Star Trek: The Next Generation, Cadet Uniform Costume

original movie costume

Here is one of my TNG screen-used uniforms being worn by a 15 year old actor named JD Charisma (yes, that is his name - look it up on IMDB.com). This picture was taken at the San Jose Tech Museum while we were filming (all night) on the Star Trek sets for a museum promo video. This costume has no tag but screen matches to one of two shown in 'The First Duty' - the measurements of the costume are a match for Wil Wheaton for that time period and he is one of the actors who wore this type of costume. Can't be sure, though, who wore it.

This style of costume was featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes like “The First Duty” and possible use in the later Voyager episode “Flesh and Blood”. This costume is a Starfleet cadet uniform consisting of a long-sleeved, full-length, black jumpsuit featuring red shoulders, black piping around the Mandarin collar, a Velcro patch for a commbadge (sold separately), a matching black belt, deep, open-topped pockets on each trouser leg, a zip down the back, and stirrups for the feet. The sewn in tag has been torn out but a costumer’s tag confirms use in TNG and that it is a cadet uniform.
