If an Anovos replica is a little out of your price range, you can make your own TOS Star Trek costumes out of a turtleneck with almost no sewing for under $10.

Pick up a turtleneck for a couple of dollars at a 2nd hand shop. It’s not only cost-effective, it also makes your Star Trek costumes more eco-friendly. If you don’t want to make the patches for your Star Trek costumes, you can buy premade iron-on badges, but I found it quite a bit cheaper to just make your own. (If you embroider the badges for your Star Trek costumes as I did, they will twist, but once you glue them onto the shirt, they straighten right out).

One caution, if you glue on your badges instead of sewing them on, don’t throw them in the dryer. Otherwise the heat will melt the hot glue and you’ll have a mess. Instead, leave your them to hang dry after washing.
