    Sew? Who sews when they have replicators?

    Do you think Garak was really able to stay in business being a plain, simple tailor? And that was 800 years earlier.

      Technology? Who uses technology in the military?

      Archaic, painstaking methods of uniform maintainence build discipline. Why would this change even in a thousand years?

        I am pretty sure there is at least one point where we see a replicator make a uniform. I have a memory of it.

          Weirdly, we see it happen in the 23rd century before replicators were invented, so it was a “synthesizer”, not a replicator.
