Who makes the best Enterprise jumpsuits?

[kalkamel]

Hi gang,

I was wondering who makes the best Enterprise jumpsuit replicas. I was told a while back the best available one was made by the German Trek fan club, but is no longer in production. I've seen some fanmade ones on Ebay, but the departmental stripes were a bit off. I made myself a two piece one a while back... back then I figured I'd rather have a jacket and pants combo (like the aborted Disguise Inc. design) but now the jumpsuit's starting to grow on me.

Here's a pic of the 2-piece I made:

I'd rather get one then make one, if you know what I'm saying.

Just avoid Joe Kerezeman, he sells on Ebay as user named "captainamerca", or you can read reviews of his past dealings with customers:

He also posts under the username USS EXCALIBUR...

As I recalled, Kerezman was the only US seller who had stock of the German made Enterprise uniforms. But he's out of them at the moment. Thanks for the warning anyway.

This sounds like something that GeneralMayhem/ shadowdalecreations.com would really shine at.
Most everyone here seems to know their work & attention to detail.

The official german star trek fanclub does these dead-on screen plumber-jumpers (hey, rhyming)

 

[kalkamel]

Yeah, but they've been sold out for quite some time now.

Hey General,

Has there been much interest /requests for the waste-length jacket? Or the jumpsuit?

There's been some talk about the Enterprise uniforms between Shadow Duchess and I, but we're so booked up at the moment, we don't have time to work on anything that's not commissioned work, hence my unassembled Stealth Stormtrooper armor still sitting in its packing crate, patiently waiting my return.

I hope to get the chance to make one at some point in the future. In the meantime, anyone who cares to post reference photos to help illustrate the details would be helpful.

That's the seasons one and two variety, which was what the German fan club had Its blue with a purple tint to it. Seasons three and four were bluer:

I would be interested in one of these jumpsuits. Have been watching Enterprise on DVD and besides some continuity flaws, I like the show. Just bought one of the phase pistol kits that was available in the Junkyard. However, I would be interested in the Season 3 to 4 jumpsuits which were more "blue." Does anyone here have the German Fan Club suit that they could post pictures of?

 

[GeneralMayhem]

Sounds like the original suits may have been made from custom dyed fabric, and when they ran out of the original fabric, they just bought a similar color "off the rack" to make more jumpsuits.
