Aloha all,

For those of you who I know secretly hide your shiny white plastic.... Based on voting done nearly a year ago on FISD the TK CRLs have been changed slightly.

Here is an overview of what is different:


BELT

  • ANH Stunt, ANH Hero, ESB, HWT, Deathtrooper: Vinyl or plastic belts are no longer allowable for basic 501st approval. The belt must be canvas. The width specification has been changed as well.

    • "The soft belt proper is made of canvas, or material with a canvas covering. Size must be 2.75” (70 mm) to 3.25”(83 mm) wide and not wider than the plastic portion of the belt. The color is be white to off-white."
  • ROTJ, INC, TKC, SKY: Vinyl or plastic belts are no longer allowable for basic 501st approval. The belt must be nylon. The width specification has been changed as well.

    • "The soft belt proper is tightly woven nylon/cordura like/style material or material with a tightly woven nylon/cordura like/style covering. Size must be 2.25" (57mm) to 2.5" (64mm) wide. The color is to be white to off-white."

HOLSTER

  • ESB: New basic level wording specifies that the holster must be on the right side and looped on belt.

    • "Holster is worn on right side of belt. Holster will be made of completely black leather or leather-like material and be worn on the right and affixed via two black loops over the belt (no fasteners)."
  • INC, TKC, SKY, HWT: Holsters are no longer allowed at the base level for these costumes.

    • "Holster must be omitted from this costume."
  • Deathtrooper: Added wording to match ANH belt specifications but still kept as an optional accessory.

    • "Holster may be omitted from the costume. If a holster is worn, it will be made of black leather or leather-like material. Worn on the left side of belt and be attached from behind, with no loops covering the outside of the belt. The holster will be affixed with two fasteners at the bottom of the belt instead of none or four. The fasteners may be rivets, snaps, or Chicago screws."

KIDNEY & BUTT PLATE

  • ANH Stunt, ANH Hero, ESB, HWT, Deathtrooper: A one piece kidney/butt is no longer allowable at the base level.

    • "A separate kidney plate shall be present, split from the butt plate."
  • ROTJ, INC, TKC, SKY: These costumes must have a one piece kidney/butt.

    • "A separate kidney/butt plate is not allowed - the kidney and butt plate shall be combined/fused to a single plate/one piece."

WHITE U-TRIM

  • ROTJ, INC, TKC, SKY: The white U-trim requirement has been moved from EIB to the base level for torso parts.

  • "A white flexible U shaped gasket or molded lip shall be present around all edges."

AB PLATE BUTTONS

  • ROTJ, INC, TKC, SKY: The inverted ab bottons have been moved from EIB to base level approval.

  • "The ab plate has a button area that matches the color pattern shown (3 dark blue + 6 charcoal grey or black); buttons are approximately 7/16" (11mm) in diameter. The three dark blue buttons will be the three buttons closest to the belt. Ab plate button detail shall be inverted compared to ANH/ESB."

THERMAL DETONATOR

  • ANH Stunt, ANH Hero, ESB: Metal clips are now part of the base requirement. The size of the detonator and orientation of the control panel are now specified.

    • "(A.K.A. O2 canister) attaches to the center back of the belt. This is an all gray cylinder without silver stickers or silver paint. The cylinder is between 2” (50mm) and 2.68"(68mm) in diameter with white end caps on each end. The white control panel pad faces upwards, with controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. The total length should be approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). The thermal detonator shall be attached via metal or metallic-appearing clips approximately 1" (25mm) wide."
