Hey, FHC, it's good to see pics of your uniform. It looks really good. I was thinking about getting a Nemesis uniform from those guys.

I believe they are located in the Phillipines, which could mean customer service could be risky. I've also heard their stuff isn't very accurate. You'd be bettter off ordering from Kronos One or Warp One in the UK if you wanted stuff like that and you're on a budget.
Shadow Dale is going to be the most accurate and the most reliable source for uniforms. You pay for that quality, of course, but you get what you pay for from quality to service with them.

Hi Knightone - have you had any dealings with Warp One at all or know of any reviews of their products - I just had a look at their site and tbh they don't seem promising. I'm tempted to splash out on a Nemesis uniform and having seen Shadow Dales pics wanted to compare them against Warp One.

I haven't, but Berns says he gets all his uniforms from them. So maybe he can give you more info.
Just know that any uniform from Shadow Dale will blow any uniform from Warp One or Kronos One out of the water. Shadow Dale will be far more accurate as they make their patterns based on actual screen used pieces or from information provided by the costumers who worked on the series and films from what I understand. Also Shadow Dale uses the correct materials in either the correct or as close to correct as possible colors. Warp One and Kronos One will use cheaper fabrics like polyester and the colors probably won't be close at all. On a budget, I'm sure Kronos One or Warp One will do. However, as I said previously, you get what you pay for and you get plenty for what you pay Shadow Dale for. I've been considering getting a Nemesis uniform from them as well and have been corresponding with them about it.

Ok, here are some photos and a bit of video. I am posting links due to the fact that I did not reduce the images in the least. Some are taken with flash and some are not. The last one is Video. I canb honestly say that it hangs better on a person then a hanger, but you will get the idea.

Indeed. The Warp-One uniforms today are not what they used to be. My TWOK uniform was made from a fabric that resembled the original wool (although it was synthetic). Today their TWOK uniforms seem to be made out of obvious nylon.
In the old days they used to make good quality (not 100% accurate) for a low price.
But I never heard of Shadow Dale untill today. And they wiped me off my feet. One thing though, although they show great stuff on their site, the uniform Capt. Harriman wears in of gods and men looks a lot like my Warp-One jacket. If this is what Shadow Dale makes, it's way overpriced and not accurate at all.
Compare it with what's on their site
And see for your self. I would have sworn Harriman's jacket was made by Warp-One/Chronos-One

I really don't think that it looks like a Warp-one
Here's the move jacket
Shadow Dale
and the Warp-One
You can see for one thing the belt loops on the front of the jacket are the same in the movie one and the Shadow Dale. I can also see and the level of trim around the shoulder strap is the same between the two. Also, the movie photo matches my jacket where the opening fastens to the flap.

I can tell you my jacket weighs in at about 6 pounds. I would hate to film a movie with this hot made of wool jacket on!!!

I think it's great. It was the first piece that I checked out. I have seen cheaper ones that looked like a part out of a tank model kit or something.
