ANOVOS is now offering the Command Division Gold Tunic from Star Trek™ The Original Series' Third Season. As the first costume / uniform piece of our men’s Original Series line, our focus is on providing the most accurate representation of the 60’s era top using decades worth of accumulated research and access to original pieces (special thanks to CBS, Paramount, Roddenberry Productions and Greg Jein).

ANOVOS offers this exacting replica in three distinct styles: the Captain Kirk style with Captain braid, the Lieutenant Sulu style with Lieutenant rank braid, and the braidless Ensign Chekov style. Each tunic features the Command Division Delta Shield Enterprise patch, and is available for pre-order until April 15, 2012.

The braidless Ensign Chekov edition also comes with the added option of buying the TOS Rank Braid Kit, so that you can add on your own rank, from Lieutenant Junior Grade to Captain... and, to answer your question, it doesn't come with either Chekov's Guide to Russian History or Chekov's Guide to Russian Epics (feat. Cinderella).

Using the exact double-knit fabric, elusive diamond-weave neck material, and patterns drawn from a screen-used hero Spock uniform, this top will meet every fan expectation even to the most critical eye — right down to the braid that was given the seal of approval by Greg Jein himself at SDCC 2011.

Priced at $279.95 (Ensign Chekov with Braid Add-On Bundle) to $289.95 (Captain Kirk)

ANOVOS took great care in constructing this tunic. By carefully assembling the original pattern, repeating the dye process multiple times to get the perfect match, and producing several prototypes, we re-created this outfit down to the last detail. Relive the nostalgia of the Original Series with this iconic, double knit Command Division Gold Tunic.

Don’t miss this chance to own the Original Series Men's Tunic in Command Division Gold!

In order to help our customers understand sizes, we've put together this set of instructions. Please feel free to print these out (click here for the printer friendly version), so when you do go to get measured you can use it as a guide.

IMPORTANT: Please refer to this sizing and measurement guide. This will provide the information needed how to properly measure yourself (if you haven’t been measured already) to select a size. Buyer assumes full responsibility of sizes submitted for order. Upon submission of the order, the Buyer absolves ANOVOS of responsibility for incorrect measurements submitted and reserves the right for any exchanges to be made at the complete discretion of ANOVOS.

Please have your measurements taken properly by a professional tailor if possible. This will not only help in the selection of the size you will need to purchase, but also aid in additional tailoring where needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Sizes taken directly from commercial clothing should never be used as substitution of physical measurements. In addition, the sizing for the tunics run on the smaller side, so if you're on the "edge" between two sizes, it's best to probably go up a size.

The purchase of tunics and dresses will require additional tailoring similar to purchasing a men's suit or women's dress at a major department store. The lengths of tunic or dress sleeves can be adjusted as there are a few extra inches of material at the cuff. This will require repositioning of the rank braid as well, where applicable. Tunic and dress hems can be adjusted, as these also have extra material for most taller persons. A professional tailor, or someone with professional tailoring experience, should be able to make these alterations.

How to Measure

Some of the basics in measuring:

1. Keep the tape firm but not tight.
2. Make sure the tape is level around the area you are measuring.
3. Take measurements in inches to determine correct sizing.
4. Round up all measurements to the nearest inch. (Example: 10.5 inches round up to 11 inches.)

How to measure specific areas for fitting:

1. Chest: Measure across the widest part of the chest or across the nipples.
2. Waist: Measure from the navel point around the thinner area of the belly.
3. Neck: Measure around the adams apple of the the neck.
4. Arm Length: With your arm relaxed at side and slightly bent, measure from the center back of the neck, over point of shoulder, down the outside of the wrist.
