Like many on here, I am frustrated by the lack of high quality screen accurate Wrath of Khan tunics to purchase. Because of this, I am investigating the
possibility of opening up my own shop with professional sewing artisans. At present I am searching for original patterns from Paramount and a tunic I can
borrow so one of my master sewers can examine it (NOT take it apart) for a proper authentic tunic appearance and fit. I am also looking into investment capital
to start such a venture.
The Wrath of Khan uniforms are based on German WWII officers cut uniforms. To make these have a proper look they have to have materials that will give them that true military structure and look. Not saggy like some of the sad sack Chinese garments that a re being peddled out there. These uniforms would be dead on screen accurate using burgundy wool elastique, proper stiffening, shoulder pads, full lining, etc. The belt would be real American cowhide leather, not some faux leather imposter. These uniforms would be custom fit and made in the USA. You would not find them on Ebay in the bargain basement sales realm. They would not be cheap, but you would be getting a uniform that is how they appeared in the feature films. I am aware of other producers that over promise and under perform. This would not be a basement part time business. My question to you and the Star Trek uniform community, would you support such a venture? Please post your responses here or email me at www.mmurray306@q.com
Thanks!
