Okay so no pictures at the moment since they're on my friend's phone and not mine (unless you want to see a very in character Aphra face of confusion) but I do have a proposed draft CRL. Am intending to submit for Legion approval soon.

 

Aviator Cap

• The aviator cap is light tan in color and made from leather or a leather like material and fits close to the costumer’s head

• A padded, circular shape sits on either side of the head over the ears with visible stitching around the edge where they connect to the cap

• The chin strap should have a functional buckle but is worn unbuckled

• Hair should be worn down and loose beneath the cap with at least some hair visible on the forehead/over the right eye.

 

Goggles

• The goggles are round in shape

• The frames of the goggles are a dark red that matches the color of the vest

• The frame should be made of plastic and not appear metallic.

• The strap should be either black or match the red of the goggles and be approximately ¾ of an inch wide

• The goggles should be worn on top of the costumer’s head and above the cap, approximately even with the hairline.

Optional: Goggles may be square in shape instead of round

 

Vest

• The vest should be a dark red in color and made from a medium weight fabric with no visible closures

• The back of the vest should be high and come up almost to the costumer’s neck

• The front of the vest should be angled inwards at approximately 45* and then go straight down. The angle change should be about even with the bottom of the split of the shirt.

• The vest is worn open with an approximately 4 inch gap between the two sides.

 

Shirt

• The shirt should be of a similar weight and cut to a fitted, short-sleeved polo with a popped collar

• Color can be white, off-white, or cream

Optional: A long sleeved shirt of the same cut may be substituted

 

Tattoo

• Tattoos (via sleeve, make-up, or otherwise) mimicking Aphra’s circuitry design in black must be on the right arm.

• These should be an assortment of straight lines which end in circles with a dot in the center

• The lines and circles are of equal width and be no wider than half a centimeter

 

Gloves

• Gloves are black, wrist-length, of a leather-like material, and fingerless

• The top side of the gloves have a rectangular red patch on the back made from similar material to the gloves.

 

Pants

• The pants should be plain and tight-fitting but NOT made of legging-like material

• Color should be either gray or a steel-blue

• Pockets are permitted

 

Boots

• The boots are black with low heels not higher than an inch

• No buckles or laces are visible. Zippers are permitted on the insides.

• The boots should be knee-high in height

 

Belt and Holster

• The belt is made from plain, undecorated brown leather and is 2 inches wide.

• The plain silver buckle is rectangular with rounded edges. It should sit flush with the belt, be 3 inches long, and only very slightly wider than the belt itself.

• The holster is made from the same plain brown leather. There should be one narrow strap to secure the blaster with a circular, silver snap to attach it.

• Two brown straps secure the holster to the belt and run to the buckle and the back-center of the belt respectively

 

Optional:

 

Jacket

• In place of a vest, a long sleeve red jacket may be worn

• The jacket should be looser fitting and of a similar shade of red to the vest

 

DL-44

• If present, the blaster should be an exact replica of a DL-44

 

Hi! Has the proposed CRL update been approved/posted? I'm making this costume for approval soon and wanted to be sure that I don't submit incorrectly. Thanks!

Hello Everyone! 

My name is Grace, I’m from Buffalo NY, and thanks to my friends from Nickel City Squad, I have decided to join the Detachment as Dr. Aphra (and possibly a Jawa in the future) 

A few things are in progress already to make one of the “Red Vest” CRLs, but any tips and advice are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to meeting and trooping with more people soon! 

Regards,

Grace (aphra716)
