I think I will go back to short pants with those boots.
Those boots are the ones by AlexScorpion from the same set as the right arm's armor. They're actually cloth with sandals on the feet and a metal plate strapped over the shin. I think if I make the cloth more clear and prominent, I'll get a good medium between boots and sandals.

Bit of bad news.
I'm planning to join the Army as an MP, and I have to spend all my time training and studying in preparation for my testing to be certain I'll qualify for that position.
For easily the next couple months I don't think I'll have much time to work on this. From what I've found though, it seems I'll have little else to do afterward for a few months except wait for deployment to basic training, so I should be able to finish this up then. If I can't finish it before then, I'll release it as-is for someone else to finish. A female version from me is now unlikely.

It's really beautiful. Really, really beautiful. Just the kind of thing I need, haha. Can't wait for this!

Testing is over, and I should have some time to work on this again. I've updated the textures a little already, as you can see http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/7699/nifskope201009221502232.png and http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/4880/nifskope201009221614270.png
I updated the sleeve texture mostly, as well as a bit of the over-vest and pants.
I'm thinking that I'll place the Hand of Sithas symbol on the waist draqe, and create a Blades version of this uniform as well that has the Imperial Dragon on the draqe instead of the hand, along with some other minor recoloring.

Looks great, can't wait for the release

Another issue has come up and I can't use my computer for a while, so I don't see being able to finish this. I'm hoping to at least be able to finish the rigging and put it up as is, but that could be months away.
It's not an issue with the computer itself, so no one has to worry about me losing the files
