Yeah, Scott Swaboda in Dallas, Tx appeared in an FPA costume at
Project A-Kon a few years back. (BTW, Scott also crafted the
torque/mantle for walter's Imperial costume) His costume seemed
to be quite simple, using some FPA emblems made from plastic Chrysler
car key handles. Getting the beret to sit just right was a problem,
though. ;)

Yeah, I agree. Actually, I was also looking at the Rosenritter
fatigue outfits that we see later in the series. They don't look
very complicated either, but I'm not sure if they'd be very
convincing IRL.
