Hi Welcome Paul
Re an Imperial Officers hat and costume - You can sew it all yourself but we have some clever folk in the Redbacks that can make the Officers caps for $45-50 to the required specification. By the time you buy the material and get a pattern it can get complicated, but certainly your choice to give it a shot. I don't know where you'd find a pattern.
A few of us officers sourced our uniforms online from Cosplaysky. They are having a sale on at the moment also. I have a black Officers Uniform from them and they are excellent, and approvable with no mods needed (unless they make your pants too big like some and need to be taken in!). Their hats are not to standard. I sourced my hat from a local maker, the uniform from Cosplaysky, boots locally (but the best German jack books for this costume come from overseas) and belt and hat greeblie locally also. All that took a few months and you need to check the 501st Legion main website for the CRL - Costume Reference Library -as the previous member Stormraven has provided - for the up to date requirements. There are a few other components needed such as a rank badge and code cylinders for your side chest pockets. However a Warrant Officer does not need the last 2 pieces.
Best of luck and do ask questions before you make any purchases, you don't want to waste your money.
