Sakar's entry: Star Trek Captain's UniformI made a Star Trek Uniform for our son Wolfgang's first Karnival party.
Pattern:
I used no specific pattern, but it's not self-designed either. I just took his best-fitting pants and tried to make a copy of it. Then I had to re-design and add all the Star Trek things to get a nice costume.
This is the inspiration: Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the USS Enterprise

I tried to make it big enough to get some warm clothes beneath it while keeping it comfortable for him.

I redoubled the knees with black leather, because crawling around is a demanding job for simple jersey fabric.
And the most difficult things for me were, how to make the points on the shoulder to meet perfectly and how to make the ranking pins/insignia in a proper way, in the end I used some metal jersey buttons.
