I got email from Anovos support about jackets arriving from maker and then going out, starting in April. Given my discovery phaser and uniform STILL haven’t shipped despite them allegedly going out already, I’m pessimistic, but will see what happens.

It was supposed to be finally delivered this month to people that ordered it (which I had), as of most recent quarterly report. No signs of it shipping, and not even message saying further delays. Sigh.

I think there is a thread in dealer encounters for Anovos. You aren’t alone on pre order issues- I still haven’t gotten my Star Trek discovery phaser, BSG jacket (though they did finally send revised timeline for shipping), or discovery uniform. Stuff that’s in stock seems to ship within a month...

I’d also add in that black dyes can be based from brown or from blue. They appear black, but with time and wear will fade to very dark version of the color base, lightening further with time. So if the belts were dyed with a blue based black dye, the fading would turn them to dark navy blue and...

Latest update on their blog page says jacket is supposed to come out in 3rd quarter of this year. I’m not holding my breath on it. I ordered a Disco Phaser and blog says they are slowly sending them out now. I’ll message to see if they respond about where I’m at in the queue. Again not...

I watched it on Blu Ray. Believe it or not, the jackets are actually a Pique fabric (woven with a miniature waffle effect). That sort of fabric was used for Victorian formal white vests.

I just noticed that Disney has remastered The Black Hole to Blu Ray and it’s out as an anniversary edition. I ordered new copy on eBay for $35. Blu ray has very good zoom features, so it might be worth getting the Blu Ray and the do some zooming and possible screen shots - at minimum it will...

I was astonished when 5 years ago, Joseph Kerzeman was able to set up an order of the actual season 3 double knit fabrics from the company that originally made them. Apparently they still had the dye recipes and access to materials to make that exact weave again. The order had to be 700 yards of...

Just got email update from Anovos today. They say they had to change Overseas manufacturers again, due to quality issues, and new projected ship quarter is Q3 (July- Sept) of this year. They also say this will be the only run they do with the classic BSG jacket. For Star Trek products- they...

I emailed at end of August requesting update on Star Trek discovery phaser and BSG jacket. No one responded. I had emailed in July as well. Makes me wonder what’s going on, that they won’t even respond now.

They did well a few years ago- I was very pleased with the JJ Abrams pants/tunic/undershirt combo from them, as well as BSG reimagined products. But I have classic BSG jacket, Discovery uniform, and discovery phaser on order- phaser was supposed to be delivered by end of July. And there’s been...

Lol well I’m just passing on what they said. As long as I eventually get the product ordered, I’m content/ this wasn’t an urgent needed item or on any sort of deadline for me. I can’t even find a pattern for the tunic and pants (pics posted on here with pattern were from 2015 and no longer...

I just got an update from Anovos via email that I’m allowed to share (they will post to website soon). New ship date range is Oct-Dec 2019 for the classic BSG Jackets.

Forgot to mention- usually Anovos does wind up with some extras when they finally finish run, but stock is limited, so it’s best to watch for when they go on sale and move quickly. Then again, Discovery had mixed appeal so competition might not be as bad. I know they still haven’t purged stock...

I ordered an Anovos uniform, as well as phaser. They won’t reveal what exactly, but when I asked about tricorder or communicator, the rep smiled and said they would be doing a few more props but couldn’t discuss it further. I’m going to take a shot at recreating the boots. Sully Wong made...
