Star
Trek Costume
Sources
Many people write to me asking where to get patterns
and accessories for your Trek Uniforms, so here are
some website's and or info on sources for Trek

RODDENBERRY.COM
(formerly LINCOLN ENTERPRISES)
Carries
all the patterns and the most common authentic accessories
like comm badges, rank insignias & official props. This store has been
around for over 30 years and was the first Star Trek store created by
Gene himself and run by Majel and now Eugene.

INTERGALACTIC
TRADING COMPANY
Good source for the chain braid for
the WOK uniform. Other
accessories like patches, insignias..This company has been
selling SciFi merchandise for 25 years and is still a leader in
the scifi retail business..
LOCAL FABRIC STORES
Best place to get all your fabrics
and dyes is your local fabric
store..most cities have sources for the fabrics used on all the
Trek series and movies..zippers, fabrics, snaps, velcro..etc..
Here's just a few...

Associated
Fabric Corporation
source for the original spandex used in the first season of
The Next Generation

JOANN'S
Loads of stuff to help make your costumes just right

GARMENT
DISTRICT
Do a search on garment districts in your area..Garment Districts are
usually the best source for finding rare and unusual fabrics. You
can often haggle with the vendor to bring the price down..Only
problem with garment districts are that their inventory changes weekly
so if you find a fabric for your Star Trek uniform you better buy
as much of it as your pocketbook will allow..chances are that
next week it will be gone. One place here in Los Angeles that is pretty
consistant is Michael Lavine's..it is located on 9th and Maple St.
If your ever in LA thats the place to visit along
PROP REPLICAS

Roddenberry.com
Sells replicas from all the series, but you have to act quick..they go
fast and are not available till the next batch is made.

Best source for props is Ebay..you
can find vertually any
Trek Prop there and sometimes at really good prices.
