Here is a copy of the new supply list for pre-made Colonial Uniforms. (Revised 2015) with links, and grading in place.
Copied from Blackstar Squadron, where I am Supply Officer, thought I'd share with our Centurion foes.
Copy and paste links.
Stand alert! Revised and updated list, Fall/Winter 2015 edition.
This is an updated resource list for the Warrior uniform, merchants are graded on overall quality and reliability, organized by letter grade as follows;
A = Screen accurate, the best available. Merchant is extremely reliable.
B = Well made, with some inaccuracies. Merchant is reliable, some issues have been reported.
C* = Recognizable, but highly inaccurate (Budget Costume) Merchant is somewhat reliable.
* May be subject to limited membership within the club.
D = Extremely cheaply made, not recommended. Unacceptable within Squadron Guidelines.
F = Are you kidding? A real Warrior wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these.
Any uniform rated below C will not be accepted for membership.
