Really outstanding work -
And what's the origin of your Shatner...*ahem*...Hairpiece? It's also really good and I could use one for a future display...

Is that the Shatner Turbo 2000 wig?

Hairpiece? What makes you think I'm wearing a....


I know- it's my fanatical devotion to screen accuracy that gave it away, right?

Here's a link to the wig I used:

This is absolutely brilliant. I've thought about making one of these since, oh, 1982 or whenever the movie came out. I might have to think about it a little harder now.

That is fantastic. Way to raise the bar from the already complex Monster Maroon to the away team field jacket, and accurately reproduced! :thumbsup

Thanks, everyone!

It is doable- it's just a lot of work. It doesn't hurt to have access to some heavy-duty sewing machines, either...

Wow, I am impressed, I wish I had your level of skill with sewing LOL.

Always loved WOK, and loved those jackets. You sir, are awesome!

AMAZING! I've always loved the weirdness of this jacket and how a young Kirstie Alley looked in it . Most people tremble in fear at even the mention of this jacket and replicating it, but you totally kicked it's ass.

What you've really got me thinking about now is what other outfits I like from that era of Trek, that I haven't seen anyone re-create: McCoy's civvies from TWOK, David's outfit from Search for Spock, the red engineering rad-suit, the standard crew jumpsuit from TWOK onward... there are lots of possibilities.

We got to wear these at SDCC 2011- the weather cooperated, so we didn't die of heat stroke. We had a great time- here are a few pictures:

Unofficial theme this year? Can't be a coincidence...

I remember it being so much bigger...

And finally, not sure who these people were, but they insisted in being photographed with us...

(OK, maybe we did know...)

Hope you enjoyed these!

Once again well done! The jackets are amazing! :thumbsup

(I still want one! If I ever come across a base jacket that looks close up here I'm converting it myself! :lol)

It's funny, some people just came up to compliment the wig, not the jacket...

Such is the fame of Kirk's hair, I guess!

You were wearing the really great Zira Planet of the Apes costume?

I was thinking that looked familiar...
