STAR WARS: ORIGINAL TRILOGY VHS RELEASE (1995) - Touring Darth Vader Gloves and Codpiece - A set of touring Darth Vader gloves and a codpiece from the promotion of the VHS rerelease of the original Star Wars trilogy.

This lot consists of a pair of black leather gloves with quilted leatherette wrist gauntlets and a padded leatherette codpiece featuring a black felted back, nylon straps with plastic buckles, a white copyright tag printed with "1995 LFL DNA Productions" and handwritten numbers, and a piece of blue tape hand-marked "Vader Belt 111-0394." The gloves and codpiece exhibit flaking to the leatherette finish, revealing the material underneath.
