I'm by no means an expert on an ESB Fett. As I have a ROTJ Fett myself - even then, I don't consider myself an expert on ROTJ either, but I've been at this a couple years.
A couple things that stick out to me are...
1) The Hip Pouches that hang off the Ammo Belt - needs to be positioned directly above the Thigh Pouches.
2) Glove could be weathered a lot more - They look almost brand new.
3) Needing some Shin Tools.
4) Suit to have more of that blueish hue to it.
5) Clear Cross Hitched Tube from your Right Gauntlet could be attached a bit better.
6) Having only 1/2" of Flak Vest shown below the abdominal armor.
And this could be all part of the tweaking you mentioned you still have to do. The Jetpack Harness is a Level II certification thing, but I know folks LOVE having the Black Seatbelt style webbing with the US Divers buckle!
Things not shown in your picture are:
1) Sidearm Holster with Pulce Blaster. FYI, the 501st has the ESB Sidearm (Pulce Blaster) listed as an Optional Accessory - However the holster NEEDS to be a part of the costume. Which to me seems strange.
2) Jetpack
3) Shin Tools
4) Boots - I can make out something at the bottom, and they look like socks.
Anyone else who is better at the ESB than me care to chime in?

This is a better picture of the blue on flight suit im pretty sure this meets requirements as I havnt heard of anyone else dying arkadys suit but I may be wrong , it would be difficult to dye as the collar is all part of the suit
This was taken outside in natural light this is the same suit my other picture was indoors under artificial light many thanksIf that's the same suit I'd leave the colors alone.
Make sure when you take pictures your lighting is better.
Agreed!Lighting and distance/perspective are huge in taking approval pictures or asking for questions/help.
Would love to see some pics of your weathering ect pleaseYes sir I have been approved recently. The first time I reached out for approval I didn't have enough weathering on my suit in my opinion but they still approved me. I didn't dye my arkady flightsuit at all just added the weathering. I think the strictness of the approval is up to the GML's and your Garrison that you choose. Mine didn't have any active Boba Fett's so I think they were just happy to have me. There's something weird about seeing yourself in costume and seeing others. To me I don't look like fett and I constantly see all the mistakes. Others though like Irongladiator, Budafett, or you yourself to me look like fett. All you can do is follow the CRL, send in your photos, and hope for the best. From what I've seen I think you'll make a good fett for the garrison of your choosing.
Definitely Ordmatell's esb!! It's like a Bible at this point!Honestly I would stick with all Ordmatell’s posts and that’s my go to for improvements I’ve been making on my suit and of course the hard to read reference photos available. He has a lot of knowledge as well.
