Hi Guys
I have been accepted into the 501st with a Reserve Pilot costume only a few weeks ago, so I am pretty excited to keep going.
I have been sitting in the forums for quite some time now and finally decided to go ahead with a red guard build, not sure which one yet but swinging towards AOTC version as this is similar to the Blue Senate Guard costume I have.
I was going through the CRL's and it says Crimson Velvet or Velveteen as the outer robe colour, now correct me if I'm wrong, but the Crimson I see in the fabric shops are not the same as what I see on the troops and Facebook pictures.
So a quick question, what colour is used on the outer robe
Thanks guys for your help

Re: Red or Crimson
Velvets can come in several Dye hues. This would be an example of Crimson. Where this would be an example of Red. What it comes down to is color matching the Helmet with the fabric for the best unified result.

Re: Red or Crimson
So what ever hue of crimson I get, match the helmet to the fabric colour and I can't go wrong.
Sounds fair
Thanks I will start looking for velvet

Exactly.
Or, if you are building your helmet from a kit and needs to be painted, match the helmet paint to the velvet you buy.
