the absolute BEST Star Trek tunics ?

[nwjedidave]

okay here is a question I don't think I've seen answered pertaining to 1st season tunics

(do we know) was the screen used fabric velvet or velour?

sorry but I'm a fabric NOOB and not sure if they are different or the same type of fabric....

 

[GeneralMayhem]

The originals were velour, which is distinctly different from velvet.

 

[Apollo]

First season was a Velour

 

[nwjedidave]

now THIS original series tunic recreation is what I call one TIGHT INVISIBLE zipper ......
holy WOW.

from the John Pearse Christie's auction picture collection

 

[GeneralMayhem]

That's what an invisible ziper is supposed to look like. Are you used to seeing something else? Sounds like you're used to looking at invizible zippers that have been applied using a standard zipper foot instead of applied properly with the special zipper foot that's required.

That Christies' tunic is probably one that was made for DS9 "Trials and Tribbleations".

The Color, the nap, the Insignia, Sisko looked like he was wearing a Potatoe sack. :lol

Here's our first pair of "sparkle" TOS pants. For a customer in France...

 

[temponaut]

Very nice, GM.

There was a time when I might have been able to fit into those pants. It was around the time I was 14 years old.

 

[nwjedidave]

SPARKLEY .......

nice.

 

[Shadow Duchess]

:lol
Precisely what I thought when I saw the measurements and the pants being created.

Sometimes we wear stretchy pants.

Just for fun.

I have a old first season wrap that was made in the 80's its not the correct color, were can I find "avocado" dye so I can change the color ?



Thanks,
aljf :confused

 

[GeneralMayhem]

The first season wraps were actually olive green. Here's a photo I took of a swatch from the original bolt, next to a FS Fan Deck color range...

With flash, and without.


You can use RIT dye to adjust the color of your existing wrap to match.

What two colors do I need to mix to make olive green ? :$



Thanks,
aljf :confused

 

[GeneralMayhem]

The proper formula is 1 pkg Tan, 1/4 tsp Dark Green, but you will need to take into account the existing color of your garment before mixing the dye.

Here are some pix with a flash

with out a flash

My guess on the color would be a mint Green ? would the same formula work 1 pkg Tan, 1/4 tsp Dark Green still work ?

Thanks,
aljf :confused
