Captain Picard's Starfleet Duty Tunic

A close‑fitting, division‑dark Starfleet duty tunic cut from a smooth composite weave, with a fitted collar and the polished delta insignia over the left chest. The garment sits tailored on Picard in the Ready Room, its sober lines signaling official capacity and continuity of command. Crew members register his return to standard uniform as a cue to treat the conversation as formal business even as Picard negotiates a private, delicate containment strategy.
