My new ENT uniform

[Dr EMH]

I just bought a new Star Trek ENTERPRISE uniform from a costume shop named Pan-in-the-BOX at Chinatown Point shopping ctr in S'pore, at a price of US$99.

Hey Dr.EMH,

That's the same vendor I bought my Jedi sith capsule from the ebay auction, they've got loads of costumes & stuff, , their prices are reasonable compared with foreign vendor, and even more cheaper if you could get it from ebay auction.

Not exactly ... in fact it's cheaper to buy from the shop directly than from its eBay auction ... After the first purchase, the shop will give u a Discount Card which u a 10% discounts on ur 2nd purchases onwards.

Didn't know Pan-in-the-BOX is selling ST uniforms now. How's the quality? Is the material thick-ish or really thin?

Does it have all the correct pockets in all the correct places?

As a costume perfectionalist myself, I disagreeessment on the ENT uniform is 80% screen-accurate.

See here for some of the shortcomings I noted:

For a perfect set of uniform to fit individual sizes, tailor-made is the only choice, not mass production.

Wow, USD99 for a 80% screen-accurate jumpsuit.

Maybe can get cheaper from their ebay store if the bidding don't get too fierce...

After some simple alterations, eg: removing the Epaulets and starfleet command patch, plus additing a black inner shirt w/buttons, this uniform can easily become 90% screen accurate.

It has a total 10 zipper! (out of the canon 13 zippers) ... the missing ones are angles (2 zippers, not very obvious), and the left pants pockets (should have 2 zippers, but it only has 1). These are minor flaws, I can live with it.

Btw, when I typed my "a-s-s-essment" , it turned out to be "disagree-essment" ...

I have checked out the rest of the ENT uniforms they are selling in eBay, they are all priced at US$109.90 + US$30.00 shipping, see here:

I think there could be an overlook in this particular auction sale Plo highlighted. I'm surprised that they "under-priced" at US$49.90 + US$30.00 shipping only, unless there is a reserve price.

So, faster bid now before they realise their pricing error! ;D

Actually, you can get the stuffs from them at cheaper price on eBay IF you can win the bidding at a price that is much lower than their Selling or Store Prices. Got to try a few times and observe their Auctions for a period of time.

I won their "Styrofoam" Jedi Pouches, Belt and Food Capsules at a very good price some time back.
