The MFI Klingon
Uniform Standards:
Last updated: 05 November 2005
The
basis of the KTF uniform is the basic uniforms as seen In the multiple Star Trek
series and Movies. These uniforms are composed of a top (hereafter called a
“tunic‿), pants, shoes, ridges, sash, armor, gloves, bracers, and the
appropriate insignias that indicate rank, academy
honors (courses completed), post held, affiliations. Uniform Tunics may be
purchased or hand manufactured, as falls to the discretion of the owner. It must
be stressed that owning/wearing a standard uniform is NOT a
membership requirement of MFI, nor the KTF… but it is encouraged for the sense
of unity and identity that it brings. Besides…It looks extremely cool and
intimidating at conventions!
**NOTE**
Traditional
Klingon Insignia and Badges (i.e. Arm badges, cloak pins, Homeworld service
pins…etc.) may be worn in their correct and appropriate locations.
Command
Cloaks are ONLY supposed to be worn by ship’s Commanding
Officers, or those at or above the rank of Captain / Colonel.
