TOS s2e18 “The Immunity Syndrome”
I just want a material that allows for maximum mobility and feels like I’m wearing nothing at all
Nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
Nothing at all!
Stupid sexy Spock!!
Wool is the superior fiber. ducks
No, ducks give down, not wool.
Fun fact: The polyester uniforms in TNG got really smelly:

That’s because polyester gets smelly in general. Natural fibres are much better for that.
My vote is for silk. It’s a little breathable and also more fire resistant than synthetics. Plus, The Sisko would look great in silk.
Why bother … in the 24th century … they could control the ship’s climate to be absolutely comfortable at the right temperature and humidity all the time everywhere. Then you could just forego any clothing and allow everyone to just be naked. They only time anyone ever needs clothing is when they leave the ship. Otherwise, while inside the ship, just let everything breathe.
That is putting a lot of faith in a computer system that can’t tell the difference between crew members and unauthorized visitors, and regularly gives access to critical functions to anyone who asks.
Honestly no joke, I do hope the future is one where we eschew all this needless religiously-borne body shame. We are the only animal on the planet that feels the need to be ashamed of our genitalia. That’s weird. And I think it’s weird as hell that for the vast majority of us, we have no idea what like 20% of the bodies of our very closest friends and relatives look like. That’s crazy to me - I don’t know what 20% of my very best friend actually looks like.
So yeah, I desperately hope humanity in the future has figured out how get past this unnecessary shame.
