Roddenberry Productions The button to be replaced by the lock The lining which is velcro. this will be removed and replaced with black lining of the same size for the chains and snaps The button hole where the lock will fit into The button where the lock will go the back belt loops. no replacing needed here how even the uniform is. This "Gail" piece is well worth it. I think you can fix it as original for way less then anyone will be willing to sell you a real good piece. The sleeve. Unfortunately I don't think the rounded ends can be added to this. The white band can not come off for separate cleaning, but oh well. Again you can see its sewn into place The uniform back. Again how even it is. The back belt center loop is perfect. rear belt loop This button can be replaced with the security wheel The button again The back button in place of the security wheel Ok, the only thing I didn't like was the cheesy belt buckle Another look I really like the shirt and I do wear it in the real world to work Its an actual brand. I couldn't find an actual website. The arms are just simple longsleeves. but the neck is cool

Of course the workman like jumpers of Voyager pale in comparison to the classy look of these. Where would I find a nice uniform like this, and what would it run me? Look forward to hearing from you.

No, these guys are going to make every popular Trek uniform... give them time to update there site and expand things a bit... I know the guys running Anovos personally.. they are going to do great things with Trek!! BG

Posts: 17 01/27/10 06:45:59	Well Bob?? From what I can see? The Fabric looks okay. But there are a few problems with the Jacket. A). There is NO "Button" on the bottom edge of the Shoulder Strap! So?? That is kind of nasty! B). The Back "Belt Loop" is NOT QUILTED like it should be! (It aslo doesn't look functional) C). The Black Belt..is NOT made of Nylon Webbing, like I see in these photos. That sort of belting is used on "The Visitor" uniforms from "V"!! Not Star Trek!! D). I dont see ANY sort of "Piping" on the Back of the Jacket, where the Black Verticle lines are. E). The Shoulder Strap should have an Antique Metallic Gold- "Sutasche Trim" on it which can only be sewn on by hand! I see NO EVIDENCE of that here. She has done this Shoulder Strap entirely by machine and used common everyday "Gold Piping". Which is "Quaint"...but NOT ACCURATE!! F). The Black Trim on your Jacket is a "Black Bias Tape" on the front! And a "Black Nylon Webbing" on the adjacent recieving end of the other side. Why 2-different trims?? Neither is correct!! As they should BOTH be done in Black Wool!! But even still?? 2-seperate types of trim?? That is just...NOT DONE!!! G). And a PLASTIC BELT BUCKLE?????? What the...???? What ever you paid for this costume..it couldn't have been very much!!! My personal opinion?? There is SO MUCH re-working to do to make it accurate...that it really is NO BARGAIN!!! But as I said....that is ONLY my opinion!! If you are happy with it?? Well?? That I suppose is ALL that really matters!! "The Admiral"

Thing is I just spent some good cash (although compared to some not much) on this uniform, buying a security wheel, pips, squeaks, the chains, the snaps and I have all the insignias. I think I spent some $300 on the project so far. I'm almost afraid to ask what's your price to just start a uniform right out of the box? I'm thinking of continuing with what I have and use it as a back up to a better one. So from start to finish whats your going price, and don't include all the brass except the sleeve rank, I'll let you take care of that all yourself.

Posts: 5 12/13/10 04:31:00	Hi I was wondering. With all of these little cheap changes you had to do to your TWOK Uniform. My Question: Why has not (Gale) made these changes to her Uniforms she is Producing now? The Uniforms that she is producing seem to not be made with the correct specs. I am sure that at least someone has brought this to (Gales) attention. And she still continues to Produce and Sell these in-accruate (sort of) Uniforms. It just seems to me that (Gale) could make these small accruate changes and Produce for the fans a real Uniform that we would not have to Pay and wait for, then when we finally get it you have to take it to another seamstress to get it Corrected. She is selling Half of this uniform on Ebay for the outragious price of $199.99 And it does Not even include the Pants? Just seems like see just wants to take advantage of fans buy taking their money and giving them something she cheaply wipped up, with no consern for Specs, A sort of looking like from a distance ST Uniform.

If she went ahead to make a perfect jacket it would cost her more therefore cost us about the same as Shadow Dale which is about $600. Alteration on my jacket has so far come to about $200. Still a good deal. Again just my opinion.

For a budget uniform it does look good but as you have said it would only take some small corrections to vastly improve the uniform (the shoulder strap for example). The thing that has put me off the most though is her reluctance to send me any pics of her uniforms. gale has recently changed the material she uses to wool gabardine, because of this i asked her if she could send me some pics of the new uniform. Gale replyed saying she would send pics when she had some available. Needless to say this was some time ago and so far no pics. I got the same response when i asked for more up to date pics of her older uniform. Surely considering how many she sells it would be a simple matter to take a quick photo and update her listing but it seems this is too much hassel. It is a shame because i think if gale was a little more open to making these corrections it would be a very good uniform, heck if the shoulder strap was better i'd snap one up myself. As it is by the time ive paid a tailor to do all the alterations i could have had one made up from scratch by the same tailor.

I asked her what material she used so I can get more to bring the jacket out. She asked me how much I needed. I told her about 3 yards to be sure. She mailed me the extra material ... no charge. Take it what you will, but to me? She's a stand up woman.

Take it what you will, but to me? She's a stand up woman. I'm sure your absolutely correct, my post might have seemed a little a bit more critical than i intended. I was just saying that for the simple matter of sending an up to date picture she could have had another sale and i dont understand why as a seller you would not make that extra effort. As for the quality of her uniform, I bought some of the pants from her to go with the twok i'm making at the moment and im happy with the quality of her work and her service. bottom line is there is a huge difference price wise between Gales uniform and other more accurate uniforms such as those offered by Shaunn (23rd centuary costumer) whose work appears to be superb. For the price i think $200 is fair considering the amount of labour that goes into a monster maroon. I say with all honesty that if she made the shoulder strap more accurate and added piping to the back i would snap one up myself without hesitation. P.S have you made any of the alterations yet? if so it would be great to see some pics! Last Edited By: Rouge2 12/23/10 00:32:35. Edited 2 times.

I will still have some work to do but for the price it is a really nice piece of work. She made the sleeve band thinner and custom sized the pants for me. I know there are things that are not perfect but for under $200 you can't beat it.
