William Shatner "Captain Kirk" Starfleet Tunic and Pants from Episode, "The Deadly Years" of Star Trek: The Original Series (Paramount TV, 1966-1969). Vintage original Starship Captain's golden honey-colored velour tunic with cross-weave black polyester collar, long sleeves with appliqued gold lamé rank braids around cuffs, insignia Command patch affixed to left chest and unique collar-to-waist, left side hidden zipper closure with hook and eye collar fasten. This tunic is attributed to the Season 2 episode "The Deadly Years" when Kirk and crew are exposed to radiation causing them to age rapidly. In addition to wearing considerable makeup to simulate considerable aging, the actors were fitted with slightly oversized tunics to provide the illusion of weight loss and frailty. This tunic is featured on pages 16 and 24 of the book Star Trek Costumes by Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann by Insight Editions (2015). Also includes a pair of black Dacron with silver sparkle fabric pants featuring 2- front waist pockets and zipper and hook and eye front closure, heavily reinforced black polyester lining, for safety of the actor during fight and action sequences. Handwritten on the interior back waistband, "WS Shatner (stunt)". Exhibiting expected age, production wear, some rubbing to gold laminate on tunic braids, minor soiling and discoloration to arms. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Collection of Greg Jein.
