Available only for the vertically under-priviledged, it seems. :cry:

If this thing showed up at some off-price retailer, a shopper could mistake the angled seam across the chest as a manufacturing hiccup.

It isn’t a Picard sweater unless it rides up on a regular basis.

Agreed, I assume you buy it short and the constant tugging on the bottom will make it an extra long in no time.

Very cool, but I’m afraid we don’t use money in the future, especially at those prices.

It’s been command red since the start of TNG, to try and stop the redshirt trope.
