The 501st approval requirements are listed in black.

The Sith Lord Detachment defines additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, items listed under "For level two certification" are recommended features that will greatly improve the quality of the costume. These items are not required for 501st membership, but are highly recommended. Items listed under "For level three certification" are some of the highest level accuracy features for those who strive to be screen accurate. These items are also not required for 501st membership.

Also note that these two additional "certification levels" DO NOT correspond to the Advanced Standards program of the Sith Lord Detachment, and you are encouraged to visit the Sith Lord Detachment Forum for more information.

For 501st membership, only the requirements in black need to be met.

The following costume components must be present and appear as described below for approval .

• The eyebrows should be dark grey in color.

• You can either use your own facial hair, or high quality costuming facial hair.
• The mustache covers the area between the nose and lips, then tapers off past the edge of the lips and joins into the beard.

• The cape should be made of wool in the appropriate color; Revenge of the Sith has a medium brown cloak with a lighter rustic-colored lining of a velvet/velour fabric.

• It should be 13 links alternating from the claps with one smaller link to two larger over-lapping links.

• Requirements of the tunic are the same as the IOC's officer-style tunic with the following exceptions:
• It is made of a dark brown, non-glossy material.
• The collar is ~ 2" in height with a no gap (modesty panel may be used).
• The bottom of the tunic falls 4–5" below the waist (measurements given for proportional dimensions only).
• The double-breasted section and rest of the bottom of the tunic align along the bottom edge.
