Chimp Army Uniform - PLANET OF THE APES FILMS AND TELEVISION SERIES (1968 - 1974)


A green Chimp Army uniform from the sci-fi films and short-lived television series Planet of the Apes. The army uniform consists of an olive-green jacket, brown tunic, olive trousers and olive boots. The jacket has a chocolate brown leatherette yoke with radiating seams out from neck and olive-green leatherette details on the three-quarter length sleeves. The brown canvas, zip-front tunic features thick tweed fringed cuffs and additional hand knotted long brown fringe at forearms. The trousers have integrated seamed creases and tapered legs that end with a slight flare. Western Costume Company labels are present inside the three garments. The boots are olive green canvas with rubber soles built on a Sears plimsoll base. The footprint of the shoes appears to be based on the shape of a large human hand, with four close set digits and a lower thumb-like nub to simulate chimp-like toes. Shoe size (7M) is handwritten on insole in marker. The uniform remains in fine, production-used, vintage condition overall.

Two astronauts land on Earth 1,100 years in the future and find it overrun by sentient apes. Soldiers in the chimp army wear dark green uniforms throughout the series.
