    It just makes sense. That has to be 20-25% less material to replicate per uniform. There’s coffee in those pants.

      By that logic they should recycle all clothing and install a nudist workplace policy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) im sure the lack of insulation will compensate by everyone running 5 degrees hotter

        Paris, Kim, Tuvok, Chakotay, The Doctor… Honestly I’m okay with the nudist policy. Please install.

    Does this mean you also enjoyed Orange River’s Junkball Media’s skant video?

    Every time I see the skant, two things come to mind:

    • Lotta leg-shaving going on. That or leggings. I’m not opposed to either as an aesthetic choice, but it kind adds a layer to the impracticality.
    • I think the absence of a belt is what keeps these from reading like a kilt or tunic. Either of which would be a fantastic nod to traditional affectation for earthling personnel (as other races do). Instead, the skant sits in this men’s apparel uncanny-valley of sorts, where it’s neither a dress, dress uniform, gown, or nightshirt.

    Due to my own fantasy subroutines exposure to an alien disease of an, ahem, intimate nature, I prescribe short skirts or dresses at all times, for all crew members.
