I've now modelled the knurled baton (or at least I think it's a baton...). Available to download free at Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1480152
Just for fun I've made a printable model of Jyn Erso's card device as shown in Laubi's excellent toy fair images. And I've uploaded it to Thingiverse. Any feedback welcome!

Here's another (very average) grab from the trailer - definitely looks like some sort of flat loop?

Oooh! Looks like the baton expands, and the folding thing on the side is the handle!
I used 7123 - learn from my mistakes and don't try to size up the legs, mine look like clown pants!! But the seam is easily added (view A has that option, you just stitch the crease shut).For the pants I'm looking at Burda 7123. It's got the nice wide waistband, but a side zip that will have to be moved to the center and that waist band overlapped as well. It is also missing the front seams, but that's an easier fix. It's got a skinny/cigarette leg, but might require even more tailoring in.

I'm thinking - after experimenting this weekend - that may be the way to go; the pleated piece is inevitably going to be heavier than the other pattern pieces, no matter the fabric, so it drags down on the upper leg. It might be better as an 'applique' piece. (And yes you're on the money with the strap being added later.)xD gotcha. I think I'm going to add the strap and the pleated pieces on as their own pieces to keep my pants fit looking as neat as possible. So glad someone else has used this pattern. Burda patterns always make me nervous.
It sounds so illogical but a rectangle ring with the belt folded through it and held closed by the 2 sets of 4 snaps we see? The belt seems to just ret on her hips, really. Why they would do that really makes no sense at all, it seems like it would be more hassle than anything else to take the belt on/off

So as typical with the Star Wars universe, I feel the closure actually mirrors that of a Jedi belt with the folding elements seen below here:

Additionally, what appear to be snaps actually look more like eyelets than full snaps. Could be wrong, but in the shots from :09-:11 in the trailer, you can catch the little bits of darkness in the interior of the dots. Again, without a high res photo to go on, they could go either way.

Could be snaps (on skived belt ends) to close, with a very close-fitting and wide keeper over the top? And you're right, they do look like eyelets at the rear.

My pair of Black Diamond gloves arrived today. These things a freakin' substantial! I applied some of the brown colored Pecard's leather treatment and the color change is negligible (as you can see in the photo the right hand strap). I imagine they used mink oil which I'll try as soon as I find mine. I'm also going to use them for yard work to break 'em in.View attachment 613960
