Our expert's notes

A purple Gorilla Army uniform from the sci-fi films and short-lived television series Planet of the Apes. The army uniform consists of leatherette vest, canvas tunic, canvas trousers, gauntlets, bandolier and leather boots. The long, zip-front vest has a piped horizontal line motif on front and back. The long-sleeve tunic is made of purple canvas and finished with a band collar. Matching trousers have a belted waist and a black shoestring knot at inner right cuff. The dark brown leather riding-style boots have been modified to have cleft toes. The gauntlets are black leather with dark purple leatherette cuffs. The bandolier is brown canvas with two ammunition pockets and is trimmed in brown leather and lobster claw clasp at hip.

The costume remains in fine, production-used, vintage condition overall, but does exhibit some signs of the use, including small punctures and paint loss on the gloves and some adhesive residue on the tunic.

Two astronauts land on Earth 1,100 years in the future and find it overrun by sentient apes. Soldiers in the gorilla army wear purple uniforms throughout season one of the series.
