This is a visual guide used for 501st costume approval, not a how-to for construction. Construction details are found at the costume's Detachment website. Measurements provided here are generalized, and not criteria for approval. All 501st costumes are proportionate to the wearer in terms of size, fit, and scale. During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.

  • The top and side sections are made up of one piece and are made of a matte Black stretch material.
  • Each side is joined in the center front and back of the tunic. Both top front sections are angled so they slope downwards to the sides away from the center and stop just at the line that would follow the shoulder point then continue downward to the bottom of the tunic.
  • The front right section overlaps the left section at an angle with the seam continuing up towards the left side and going under the vest.

Four leather straps (two on each side) come out from behind the center of the main pack body and connect to two shoulder straps that are fitted around the user’s shoulder arm area.
• The pack has the shape of a trapezoid, with the top horizontal width of 11" and the bottom width of 10". The height of the pack is approximately 10" tall with a depth of 3". Its side profile has a slightly curved shape following along the upper back curve of the wearer.

  • Each box butts up along the side of the main body of the backpack.
  • The boxes are approximately 2 ¾" wide by 4 ¾" tall and ¾" deep.
  • Pouches have a sloped top, and the appearance of a flap lid. The flap on the outside edge of the boxes, comes down approximately 1” and then cuts across 1 ¾” at a slight angle then angles downward 3” and then again cuts cross to the inner edge of the box 4” down from the top.
  • Both flaps have a finished binding edge.
• The box on the wearers’ right side of the main body has a top that slopes from the right side starting approximately 4” down from the top height of the main body to the left side of the top of the box approximately 4 1/2” down from the top of the main body.

  • The sheath is form fitting at the top around the handle base and tapers inward to a blunt pointed end.
  • The sheath has two attached points to the pack with straps and silver details. There is an additional vertical strap with a silver detail separating them, see reference.
• The shoulder straps are made of alternating layers starting with thick black material and then brown leather or leather like material.
  • Each layer gets gradually thinner as it stacks outward. There are four layers in all. The width of the straps ranges from 2 ¾" (widest innermost layer) to 1 ¾" (thinnest outermost layer).
  • The inner most layer combination starts and stops approximately ½ way up the full height of the shoulder strap loop starting from the front going over the should and stopping at the mid back.
  • The next layer of shoulder straps follows the same curvature of the under straps over the shoulder and then curves under the arm area, lying flat against the body and meets under the arm.
  • The layered shoulder straps cross over the shoulder midway from the base of the neck to the shoulder point.
• There are silver colored rectangular buckles between the outermost layers.
  • Each buckle is positioned just before the end of the shorter inner straps at the front and back.
  • The buckle body lies behind the outermost layer and a diagonal prong lies on top of it.
  • The four corners of the rectangular buckles are cut at a 45-degree angle ¼" from the corners.
  • There is a raised border edge ¼" wide.
  • There is a ¼" gap that cuts through the border at the center height of the buckle.
  • The upper inner border edge and outer lower part of the border rise up at the end and curve under to create an angled tunnel for a black prong to fit through which connects both tunnels over the outer leather strap.
  • There are raised details on the raised edge close to the corners.

  • At the base of the handle above the hilt there is another small silver dot also horizontally centered, followed by two raised silver lines that follow the shape of the hilt and go all the way around the handle.
• The knife hilt is thicker than the handle on all sides ranging from ¼ - ½ inch deep.
  • The outer sides are vertical.
  • The center facing flat side of the knife, slopes downward to a point around ½ from the top, starting approximately 1/3 the width of the hilt.
