Any hope you could get a pattern made from.one of them, I'm sure peeps would pay for one.
I 'm not motivated by money, thanks I'd be happy to do it to help others, that's enough profit for me. I merely ask that if I do you a favor, remember and when I need something, try to pay it back. Or just pay it forward and help the next person with a problem. It's not like no one has helped me out with info here, it's been a godsend at times.
However, probably the simplest way would be if there was one of you that wanted it and lived in the bay area, and would just come and do measurements or take rubbings or take photos or whatever they need to do. This is what I did before. I could also point you to some sources: there's a place called ''nahrains' in the area that sells outdoor equipment repair materials that USED ( 2-3 years ago) to sell the correct thermian fabric. And of course, you used to be able to get the shoulder plastic from Ikea.
I've already had a pattern done, but it's in the hands of my tailor....I can ask of she still has the one she made (years ago) . Assuming not, would photos of the uniforms help? Also, specify WHICH uniform, and I'll see if I have it.
PS. the thermians uniforms are actually 'midnight blue /grey', (they look black on the screen), and they are made of rubberized tent liner. They are in bad shape, because apparently this material was not intended to be bent repeatedly in a small area (as happens with clothes) so the rubber surface cracked in these areas. The shoulder panels are actually made of ikea plastic shelf liner (I found this out by accident).
Have no idea where you could get the grey whip cord wool, a shame really as it drapes beautifully and looks really great in photos. Luckily, the 4 sets of uniforms were all made of different materials...for example, guy fleegman's uniform is spandex, whereas gwen's convention outfit is made of jersey, Dr. lazrus' convention outfit is made of stretch velour, beleive it or not. So there's a wide range of fabrics you can use and still be correct and accurate.
Never give up, never surrender!
PS. I also own the first protector miniature that was built for the film, and it was screen used as the ' TV series' ship, so it's twofer! Sadly, no one I knew at lucasfilm was able or willing to tell me who actually built the model....
