, a straight legged jean, using double stitching throughout all seams with specifically the back of the pants being laid over the front on the side seams, with a panel about 1/2" away from the in and out seam of the leg and around 11", based on what I've seen, long. I wish you luck on your journey!
