The Terminator's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) complete costume from James Cameron's sci-fi action sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The Terminator wore his costume throughout the film, from the opening scenes in which he stole the ensemble from a disgruntled biker, through the action-packed fight sequences in which he battled the seemingly invincible T-1000 (Robert Patrick), to his final farewell to John (Edward Furlong) and Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), giving one final thumbs-up as he sank into molten steel.
Created by costume designer Marlene Stewart, who worked on such films as JFK, True Lies, The X Files and Tropic Thunder, the Terminator's costume became an iconic piece of pop culture, Stewart's designs bringing the Terminator into the '90s with their grunge style.
The costume comprises a black leather motorcycle jacket with a self-belt bottom (marked "S41" in white ink inside one of the pockets); a pair of black custom-made faux-leather trousers (Size 36); a leather belt with a metal buckle; a grey T-shirt; and a pair of black Harley Davidson motorcycle boots with buckles across the top of the feet.
The jacket displays heavy distressing, including dirt marks, numerous bullet holes throughout, and tears to the back. Both boots have holes in their soles from previous display. In addition, the costume shows some wear from production use and aging. The faux-leather trousers show increasing delamination, a common symptom of aging with this particular fabric. The set is displayed on a custom mannequin display. Dimensions (displayed): 37 cm x 60 cm x 178 cm (14" x 24" x 70")
