    Hello there. 
    While a lot of makers are more geared towards selling the finished product and may not be keen on sharing their patterns, there are still a lot of places to start on the actual sewing. A good search on the forums can get into it. From what I could find:
     
     
     

    Also, one of our own members @Hawkhas some great videos on making it.

    Following.  This would be a great addition to the IOC if we can find all the required photo references.  Fingers crossed.

    I don't have original briefcase - Rimova is too expensive and too big for me, so I made a smaller version of it, perfectly fit for my datapad. I made it from poker chips case (100 pcs).

    The Rimowa cases were made in a number of colors, styles, and sizes over the years (and still today).  The specific model they used on the show is the silver one I posted a photo up above, but in black... I'm honestly not 100% certain whether they painted a silver one black, or if there is a black model of that same case.  That one model is easily spotted due to the unique wide aluminum strip on the sides with the side locks.  I would be surprised if they didn't manufacture them in black, since that's a common color across their product line, but it's possible that model was only aluminum.  (In which case the one they used on the show was painted, too... that just seems unlikely they would bother, instead of just getting a black one in the first place)
     
    The black one that I purchased (also pictured above) is a little larger than the silver one, but not massively so.  Certainly close enough for approval, and far closer to the original than the cheap AliExpress ones I've seen people modifying as "close enough" cases.  (Also bear in mind, I'm 6'3" tall, so the larger scale works better for me than it would for someone the size of Denise Gough (the actress who plays Meero.)
     
    Silver case dimensions (taken from eBay auction listings, so take them with a grain of salt!):  Either 38cm×25cm×9.5cm or possibly 35cm x 27cm x 9.5cm (Again, different listings showing the same case seem to list different dimensions sometimes, so I'm more than a little suspicious)
     
    My black Rimowa case dimensions: 46cm x 37cm x 12cm
     
    Interestingly, in several of those "crowd" scenes outside the ISB building, such as the opening scene where we actually see Meero carrying the briefcase, there are several other officers carrying briefcases, too, but they're all different from Meero's.  Unless they have a pile of that very unique vintage briefcase, I'm not so sure this going to be a standard ISB piece of kit, and may well end up being unique to Meero's character.
     
    That said, they DO like Rimowa luggage, it seems, so it's entirely possible we'll see more.  Syril Karn was carrying a larger piece of Rimowa luggage when he was heading to his mother's apartment.  (All aluminum, too)

    Morning Alex,
     
    I would say that you will have a hard time with these. They have a seam on the front that would not pass as well as the sole is a little too aggressive.

    I use Mercury Adhesives Thick Viscosity CA Glue as well as the Mercury's CA Activator for an instant bond.  You can pick it up at most craft or model stores.
     
    A good tip is to use disposable gloves like latex or Nitrile disposable gloves, so you don't glue your fingers together (I may or may not have learned the hard way).

    I FINALLY got around to digitizing my Imperial Officer Tunic pattern!!!
    I ran a contest where people who donated to a project getting protective gear to doctors got a vote for every dollar they donated and my officer tunic was the winner by a landside!
    Free printable PDF here:

    This was originally made to fit - Bust 40, Waist 32, Hip 40 and 5'7" and is made to fit a form with some curves.
    If you use the pattern, please consider donating what you would have spent buying a pattern to an organization supporting the effort to fight COVID-19!

    Interesting design. There's something about Black&Red that look sharp, then again I'm partial to the black uniforms.

    Personally, I have my odd Navy Trooper collection. I think it's interesting to compare every Figurine collection, going from the most vintage one to the «modern» black series and 40th Anniversary Edition. I think I have just one missing.

    I grabbed a few photos of things I have and have collected down through the years.  
     
    A cell of an animated Imperial officer from an episode of Ewoks in 1984.  Note that the hat has the same markings as we see in Rebels 30 years later.
     
    a cell of Admiral Screed, imperial officer and bad guy in the Droid series in 1985.  
     
    I have a collection of autographs of imperial officers including costume designer John Mollo.  This was the only autograph that a friend got me.  I wish we could have interviewed him while he was alive.  I have 4 from ANH, 3 from ESB, one from ROTJ and one from ROTS
     
    I have some obscure toys related to officers.  This was only sold on Military PX's and was designed by a friend of mine John Ficker.  it is the conference room scene from ANH. I have every single hasbro 4 inch and 6" figure ever produced, including the ones that Kenner made in the 80s.
     
    I have the officer maquettes made by Gentle Giant
     
    and when I can I get the actors to sign them.
     
    I also take photos of friends in costume, particularly officers, with backgrounds that fit the costume.  I have these hanging around my house.
