I didn't even notice this was an LE mod when I downloaded it (was linked from another page) and only found out when I noticed it didn't work for me. Ran it through the optimizer and it works perfect.
Hey, I see you and a lot of people have talked about a female version. As someone mentioned below Immersive Armors has a white fur "Snow Bear" version of this armor with sleeves. That armor is taken from Morrowind Armor Compilation which also has a normal dark fur version just called "Bear" which you can actually use as a replacer for females that has sleeves and pants. One thing though, the sleeves were made for the length of the fur gauntlets included in the mod so are a little bit short when worn with the Stormcloak Officer gauntlets but it's slight enough that I can definitely deal with it personally.
If you don't know (I'm going to be super basic here sorry if most of this is obvious), what you want to do after you have the Morrowind Armor Compilation downloaded and the BSA extracted somehow is to create a new mod folder and inside that create a path "meshes\armor\sons of talos\" then copy the two files, "meshes\armor\bear\bodyf_0.nif" and "meshes\armor\bear\bodyf_1.nif" from MAC and paste them into the 'sons of talos' folder you made, renaming the files to "outfitf_0.nif" and "outfitf_1.nif" respectively.
The last step is that you need one texture file from MAC located at "textures\armor\bear\banditf.dds" You want to copy this file and retain the filepath in your new mod folder so "[Your Mod Folder Name]\textures\armor\bear\banditf.dds" This texture has the transparency on the bandit outfit that makes it so you only see the pants and sleeves from the mesh. Now just either drop the mod folder into your Mod Organizer mods folder or drag and drop the 'meshes' and 'textures' folders into your data folder to install manually.
Note: You could also do this for the Male version of the Bear armor in MAC but personally I think 4killmaster's version already looks a bit better.
Just so you now, in v7 of Immersive armors there is an armor called snow bear armor which is basically this, but with arms and legs from fur armor instead of guard armor, complete with a new color scheme, textures by Cabal I think. I don't really see anything wrong without having the sleeves and pants, as Nords have 50% resistance to cold, so it's never that cold for Nords.
More than likely you have a mod installed that retextures the Stormcloak cuirass, and wasn't made to be compatible with the sleeved variant of the armor (as it wasn't used in the vanilla game). I advise you find which mod you have installed and check to see if it has a patch. It's a very common issue with any mod that uses the sleeved Stormcloak variant.
Thank you for the mod! Can you do females, please? With the meshes from 'Practical Female Armors' mod as a base it could be easier as they are closer to male meshes than vanilla meshes.

A version with it being the same brown as the arms would be cool too.
