- Lot Description
A Starfleet duty tunic from the original Star Trek series (Desilu Productions, 1966-1969). This red colored shirt is consistent with the style of tunic worn by Engineering, Operations, and Security division personnel. The tunic is made from red velour fabric with a black collar and hs an original Engineering division Starfleet insignia patch sewn on the left chest area. A zipper runs from the collar down to the left side of the costume. No labels are present apart from "No 3" written in white ink inside the zipper.
Though it cannot be certain, elements of this particular duty tunic suggest that it was likely worn by Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan) in Star Trek, who held the rank of lieutenant commander in the original series. Though the golden rank braids are no longer present on the end of each sleeve, there are signs that a single row and dash pattern of lieutenant commander braids were previously sewn into the garment. The braids were often removed prior to dry cleaning, which could explain their absence from the wardrobe piece today.
Scotty was the only prominent character with the rank of ieutenant commander in the series that wore the red duty tunics, though a character can be seen wearing the same style tunic with the same rank in the background of a scene in the episode "Court Martial." There is also a scene in the episode "Who Mourns For Adonais?" in which Scotty is attacked with lightning, and in that sequence he is played by a stunt man. But given the budget of the show, those particular tunics may have been worn by both the background character and the stunt man as well as Doohan, but it is almost impossible to determine.
Many red tunics were made for the show to be worn by the numerous characters representing security, engineering, as well as stunt men who doubled for Doohan. The production would likely move principal actor worn wardrobe pieces out of circulation for the principal and down to background characters and for stunt work since condition and appearance was not as important for those uses as it was for the principal actors. Therefore, it cannot truly be certain how this particular tunic was employed throughout the series. Because of the type of fabric used, it is believed that this tunic was made for the first or second season. There is a tear at the back of the costume, and it exhibits some overall wear.
