The collar on this uniform from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan employs the trapunto method.[1]

Trapunto quilting (Italian for "to embroider"), also called stuffed technique, is a quilting technique that is quite decorative in that it utilizes at least two layers, which is padded from the underside. This produces a raised surface on the quilt. This style originated in Italy in either the fourteenth century [2] or the sixteenth century. [3]
