Shipping Note (USA):
Due
to new international postal regulations suspending standard shipping
methods to the United States, all orders are now shipped exclusively via
Express mail. This mandatory change ensures customs compliance but
results in an outrageous increase in shipping costs..
I hope this situation is only temporary, I will offer regular shipping option again as soon as everything returns to normal.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Use of the Polyester Fabric began in the Third Season. The velour that had been used up to that time, was shrinking every time it was cleaned. So, a more durable Fabric that matched the established colors was found. These pieces were part of that what was left over when the show ceased production in 1969, after a part was utilized for the Phase 2 pre-production uniforms.
This is the original vintage fabric, in perfect condition.
From Paramount stock to make the Command Uniforms : Kirk, Sulu, Chekov, etc.
