RubiesRubie's Star Trek The Next Generation Deluxe Commander Picard Adult Costume Shirt

After reading the reviews on here, I was both excited and a tad nervous about getting this. I needed a TNG uniform for this Halloween and I had to pick one soon. I figured having one custom made was too expensive and would take too long to have fitted and tailored. Then I found this option. After reading many reviews from all of the star ratings and looking at customer photos, I decided to get this. For how good this looked and fit, this was the choice I went with. A weeks worth of anticipation and I received my top. It fits well, and is made of materials I expected.The sewing job on this was good, but there are minor inconsequential things that could've been better. I don't mean to nitpick, but the collar could've been a little tighter. The zipper up the back could've been made to go all the way up, not stop at the Base of the collar. The yoke seam doesn't quite line up at the shoulder, but who cares, for the price, it's worth it. It's not like I just paid $800 for it. I also wish it had gussets under the arms, so I don't keep doing a "baby huey", requiring me to do the famous "Picard Maneuver" to fix it. I agree with other reviewers who recommend wearing a black undershirt under this thing.There have been many photos of the cheap communicator pin you get, showing how seriously low quality it was. The one I received was actually in hood condition and could be given away as a gift or sold for a very low price, since I have a better one already.The pips are tiny, but of hood quality, and would suit a child more than me. I have some large, flat, proper-sized TNG pips somewhere, so these will be go on a jacket or hat or something... might even add the commbadge pin too. We'll see.All in all, this uniform is well worth the money. Now that I can be "Riker", I now need to find something for my "Deanna" to wear.I'll post photos shortly. I'll also post a photo comparing their commbadge with the one I have.

Good stuff:Inexpensive. Color blocking is great. Zipper in back makes it look good from the front. Out of the bag, fit was... not terrible.Mediocre stuff:I'm nitpicky so this list is longer. Comm badge is poorly painted plastic, and shirt was shipped with it pinned to the fabric. And not pinned straight or in the right place. This left impressions on several parts of the garment because of how things were folded. Also, the garment was very wrinkled, and the instructions explicitly say you can't iron it. It's pure synthetic, so I guess it might melt. I did iron mine, and it helped, do so at your own risk. The stitching is not very high quality and some things are uneven, particularly the collar is visibly off. The way the sleeve meets the shoulder of the garment leaves a ton of excess fabric in the armpit. I was expecting to have to rip some seams to take in parts, but this I don't know how to correcct because the hole for the sleeve is just too low- I can't extend the fabric to make it higher.. Also the sleeves themselves were too long but that was super easy to hem. I am 6'2" and ~175lbs and ordered a large for the length, and I think that was the right call. Even though it may be a bit baggy, at least the bottom of it will sit about at the waistband of my pants.So yeah, don't expect the same quality that you'd get from commissioning a handmade full replica costume, and you'll be happy I bet. I ended up buying a nicer comm badge, hemming the sleeves, ironing (despite being told not to), and I may also take it in a bit at the sides, but even straight out of the bag the shirt looks pretty decent and everybody will know what you're dressed up as!

This is a great costume for the money. The color, look of the fabric, detailing, fit and overall stitching are excellent. I'm 5'8" and 160 lbs, and the Medium is tight, but that's pretty screen-accurate. It comes with a detachable comm badge and a complete set of rank pips in a plastic bag (4 gold + 1 black). All you need to add is a black pair of pants and some black dress shoes and you're good to go!Having said all that, there are some issues to point out. My biggest complaint is that the zipper does not run all the way to the top of the collar back. This leaves a 1/2" gap that looks...goofy from any angle that isn't relatively head-on. I use a small binder clip to pinch the gap closed, and then I remove the metal tabs on the clip. This works pretty well, but it'd be nice if the zipper just ran all the way top to bottom. I also wish there was a stiffer interface in the collar to help it stand, but it's pretty good as-is (I didn't experience any collar flopping from the pips). There was a small 1/4" spot where the stitching failed, but it's near the waistline at the side, so not a huge deal.The accessories are good enough for a Halloween party, but there's a good chance you'll want to upgrade. The comm badge paint colors are actually pretty good, but it has a black border around the oval that isn't great. It's also pretty thin. I went with a QMX magnetic badge...I wish the comm badge came unattached like the pips, but there wasn't any damage to the fabric when I removed it. The pips should be a metallic brass, not chrome-y gold, but they are approximately the right size. I bought some 8mm x 3mm disc magnets and spray painted them with a metallic antique brass paint. The magnets are a dead ringer for the pips on the show.TL;DR For ~$30 this is a great buy that looks surprisingly screen-accurate.

Got my package with no problems and it arrived early as well.

EL MATERIAL LUCE MUY BIEN Y LA TALLA ES CORRECTA. VIENE CON LOS PINES DE RANGO EN METAL Y UNA INSIGNIA DE PLASTICO, TIENE EL DETALLE QUE COMO CIERRA POR LA ESPALDA EL CUELLO SE DIVIDE EN ESE PUNTO PERO POR LO DEMAS ES RECOMENDABLE

Great costume: does not include pants. The fit is great but runs slightly large (I found the sleeves long). Bought this for a simple and fun Halloween costume to wear at work and for a party, I got a lot of compliments. It was very comfortable and easy to find pants that’s went with the outfit.The communicator badge is plastic and the pips are metal. The badge is a pin and very light-weight. The shirts fabric photographs great but can feel a little cold, I wore a black jogging shirt to stay warm.The fabric wrinkles quite easily, so I recommend you keep it hung/hanging as soon as you take it off. Packaging recommends washing by hand instead of machine washing.

Habe diese Kostüm für mein Mann bestellt.Er liebt es! Obwohl es, meiner Meinung nach etwas kurz ist am Bauch. Mein Mann ist sehr schlank, deshalb steht es ihm gut.Junior wünscht sich das gleiche Kostüm, „leider kann es nur 1 Kapitän Picard geben“ sagt mein Mann. 🫣

Given this is a rather pricey purchase (IMO), I read as many reviews as I could before making the purchase, and I was not disappointed. I weigh 170-175lb, 5'6, and wear size 32-33 (all depends on the manufacturer). Was very tempted to get a medium, but all the reviews convinced me to get a large and I was not disappointed. Even the large had a slight snug fit feel to it. I think the sleeves were a little too long, but I could certainly live with it.This is a pricey costume, which is understandable because that's how licensing works, but it was all worth it when I got a wonderful laugh from my wife, who is a true TNG fan. She didn't know I ordered this costume, so when she walked into the room, she stared at this Captain Picard wannabe for like 5 seconds before bursting into laughter, and she had a big smile on her face whenever she saw me on that day. I posted my Captain Picard look on Facebook, and it generated the most Likes on my profile EVER. If you don't want to be disappointed, please read as many reviews as you can, just so you set your expectation straight. It is a licensed Halloween costume, not a $60 sweatshirt.
