I pretty sure they are motorcycle jeans, not just regular black jeans.

Well after seeing Engineering it didnt go to the sets!GeneralFROSTY said:
Yeah they appear to be charcoal gray (not quite black) motorcycle jeans.
No kidding! Did you notice the entrance to Scotty's outpost when Kirk and old Spock entered? It was an ordinary 20th century metal door with an ordinary 20th century push-to-open crossbar. In the corner above the door was a 20th century bullhorn-style public address loudspeaker, and its wires entered a 20th century aluminum wiring conduit. I'm surprised there wasn't a big red EXIT sign over the door... that's a violation of the Starfleet fire code for sure!apollo said:

I believe that these are the pants in question. Alpine Rodeo, Denim Pants.

It took me out of the film for a second with thinking, "Huh...they're still using those doors instead of the automatic sliding ones....and the visible wires...?"
The front pockets don't match, the reinforced knees don't match, and I've read on another board that someone tried the Alpinestars Rodeo pants and found them to be much baggier than the photo implies.MattMurdockYLW said:
Well, to be fair, the movie takes place a couple of hundred years from now, and that base might have been there for over a hundred years. So it stands to assume that it could have been an old and dilapidated structure.wbundrick said:
I mean, doors haven't really changed that much in the last few hundred years, have they? I actually commented on it when watching it and thought it was a nice touch.

Yeah the background Pumas werent as high as the hero DKNY. Steve referred to them as Puma High Tops and they had the Puma Logo on them. Also, Cawley confirmed what I said last year about the insignia being cast metal as opposed to resin or rubber and the 3M tape used to secure them to the uniform.
I just sent a PM to Indy Magnoli regarding doing these shirts.
If he is able to take on the project, I will go ahead and buy the 'costume cards' off Ebay and send those along to him, along with any and all images I can find online.
I suspect a decent deposit will be needed in order for him to start the project - so assuming he is able to do this, how many of us are willing to 'take a leap of faith' and invest some loot to get things started?
Anyone here familiar with Indy Magnoli knows he is one of the best out there when it comes to product and service and I have NEVER read any bad review about his work. I myself, could not be happier with my dealings with him and I am crossing my fingures that he gives the green light for this project.
I would like to start an official list of all members who are interested in one or more of these shirts. It is my intent to have all three colors made, along with the black undershirt (which I believe is what Kirk wears for most of the movie - in which case, the undershirt has the delta shield in black)
I would be wanting a command shirt, and a female red skirt for my GF. and possibley a blue shirt too (pending final price). I suspect a reasonable price for these shirts would be in the $175 - $200 range depending on production costs.
If anyone here are members of other boards related to this topic and can give a shout-out to anyone else interested, please do so as I believe the more people we have on board for this the more likely we can have them made and at a reasonable price tag.
I would be in for at least one shirt in that price range
Id like to hear what Got Maul is up to before i express interest
I would like to see what got maul is doing as well, but I haven't heard anything yet from his camp so I wanted to 'cultivate multiple options' and throw the project idea towards Indy.
I would love a Kirk shirt both Command Yellow and the Black design.
I know three of us have been talking about this shirt. Two shirts and one dress. Colors I don't know about...The_Mike said:
It would also depend on price. I am expressing interest for others, not their commitment...

Its kinda frustrating that the movie's out and there's still no good replicas available yet... only a crappy Rubies version.
okay okay
We are in the middle of prototype as we speak. The patterns are being created for men and women. We should have muslin prototype in a couple weeks.
We have already identified a dye sublimation factory in China to do the fabric. Right now, our biggest snag is identifying the correct weight of spandex. Also, gold is becoming a huge pain in the butt as a color to find in Jumbo spandex.
The pants are what occupy my mind most of the day now. We don't know if we're going to be replicating or altering an already existing pair. We are shooting for the latter.
Also, just putting this out there...is there any interest in the red cadets or grey commander uniforms ?
Try this color for the gold shirts, on the matte side, obviously
It's called "gold" go figure!
Yes! I really like the commander greys.Got Maul said:
Been following the thread, I'd be interested in one each of blue, red, and gold shirts...possibly some pants if that pans out.
I'd possibly go for a red and yellow shirt and pants. Possibly a skirt for my wife - blue or red.
Pending price, of course.
Love the Academy greys and reds - I would be interested in one or both depending on price.Got Maul said:
