Arnold Rimmer Costume Guide

How to dress like Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf.

ABOUT ARNOLD RIMMER:

Arnold Judas Rimmer Bsc. (Bronze swimming certificate) is the second technician aboard the mining ship Red Dwarf. Despite his ambitions to become a superior officer, he is the second lowest-ranking person onboard with only Lister to look down on. When an explosion kills everyone onboard, with the exception of Lister who is safely locked away in stasis, Rimmer is reanimated as a hologram to keep the last known human survivor company.

How To Dress Like Rimmer

1. SHIRT – Nobody has so much respect for military order and so little actual authority quite like Arnold J. Rimmer, that doesn’t stop him from dressing the part though!

2. PANTS – Add a matching pair of military cargo pants to complete the pompous look.

3. TIE – This square-bottom knitted tie is basically identical to the one worn by the man himself.

4. PATCHES – Over on Etsy you will find this collection of replica Rimmer patches including his merits, rank, and nametag.

5. MINING PATCH – As well as this authentic Red Dward Mining Corporation patch set for your tie and shoulder.

6. SHOES – You will also need a pair of simple black dress shoes like these.

7. BELT – And a matching black leather belt with a standard silver buckle.

8. FACE PAINT – Finally, use a metallic silver face paint to draw your ‘H’ for hologram onto your forehead.
