DALLAS, Texas (Feb. 22, 2022) — It wasn’t the Federation-Klingon War, but it was close enough: A fierce tussle over Captain Kirk’s command tunic and black pants,worn during the first season of Star Trek, drove the final price of that historic outfit to $125,000 at Heritage Auctions on Tuesday.

The auction house’s 75-lot Star Trek Hollywood & Entertainment Signature® Auctionrealized $723,138, led by some of the most recognizable outfits worn during The Original Series. Among the auction’s top lots were two outfits from the beloved “Mirror, Mirror” episode: Kirk’s shiny gold vest made of lurex and adorned with the Terran Empire’s requisite sash and medallions, which sold for $50,000; and the bearded Spock’s slate-blue sateen wool tunic, which fetched $55,000. Both outfits had been displayed in 1998 at the California State Fair.
