Star Trek fancy dress outfits

[Corinthian7]

I'm going to a fancy dress party in the new year and my brother and I were thinking of going as Kirk and Spock. Unfortunately, I've been having a little trouble finding any online retailers that stock TOS uniforms as most of the places I find seem to be only selling the TNG costumes. I was wondering if anyone on here could recommend a good online site where we might be able to buy a couple of TOS outfits? Ideally I'd prefer it to be a UK based company as I wont be ordering for a couple of weeks so I'm not sure there would be enough time to import them from the USA. We're also hoping to get a few other people to join us as Trek characters so some where that maybe does uniforms with different rank insignia's would be cool!

I'd appreciate any help or advice you can give!

Regards

The only place I know of is thinkgeek.com, which sells short-sleeve TOS tee-shirts-- kind of generic, though.

This Thread will probably do better in General Trek, so I'll beam it over there.

Make 'em! I've dressed as Spock for 3 halloweens Find a long-sleeved V-neck shirt of the right color, and wear a black T underneath. Official insignia replicas are easy to find - case in point: http://www.intergalactictrading.com/shop.cfm?type=products&cid=STIB

Any fabric store should have a gold 'braid' you can add to the sleeves that will be close enough to pass (seen here). Total cost - less than 20 bucks.

If you're a real stickler for authenticity, finding a pair of pants with the leg 'flair' might be a little harder, as would the boots. Might add another 40-50 if it's necessary.

For my last Spock costume I modified an old black VHS cassette box into a tricorder. Glued a little square mirror to it for the 'screen', added some colored buttons, etc. It looked great! I hooked it to a camera strap and slung it over the shoulder. It's a nice prop that you don't have to carry it around with you at the party.
