Our expert's notes

A Rebel trooper vest from George Lucas' Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope. Rebel Alliance troopers wore their vests in various scenes throughout the film; on board the Tantive IV corvette while protecting Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and in the Rebel base on Yavin IV, both before the final battle and for the medal ceremony finale.
Designed by John Mollo and made by A.E. Bickel and Co. - a subcontractor of Bermans and Nathans which provided a wide range of costumes and accessories for the production - the vest is made of black Teredo polycotton 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 vest exhibits some wear and fading to the internal label, but remains in excellent condition for its age.
