I live in the mid west area of the U.S.

Is there a certain website I could or should go to, to buy my bucket? I just want to purchase from a reputable source, where I don't run the risk if being denied due to my bucket. I've met others in the past who ran into this problem. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to buy an imperial guard bucket, but i'm worried about spending the money on one that would not be approved. I see many being sold and ranging in price. Would there be any suggestions on where I should my bucket from, or any trusted websites I could attain it from?

I'm looking for boots for my ROTS, the approved list says the black jack boots can be worn. But at the end it talks about the boots being red. Anyone has any clarification on that as well as what boot should I get? I'm thinking of the black jack boots but I don't want to make a double purchase if I'...

I'm new to all of this and I'm working on my first costume, which of course is an imperial guard from ROTS. Would anyone have a pattern I could use or have? I have a seamstress in my area that say they can make the costume, but they'll need the patten. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated

Would any one know where I could get a Kir Kanos or a Carnor Jax helmet? Been trying to track down either a mold or a pre-made helmet, so I could match the colors to the armor. If you know, please PM me or thread any suggestions.
