Description:
You are bidding on a lovingly created digital sewing pattern of the above:
Captain Kirk's red tunic/jacket as worn in the Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. 1982.
(FOR MALES, for females see eBay item number: 143432103997)
This pattern has been carefully reproduced to reflect the actual style lines of the original design, with a considerable amount of hours of research to ensure an authentic replica. If you find images or media which corrects the design, I shall change the pattern forthwith!
My research suggests that there was more than one tunic/jacket for the Captain that looked this way.
The pattern is meant as a tool that you can use to make the tunic/jacket. The black and gold on the front left panel are purchased trims. The belt pattern is included. Badge and buckle are purchased. The tunic opens fully, and also can allow the front to open partially at the top. An undershirt pattern is included and a suggestion on how to create that puffy collar is given. There are breast seams to the front and back on the tunic/jacket. Back seams are trimmed with a purchased black trim. Back belt loop pattern is included. Shoulder epaulette, and cuff pattern included.
eBay forbids me to share a link with you, but this video contributed to the research: YouTube>Spock's Death - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
Paper pattern comes neatly folded in a pattern envelope.
Size: Please do compare your own measurements with those in the chart shown, as the pattern drafting process follows the updated 1982 BS of sizing and is not the same as the ones used by high street manufacturers today. The pattern is based on males 5'7" to 5'10" with athletic figure. The drop down menu shows the chest size. Refer to the size chart in the images. The body measurements are not given on the size chart for sizes above 50" chest - see the reason below.
Essential information:
This is a flat pattern design and will need to be made into a toile before making a finished garment. The toile allows you to make any personal fit adjustments. Sewer will need to work out construction methods (no instructions are given), layout and fabric quantities. Sizes above 48" chest are based on mathematical increments as there are no study group measurements for these sizes. This just means that you will have a little more personal fit adjustments to make.
Enjoy the challenge ahead while making your fab new Captain's Jacket!!
I had a little look on eBay for a clasp for the front, try searching rectangle twist bag buckle, or something like that - there are some really interesting finds!
This pattern is new and so is made to order, therefore having a week's handling time/dispatch.
About Daisy's Pattern Parlour:
My digitised patterns come in many guises:
I only use the best paper which is sold as fit-for-purpose in the fashion industry, and not paper that is meant for other purposes: which rips, tears and does not move with your fabric and characteristic of printed PDF patterns and A4 paper!
As my patterns are vintage, they are of vintage sizing. However, sigh not! I can make any pattern in modern sizes as well as custom sizes small or large. Just send me a message and I shall create a listing especially for you.
Flat patterns are designed as such that a toile be made, this is a step towards the finished garment and this applies to the modern patterns I make, and with exception some others. The vintage patterns are, like modern times, meant to be made straight from fabric - however, I would recommend that sewers with less experience make a toile first. Sewers with more experience could fit the paper pattern to themselves and make any necessary alterations. However, I would recommend making a toile first of all the patterns as they are vintage and may need modern modifications: such as bullet bust, wide shoulders, wide skirts to facilitate walking, and body proportions.

Please check and understand the pattern before cutting from your fabric

FAQs:
Q: Do I ship to the USA?
A: Yes, I am a member of the Global Shipping Programme.
Q: Can you provide a picture of the finished garment from one of your own patterns?
A: Flat pattern drafting is one of the steps in creating a finished garment. It is followed by making a toile to test and perfect the garment before cutting from the final fabric, often this is not necessary depending on the skill of the sewer and their ability to fit the paper pattern and make assessments. I am afraid I cannot make a finished garment for every one of my patterns as this would considerably increase my production times and costs: often it takes two days to create and digitise my multi sized patterns, this time would be increased significantly if I was to then create a toile, find and order the fabric and notions, create a finished garment, find a model, photograph, and then advertise.
Q: Can you provide a picture of the finished garment from a pattern from a manufacturer such as Vogue or Simplicity?
A: No, as I do not feel it is necessary.
Q: Are seam allowances, notchings and grain lines on the patterns?
A: Most of my older fashion plate patterns do not have seam allowances included. Seam allowances are not included in flat pattern drafting. With some of the other older patterns I transfer the notches when digitising, but I do not add them to the flat patterns. Some older patterns have grain lines on, some do not. I do include grain lines on the flat patterns.
Q: Can you make other patterns?
A: Sure! Send me a picture and I'll get back to you.
Q: Please could you supply a sample?
S: Of course! Simply send a C5 SAE to the address listed and I shall send you one. It will be a random smaller than an original pattern and may contain a single pattern piece, a cross section of a pattern sheet, or a miniature pattern.
Q. I would like a refund after I have bought this item, as I just don’t think I want it anymore!
A. I supply these patterns under the excepted category of the Consumer Contracts Regulations Act 2013 under Part 3, item 28, Limits of application: circumstances excluding cancellation, 1c and 1f. Should you choose to buy my product I will assume you agree with these terms. Should you wish to buy one of my products, sample the item, and then return for a refund – I offer a free sample service to demonstrate product performance and to aid your decision to buy. While I would be welcoming to offer a full refund service for remorse returns, it greatly increases selling costs which I would have no other alternative than to raise all my prices where every customer is affected. A remorse service also puts my product at risk of stealing, yes, unfortunately some people copy the patterns and then send them back, and many also use them and then send them back for a full refund! These products are delicate and I cannot re-sell them afterwards, so I hope you understand.
