Our expert's notes

A black Rebel trooper vest from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. The Rebel Alliance troopers wore their vests in various scenes throughout the film, on board the Tantive IV protecting Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and in the Rebel base on Yavin IV, both before the final battle and for the ceremonial finale.

Designed by John Mollo and made by A.E. Bickel & Co. – a subcontractor of Bermans and Nathans who provided a wide range of costumes and accessories for the production – the vest is made of black Teredo poly-cotton material and features an array of pockets and pouches on the front and back. Mollo added vests to the costume design to create additional texture and interest to the look of the Rebel troopers. In line with Lucas' vision of the Star Wars universe, the vest has no fastenings along the front, with Velcro and tab closures used for the pockets.

The rebel trooper vests have not been seen or documented since the production of the film in 1976. The garment exhibits minor wear to the label.

Estimate: £4000 - £6000
