- Top or Jumpsuit
- Trousers or Jumpsuit
- Armor
- Gloves or Bracers
- Belt
- Saber Clip if using a traditional style lightsaber
- Boots
- Lightsaber
- 1-2 Imperial cogs on costume (need more info)

Base Clothing:
While the type of clothing can range from a black flight suit to something more custom, keep in mind when someone looks at your outfit you can tell immediately that you are an Inquisitor. All Inquisitors will be primarily black and/or charcoal grey with possibility of red accents, but not necessarily and with allowances for other colors as trim for various components. Leather products (boots, pouches, and belt) will require color cohesiveness with the colors of the rest of the components and costume.
Soft goods should be tailored and not overly baggy.
Zippers, buttons, or pockets must be hidden or removed.
Jumpsuits
A fitted jumpsuit may be worn as an alternative to the long sleeve textured shirt or the stylized military jacket and pants.
- Jumpsuit must have a mandarin, mock turtleneck, or ribbed neck seal collar.
- Jumpsuits should be made of a medium or heavy suiting material, twill, canvas, or ripstop nylon.
- They cannot be made of vinyl or other shiny material. Any visible zippers must be in the front and covered by a placket.
- The jumpsuit may be constructed in two parts that attach via zipper, velcro, or other attachments, with the seam hidden by the belt.
- Jumpsuits may be in black or dark gray and have accents in grey, white, or red.
- They may have trouser or jodhpur style legs with no visible pockets.
Top
Tops may be in either black or gray and must be the same color as the pants. Tops may either be a fitted, long sleeved and textured shirt that ends in a high collar, or a stylized military jacket that ends in a high collar. It is recommended to wear an undershirt that is not visible with this jacket. Neck seals may be substituted for the high collar.
Long Sleeved Tops should be fitted to the body and made of a thicker material. Patterns such as ridges and lines are not required but encouraged to give the top a more textured look. Princess seams are a great choice here.
The sleeves should extend to the base of the thumb, and the cuff should appear similar to a jacket rather than a long-sleeved shirt.
- Stylized military jackets cannot be standard Imperial Officer uniforms
- Military jackets may be lined in red or grey.
Pants
Pants should be fitted to the member. They should either be trouser style with no visible pockets in grey or black, or jodhpur style pants with no visible pockets in black or grey. The color of pants must be the same as the chosen top color. They should be tucked into the tops of the boots.
If paired with the military jacket, members can apply with yoga or running pants, horseback breeches so long as they are of a thicker material and not in any way translucent. The yoga or running pants should also be of matte or similar finish and not be shiny. Leggings are not considered yoga pants.
