I found some great leather for the boot cuffs. What did you use for backing for your boot cuffs? It seams like they will be too flimsy without using some sort of backing.

It is a 1.5 - 2 mm thick foam called "Moosgummi" that comes in DIN A3 297 x 420 mm sheets. I was not able to find an Englishtranslation for it. I think it is similar to 1 mm or 2 mm thick EVA foam sheets/mats.

I'm going to guess it would translate as "closed cell foam".

The progress on your boots cuffs looks good.

I enlarged the belt loops to accommodate the PLCE belt.
Now I need to sew the flares on to the belt. Can a judge let me know if I am supposed to have the pull tab on the buckle or not? If I don't need it, I was thinking of cutting it off to use for the flares.

I am not a costume judge but I studied the references a lot. The pull tap webbing is missing on Cassian Andor's, Private Weems' and the pathfinder's roll pin buckles, so I am of an opinion that it needs to be removed.

That seems to be the consensus. I've removed it.

Sorry! I've been working on costume standards drafts so just saw this. I agree with Patricia, and you've made the choice I would have recommended.

My shirt is done. Now I'm just waiting on the jacket I ordered 3 months ago.
