Help with Khan Costume - Almost Embarassed

I'm almost embarrassed to ask on this site. Everyone has such elaborate costumes that are so well done.

I'm putting together my costume for the year. My friends and I always have a huge costume party and this year features the sequel to last year's Slenderman scavenger hunt in which Slenderman chases party-goers through the night as they hunt for the "Eight Pages". My friend, Phil, wears the costume and he was on the front page of last year's Portsmouth Herald (source) for his part in the parade (image below).

Anyway, that was just to hint at how seriously we take our once-a-year tradition.


I'm assembling my costume this year, and I want to be Khan from the new Star Trek movie, Into Darkness. But, as everyone probably knows, the official Khan shirts from Anovos are sold out. I've been scouring the internet and had to settle on this alternative (source Kranson uniform):

Question 1: How can I add the black, slightly-reflective, insignia? Any thoughts?



Question 2: where can I get appropriate pants?


And...


Question 3: where can I get similar boots?


If I could've had the official Khan shirt, I'd be willing to spend the cash for the official pants, but since the costume won't be perfect anyway, I'm looking for cheap alternatives. Same goes for the boots. Has anyone assembled a cheaper version of this costume?
 
If you're welling to spend a lot, then there's this;

and

He also has this;

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Command Mens Crew Uniform Undershirt T Shirt | eBay

That's basically what Khan wears. Kirk wears the same when they enter the Vengeance. It's an undershirt, but it looks a little light.

This one, same seller, looks a little more dense

personally, I can't afford them. I also want a coat. And I want the one during the Klingon fight, which also has an additional loose turtleneck-hood. I haven't seen good coats of that yet. However, that getup is entirely different. The coat he wears during his starfleet uniform bit, is in the last battle.. Which I have seen I think.

Thanks for the reply. I saw that style of shirt (its by Anovos), but it doesn't quite match the official Khan shirt (also by Anovos). So, if I can't have it perfect, then I'm not going to drop $100 on a t-shirt.

I saw the other t-shirt you posted, but reviews indicated it was pretty low quality (not to mention, it's available for $30 elsewhere). Additionally, it's not a mock-neck like the ones in the movie. I'm pretty sure it's just a long-sleeve t-shirt with an iron on insignia.

The boots and the pants are just too much for not having an official costume. That's kind of why I was hoping to find some cheap knock offs.

Anyway, thanks for the input.
 
Yeah, hence why I said 'if you're willing to spend a lot'

My lady Khan has just black skiing underwear and I am also looking for a starfleet logo to put on to it. I have no pants that even look like that, but I have zip-off pants in the same colour that work alright as a temporary solution...
 
I've discovered these pants. Budget friendly. They miss a bit of the detail, but for general costume work, the color, fit, and material look really good. If you choose to follow the link, check the "dark gray" color.

And... Lady Khan?
 
Yes, check the link in my signature. I'm female ;) so I had to genderswap him. Still thinking of possible wigs... at least they have the exact eyecolour as lenses available here....with strength.
