It was kinda a precursor to the DS9 uniforms.

Hmm... okay, you can now get CDs burned (or is it pressed?) with any given songs you want on 'em, instead of having to buy the entire CD. Think we'll ever see the day we can get DVDs with certain episodes and not others? i.e. the four or five good S7 eps?

Probably, but not for a little while. I imagine we'll eventually see the same sort of thing that some music companies are now doing; online databases of films/TV shows which can be downloaded for a fee and then burned onto a disc. Of course, that leads to all sorts of problems with people putting up pirate copies that can be downloaded for free, but I'm sure TPTB will find a way around that.

Ask your local illegal software dealer (aka the Internet).

He was still wearing it in season 7. Off the top of my head, I remember him wearing it in "Attached" (because he takes the jacket part off at one point). I suspect he wore it in "Parallels", but I'm not sure. And there's almost certainly more.
I also agree that it appeared to be a more casual uniform, except that in Attached, he was wearing it to go to a formal UFP membership meeting.
Possibly it was just a perk all Captain's got. Like the waistcoat for the FC uniforms that seemed to also be Captain-only.

Being trapped in an turbolift is similar to being trapped on a planet, I suppose.

Er, how? The DS9 uniforms were jumpsuits, whereas this was a shirt + jacket. Unless you mean the FC uniforms, but even then the only similarity is that it had bumpy shoulders.

They just (the FC versions, I think of as more DS9) just split at the collar in a way that invokes the jacket uniform. To me anyway.

You are rubbish. Did Picard ever do up that jacket? And why did he wear it on planets. Doesn't he know that rain ruins suede?

Well, they both involved a non-departmental blue-grey-ish color as well...

That's where the joys of Replicators come in: just recycle the old one and tell the computer to make you a new one! I'd never wear the same clothes twice!

That jacket could be done up - however I only remember it being done up once, when he goes to meet the dying Sarek in "Unification Part I". Other than that, I take it to be no different than the hip green uniforms that Kirk wore on and off in alternation with the more standard uniform, since the first TOS season. Or, for that matter, the bomber jackets that he and Scotty wore in a couple of the movies, or any of the endless variations seen in TMP.
