Charlton Heston "George Taylor" ANSA Flight Suit from Planet of the Apes (Fox, 1968).

Vintage original (2) piece bespoke ANSA astronaut's flight suit, including (1) astronaut tunic constructed of luminescent ivory canvas with short standing metal-buckle collar, vertical zippered upper left chest slash pocket, long sleeves zippered from elbow to cuff, self-fabric and brass snap belt at cropped waist hem, decorative gray stitching at seams, with diagonal zipper front closure. Retaining the "Taylor" leather name tag affixed to upper right chest above embroidered "ANSA" patch, American flag fabric patch on left shoulder, and interior lined in crème satin. Retaining the Western Costume internal bias label typed, "Charlton Heston," with size specs and production number "2772-1," and (1) pair of matching pants with zippered hip pockets, flap cargo pockets at knees with brass snap closures, zippered pant cuffs with elastic stirrups, zipper and hook and eye front closure. Retaining the Western Costume internal bias label typed, "Charlton Heston," with size specs and production number "2772-2." Highly visible worn from the beginning of the film when "Taylor" (Heston) and crew crash land on a mysterious planet. The sequential numbers; "2772-1" and "2772-2" on the internal bias labels, mark this costume as a complete original set. This is the cleanest version of the very few examples of this costume we have encountered, as opposed to other examples that were used for water sequences, action scenes, and other distressed scenarios. This remarkable costume exhibits age, production wear, and some soiling with fading on the gilt embossed "Taylor" leather nametag. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions.
