I realize that this is an older thread, but I'm interested in people's input about the MR officer's uniforms.
I've been a serious costumer for years, working mostly at various renaissance faires etc., and have only recently gotten into Star Wars costuming applications, but my experience (and obsession) with historical accuracy has bled over into this new direction. I have hired a professional seamstress to work on my guardsman robes, and am considering hiring her to put together screen-accurate RotJ Line- and Staff- Officer uniforms. I retain the services of a seamstress because her skill with cloth much surpasses my own, tailored pieces fit and wear much better, and are more durable than off-the-shelf pieces.
That said, /Shocking gasp! I'm looking into purchasing a MR uniform, to save time and money.
My point is that since I'm on a budget, I'm already shelling out over $1K for for the crimson and burgundy robes (and accessories) of my RotJ Imperial Guardsman getup, would it be worth me getting a MR Deathstar Officer's uniform (I already have boots)?
My preference, of course would be to have the costume tailored, but the cost adds up significantly quickly.
For those of you that have purchased, or are in the know, how are the MR uniforms as far as heft/wear, screen-accurate color, lining, durability, etc...?
