When it rains it falls, I suppose! Almost my entire costume arrived this afternoon. pants, shirt, and name plate from QM, patches and badge from eBay. My collar pins, mossberg 590 airsoft, and hat are on the way, all I need are my duty belt/pouches/holster.
I paid a little more for my eBay stuff, but I thought the badge from alienentertainment and the patches from trekclassic looked better than the other choices out there.
The only thing I would have changed is the stripe material on my pants. I chose the nylon braid, but I think the poly material would have been more screen accurate. I'm sure no one at the party I'm attending will notice, but...
Also, this has been said a few times in here already, but I thought I'd reiterate that both the pants and shirt from quartermaster run a bit on the small size. I'm going for a Shane, so slightly tighter is perfect for my needs (I also need to drop 5-10 pounds anyway), but for anyone who likes a more relaxed fit, you may want to go a size up. Especially on the pants. I wear a size 36 jeans and 38 dress pants, I ordered the 38s, but they are still pretty snug in the waist. Not circulation stopping, but sitting down for long periods of time could get uncomfortable.
