Captain James T. Kirk's (William Shatner) costume from Leonard Nimoy's sci-fi sequel Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Kirk wore his signature costume throughout the film, from his meeting with Admiral Morrow (Robert Hooks) and his renegade crew's hijacking of the Enterprise, through to the finale, as Kirk battled Commander Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) on the Genesis planet.

Kirk ultimately covers his son's body with his leather jacket in what many fans consider to be one of the most moving moments in the series. In his book Star Trek Movie Memories: The Inside Story of the Classic Movies, author Chris Kreski states that he believes the scene in which Kirk learns of his son's passing to be "Kirk's finest celluloid moment ever".

The outfit consists of a dark burgundy imitation leather overcoat, with three pockets and zip closure; a red jacket and pair of trousers, both of which are trimmed with black leather; a pink shirt with a patterned front; and a black leather belt with a metal buckle. The jacket, trousers and shirt include Western Costume labels with the typed name "William Shatner". The costume comes on a custom-built display stand which features the title of the film.

This costume was originally purchased at the Christie's "40 Years of Star Trek" auction, held in New York City in October 2006, and the lot retains all of its original auction tags. There are small holes to the upper and lower sleeves on the burgundy jacket, and on the lower leg section of the trousers, from production use and storage. Dimensions (displayed): 38 cm x 70 cm x 180 cm (15" x 27 1/2" x 71")
