Chakotay costume cards

Some Star Trek: Voyager costume cards have arrived in the mail! They are all pieces of the Maquis uniform Robert Beltran / Chakotay wore in the pilot episode "Caretaker".
Being able to touch the costume he wore is almost as good as touching the man himself, no? ;)
The first is like leather, the others a very scratchy woven material. Hopefully it was not itchy to him!

I didn't even know you could get something like that!

I didn't know either until a year ago or so! Through being a fan of Sean Pertwee, I became friends with a woman who runs a forum where everyone can show off their Gotham Costume cards. You can even get a file folder for collecting all of them, and some are very rare and expensive, like other collecting cards.

One of the Gotham cards was of the white undershirt of Ben Gordon, and if you are lucky you got the piece with some fake blood on it ;)

I got some of Sean / Alfred, but I just checked and it does not look like I have posted them here before. So I might show these as well.

They are available for several TV series, if you are a fan of something, have a look! On one hand I find it a pity to hack up these wonderful costumes into pieces, but on the other hand I like being able to touch them.

Now this is very interesting! And yes, the costume is nice and very close to home spun materials.
Thank you for the samples and information!

I love touching them and feeling them! If you are a fan of anything, have a look, there are many! Some are not too expensive, it depends.
