Here's my Kirk outfit.
I got the tunic on eBay, and it's made of basically sweatshirt fabric, but it has a hidden zipper and a decent insignia. The color is a bit too yellow (I look more like Kirk from the Animated Series) and the braid on the sleeves was craft-store quality crap. I found a vendor online selling fairly accurate braid, so I ordered that and replaced it. I also had to shorten it by a good 3 inches so it would look more like a uniform and less like pajamas
The pants are black polyester "casino pants", which have no pockets. When I got them I cut the bottoms off the legs and made paper patterns for the bells. Will the addition of some fusible interfacing and a bit of careful sewing, I ended up with reasonably accurate pants.
The boots are inexpensive black riding boots with a zipper up the back. Not strictly accurate, but they look good.
I got a leather strap, dyed it black, and added velcro patches, and I wear that under the hem of the tunic to stick communicator, phaser, cell phone, etc.
The phaser is the one from the Wand Company, and I have a Wand Company communicator on my belt.
Recently, I got an Anovos velour tunic to replace this one, so I'm going to alter this one to be Matt Decker's from The Doomsday Machine. Already got the insignia and braid, I'll just need a couple of computer tapes to rub together...

These are my Anovos TOS and TNG costumes.
Like the TOS fit but the TNG feels a little loose on me.
They look great! Im still looking for Anovos TNG pants. What boots are you using?

Hey Guys,
(Sorry if this is not quite the right thread for this, but there's very little in the way of Star Trek here.....)
I'm looking for trim and rope etc., to add to my pants for the ANOVOS TNG mess uniform. I've found a site for gold sleeve lace, but anyone have suggestions for the red trim or the gold and black rope?
Thanks!

Thanks, Apollo!
I'm wearing R.M. Williams boots. Very comfortable, and look pretty close to the Florsheims...

I'm continuing a post from a different thread... but didn't want to go off topic there. So Anovos starting to ship the ST:ENT jumpsuit. I'm just curious:
Who ordered them on here?
If you've gotten the shipping notice/received it?
Which ones, command, services, sciences?
I've ordered a Large sciences division. The updates said that the variants were in final QC approval.... by variant they mean division colors... it seems like command was approved first.
I'm just curios so I get a good idea when I could get my ship notice... pictures would be cool...

Oops! I was always watching that thread and wasn't paying attention to it being just Star Wars. LOL.
Here is my Large Command Gold

As expected the quality is amazing. The zipper pulls are a match for the show... nicely done again Anovos.
As photos are deceiving, what color is the jumpsuit? Looks dark blue like late season 3, which Anovos noted on the description ... but not as royal blue as the proto-type photos.
Your jumpsuit looks fantastic!!! And a Captain! Congrats!
Can't wait to get my shipping email... you must be extremely happy! I have my commander rank pips ready.
When did you order/how long was your wait? I really can't say I waited long.... I ordered last October... So I'm expecting to be one of the last ones fulfilled.
Thanks for the photo.
It's a very dark blue. I was surprised at how dark it was when I opened the package. Way darker than their prototype photos. I don't know much about these costumes other than I love Enterprise and I really wanted one. Your comment about Season 3 being darker was the first I have heard of that. I would be interested in more information from people who have screen used jumpsuits.
I held off on the pre-order on this due to the 2+ year long wait I experienced with my Star Wars pre-orders. There was a sale in March 2017 or discount or something so I ordered it then. So I didn't wait too long since I held off for so long but it seemed like I waited along with the rest of the people as I had planned on it. I just didn't give them my money until March. LOL.
Really hoping you get yours soon!

So when it comes to screen used and colors, colors on screen can be very different in real life due to lightning and the fabric. Example is Kirk's gold TOS tunic was actually a pistachio green, that's why his other captain shirts were green in TOS.
From what I can gather, the main characters had the following:
Season 1 dark blue/purple... like indigo
Season 2 same
Season 3 transition to dark blue
Season 4 a more plain blue, I don't think it was the same blue as the proto-type tho.
The extras had the leftovers from the last season... So some extras in season 4 had the 1st season indigo, others dark blue, some blue.. So track the main characters.
I've seen that the material was a blue jean like fabric... but some had different material.
Some season 4 jumpsuits under certain lighting were blue sometimes dark blue... not as dark as season 3 though.
Thanks, I hope I get my soon too!

Oh and if you go to the Anovos site, all the way down where it says manufacturing it talks about the dark blue versus the purple color.
