T.O.S. Klingon Vest in the Original Fabric

[Shaunn Lawrence]

I have a client who is a nut about Star Trek (T.O.S.), he's a GREAT GUY..but?
he is quite a stickler for authenticity on like a Molecular level..LOL LOL LOL

So? Somehow? He managed to track down the actual fabric for the
"Klingon Vests" used in the series from 1966 to 1969.

It was very light weight, and it had to be cut going Against the Grain..because the pattern runs Vertically, but in the show? It runs Horizontally, so I had to give it some body, by adding some "Cotton Muslin" onto the backside of the Vest. To be extra sure... it was also lined in Black Cotton Broadcloth.

Let me know what you think.

 

[Jessica]

OMG that's awesome!! Where can you get said fabric?

 

[Shaunn Lawrence]

I'm sorry Jessica. I have NO IDEA!

The customer provided the fabric himself, it was a Long Dress originally.

But I had to cut it up to make it into a Vest. Sorry Kiddo.


Believe me...I wish I knew.

 

[reaper63]

Did this customer actually recieve his costume though?

that would be something new to me.

 

[Shaunn Lawrence]

Yes he did! Looks like school is in session!

 

[Apollo]

As well as it should be.

Untill all customers have been dealt with if I were you Shaunn I would not be putting these threads up.

I'm sure you well know that this as well as other boards have long memories and rightfully so.

Yes he did! Looks like school is in session!

A better hat? For what Micheal? Left over fabric, and patterns? You received your "First Contact" uniform, and even Jose Salcedo could not see what you had a problem with? Aside from Max's cat having pissed on your costume, without either of us knowing about it.

What left over fabric Mike? What "Patterns" Mike? I As I don't sell copies of my patterns..this should be quite interesting.

Any "Left Over Fabric"? If there was in fact...anything "Left Over"? From what project I have NO IDEA....Was taken by Mark Dickson!

As was 30-years of my entire life, when he trashed ALL of the contents of my Storage Facility...back in 2005.

But...by all means? Feel free to enlighten me?

Well to remind you. We switched from the ill fitting, **** covered, way too late for the premiere, crooked and inaccurate by laymen's eyes, First Contact uniform for the Black Imperial Officer uniform that I also PAID AN EXTRA $350 for. Note: The First Contact costume was sold as the most accurate ever. It wasn't even close.

You promised me a better Officers's hat, when I pointed out how wrong and sloppy the one you made is. Looks like a 1st year costumer made it. Not one of the best out there.

When you never did that, you promised me the left over fabric, so I could have one made, so it would match.

Then you promised me the patterns for the uniform, so I could make a matching green one.

Plus some parts of the the uniform are so sloppy they need re-doing.

Which you couldn't do and still make CELEBRATION 3. So you promised to do them later. And you vanished.

I've cut you every break on this project and you just vanished.

I, in fact, knew where you were and left you alone because you clearly needed some breathing room.

It might be time to just come clean and make good.

I surely would never expect that.

 

[peter1701]

Ah Shaunn. I am not the only one huh. Do right

 

[micdavis]

I remember you were part of the First Contact debacle.

Were those jackets crap or what?

 

[reaper63]

Seems to me the crap never ended and he's been trying to hide all this while "repairing" his reputation.

so, that's 3 current people you have screwed over. Make it right before trying to sucker new people in.

 

[peter1701]

Recently I paid for something and was promised in email the material would be spandex for a TMP jumpsuit. When I received the material had been changed w no warning. The definition of Internet fraud my attorney assures me. Oh and plus the jumpsuit had many other problems. That was over a year ago.

 

[reaper63]

I paid over a year and a half ago for a Original BSG Uniform and haven't gotten anything. No neef for any lawyer, this is theft.

 

[micdavis]

.........

 

[Apollo]

Looks like some things never change :unsure

As for who I am Shaunn I am someone who has read the hundreds of posts of people who you have either ripped off completely or sent shoddy costumes to.

I don't like seeing my Brothers and sisters ripped off and I am certainly not going to stand here and see you start all over again.

I, and I am sure the people posting here, expect you to make good on the transactions that are in limbo

 

[Shaunn Lawrence]

I remember you were part of the First Contact debacle.

I am at your leisure Mike. When can you come over? Are you still living in California? If not? I will need a copy of your measurements.

NO! I don't have your measurements anymore...or I wouldn't be asking for them.

And if you think my sewing is CRAP? Then why have me sew for you?

Yeah! I'm just SUCH AN ASS! How do I live with myself?
