Jim,

1) I have 4 TMP uniforms. Kirk Class D, Sonak Class A, Sulu Wrap, and a brown/beige Class A uniform (the uniform worn by the Ensign that greets Kirk and Scotty when they arrive on the Enterprise). Both Class A unis have the shoes attached or sewn into the pant. When you hang up the pant, your hanging up the shoe as well. Just a top the shoe there is a small horizontal fabric covered elastic strap that detaches by hook on one side. This allows for easy foot entry and exit. Both unis use the same fabric for both the tunic and the pant...no stretch Gabardine.

The Sulu wrap is different, the shoes are detachable from the pant. Once together you have to look twice to tell they are not exactly like the Class A. The shoe has fabric that tucks nicely up inside the pant with the same fabric coverd elastic front strap. There is also a hook attachment on the back of the shoe. The bottom of the pant also has a fabric covered elastic band that gives the wearer a nice snug fit all around where the pant and shoe come together.

2) If I understand exactly what your asking here? The uniforms do have an elastic suspender built into the pant.

3) Our friend Majormason is correct about the Bio belt. It is fabric covered elastic that attaches by hooks on both sides, approximatley 3 inches or so past where the belt slips into the tunic. I have picture of this. I will post if I can find them. There are a couple different ways the Bio monitor is attached on these costumes. Can't recall exactly what the differences are at the moment but can check up on that. My memory these days...

I hope this helps. If not feel free to post another question or contact me directly at Aceman1701a@aol.com. 

 I also have to say that the Class A Silver/Grey uniforms are just awesome in person. For example, my Sonak appears to be made out of a very high quality Wool Satin Gabardine (as I'm sure all Bridge Class A unis were) and it has a very sleek and elegant appearence to it. Friends and invited vistors that come over and see the Sonak in person are shocked at how elegant a uniform it is and how it's a shame it comes off rather bland on film. If done right, no fan can go wrong by wanting to recreate this uniform for their Trek uniform collection. I understand Stepahine Mann (Murrymousie) has made a very respectable Class A uniform. Would be great to see more Trek uniform enthusiast try it.

I will try and follow up this email with some nice detailed photos of the uniform. More so than what you see on my Photobucket account.
