These very own Captain Kirk Uniform Tunic and Pants are from Star Trek.
James Tiberius Kirk is a fictional character from the Star Trek film and television series. Kirk initially appeared in Star Trek. The Original Series was captain of the starship USS Enterprise and was played by Canadian actor William Shatner.
Kirk and his crew discover new worlds, new civilizations, and “boldly go where no man has gone before” as they “boldly go where no man has gone before.”
Spock and Leonard McCoy frequently serve as his logical and emotional sounding boards. Kirk has also appeared in several movies, comic books, webisodes, and video games.
Uniforms worn by actors portraying personnel from the fictional Starfleet organization in the Star Trek science fiction genre are Star Trek uniforms.
Costumes frequently changed between television shows and films, especially those set in different eras, for aesthetic and practical reasons. Occasionally, deliberate mixing of uniform styles from several series was employed to heighten the sense of time travel or alternate realms.
Why is this item so rare?
There was confusion around how captain kirk changes his uniform in the entire season.
The first season of TOS uniforms got made of a lime green satin velour; lighting gels and cameras diluted the color.
And made it appear less greenish on film, but it was nearly the same color as the wrap-around tunic, made of a lighter material.
The issue was that the velour was hot, and after a few occurrences, it started to smell, so they cleaned it, and it shrank, necessitating the purchase of new shirts.
How much is it worth today?
The final price of Captain Kirk’s command tunic and black leggings, worn during the first season of Star Trek, was $125,000 at Heritage Auctions after a heated bidding war.
