You are on point with everything
The pattern is def more important than the material, especially for basic clearance.
I believe the CRL says " tackle twill or similar material"
Yea you are correct, setting standards much beyond "accurate looking material" and "reasonably accurate patterns" is near impossible. But that is what the higher levels are for....the folks who want to go that extra mile, and get the most accurate to our (the communities) knowledge. They never had Level 2 or 3 for the bounty hunters, its a new thing, so they are just trying to figure out, how far to go for those levels is all they are doing.
I think what BN was concerned about was people shooting for those higher levels, so he wanted to be sure his vests would be cleared for those, but i dont think it will be an issue.
I Agree that everything should stay as its been..just saying tackle twill or similar material, since we dont know exactly what material it actually is. I think level 2 or 3 should only be "upped" if we discover what the actual fabric was.
I think both the neckseal and vest material should match regardless of which way the fabric is used. Most makers do this nowadays i believe.
An example of this if we knew what the screen used material was would go something like this:
Basic standards - correctly patterned tackle twill or similar fabric vest
Level2 - correctly patterned Tackle twill vest
level3 -correctly patterned vest using [screen used] fabric
That is only an example and is not any offical 501st thing..just trying to lay out how the levels work
