Analysis, part 4 - Shoulder Points

As mentioned previously, the yoke extended onto the shoulder points in the same manner as other DS9/NEM-era Starfleet uniforms, and the shoulder points were quilted in the same manner as the yokes.

As you can see, the formal jackets' shoulder points were wool elastique, just like the yokes:

The shoulder point was intentionally asymmetrical in shape; it "leaned" forward slightly, as the back of the shoulder point was one quilt line wider than the front, or ¾".




The quilt line that intersected the bottom corner of the shoulder point (hereafter called the "center quilt line," although that is technically an imprecise term ...) aligned perfectly with the shoulder seam to create a continuous line from the neck to the bottom of the shoulder seam, just like it did on the duty uniforms.
