Rubie's Costume Star Trek Gold Star Fleet Uniform Shirt Costume

Looks great, made well.

It's a typical costume cut, square and long in torso and arms. The insignias is fair, and overall the costune is recognizable. No fashion design awards being won here. The material has decent stretch to it, especially in the black area around the neck. It had that "chemical" smell and the material felt a little rough to the touch at first. No complaint just fyi in case you plan to wear it fresh out of the package. The shirt wears well and has held up to a few rounds through the washer already. Will beam down with another landing party again.

Wanted a Star Trek captain's shirt for an upcoming visit to the Star Trek Tours in Ticonderoga NY. Looked for a shirt matching those seen in the 2009 Star Trek movie and that had a decent fit. Ordered both a medium and large version of this item. At 5'11", 178 lbs. a large T-shirt is my normal size, but the large version of this shirt looked like XL. The medium did fit a lot better, but not good enough for a uniform shirt. This costume's black collar is also far too wide compared to those in the Star Trek movies, and it's distracting (see attached photo). This costume's OK for Halloween or a costume party, but not near good enough for a Sci-Fi convention or in my case a Star Trek tour where I'm going to be in several photos.

I was a little leary about ordering this due to some of the reviews, but since the price dropped, I decided I could take the chance. Now, this review is from a female fan's perspective; I am actually satisfied with my product. I am reviewing my particular shirt, not every single one out there and do realize there can be some flukes out there.The pros: the pattern on the shirt looks great and the material is strong and thick, very durable unlike half the costumes I've seen in other stores. The color is accurate and although the pin detail leaves more to be desired, the sleeve stripes look top-notch. The collar is indeed v-shaped and stitched tightly and suitably in place without any flaws. Putting it on, I found it comfortable and actually flattering on me despite it being a man's shirt. The shirt was a tad big but not in any way that would detract from its appeal.The cons: they aren't huge problems to me considering I have both a mother and sister who sew; the body of the shirt is a tad long on me as well as the sleeves. Again, these aren't real issues to me since they can be fixed very easily. With that in mind, I feel the money I paid is worth it for the product I received: a brand-new, high-quality costume shirt.In the end, I am very happy with my purchase and I am considering buying the other colors Rubie's has to offer.

Very good!

I should have looked at the review pictures before ordering, but I didn't. I looked at the product's pictures only. Looking at the product's pictures, and seeing the price was pretty high for a shirt, I expected nicer material. The shirt I got is very cheap thin polyester that is white on the inside and the gold is printed on. The black part around the color is translucent because it's so thin. The emblem and rings at the sleeves feels like HTV (vinyl). Maybe the price is so high because the tag reads "Star Trek", but who knows. It is Halloween costume quality, like what you would find at those Halloween pop-up stores that happen in October that are just a money grab. I was pretty disappointed.

The material is simple, heavy-enough polyester with the Star Trek arrowhead logo pattern printed onto the cloth. The actual badge is silkscreened onto the cloth, rather than embroidered as described. The bands at the cuffs are also screenprinted. The collar of the gold shirt is basically unfinished -- it is merely sewn to the black "dickey" which is of very thin, cheap, shapeless polyester.The fit as Men's Large is good. Wallymart would call it medium. Sleeve length good (for 6'1", 175lb).So ... it works as a cheap, wear-it-once Hallowe'en costume. But if you're looking for a truly "deluxe" item that at least presents as a real everyday shirt (let alone a realistic representation of the actual uniforms worn in the movie!!), then this is NOT it.It's more money than I want to pay for this quality though not entirely unreasonable if you are expecting a play-time/dress-up outfit. But I would rather pay more for something better.Most disappointing was the inaccurate description in the listing.

For a group Halloween costume, my 12yo son wanted to be Capt. Kirk. I found this shirt locally, but only in a much-too-large size. Ordered from Amazon to get the proper size (he wears a men's Medium in most brands, but SMALL was the right size here), along with the original series phaser (also through Amazon). He loved the combo so much that he agreed to share the cost of ordering the original series communicator and tricorder as well. Not yet Halloween, yet it's already been worn many times at home.This shirt is billed as for the Kirk from the recent movies, but my original series fan was perfectly happy with it. Was easy to make the complete uniform with a pair of black dockers and black dress shoes. He made holsters for the phaser and communicator with some "pleather" from the fabric store, attached to the belt loops via safety pins.
