The ammo pouch is perfect!

The pants should work out just fine too but it depends on your GML.

You'll need to add the lacing and the diamond detail in the knee for level 2 (which is totally optional).

Iam not sure about the pants. They look green? 

[BikerScout007]

Yeah they look green to me as well...

[KOtrooper]

They're showing up as brown on my monitor. Even if they have a green tint, you could dye them.

Might want to hit up the seller for clarification on the color.

Hey Matt! 501st approvals are handled by the local garrison GMLs, not the detachments. Your best bet is to reach out to them.

That being said the pouch is the correct one you want.

The pants may have issues passing as they are. You can always try modding items to make them look a bit closer…

Here is a pic of the pants:



hope that helps, good luck

I haven't done it myself but members of my garrison use Rit Dye and (ideally) a top loader washer.

YouTube might be more helpful for best methods.

My dye experience is from scruffy desert dwellers... but trashcan and some RIT worked great for those guys.

Dying fabric can be complicated, depending on that material. Synthetics will require a different type of dye from natural materials, like cotton.

Additionally, those breeches are already a fairly dark color. You can generally go darker with dyes, but altering the shade entirely may not work so well. Your mileage may vary with that particular set and it might be difficult to tell until you see better photos in hand.
