Larry Marvick’s (David Frankham) Jumpsuit - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 1969) - IS THERE


Larry Marvick’s (David Frankham) jumpsuit from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. This gray polyester jumpsuit is trimmed with wraparound maroon and black tapering panels and features a hidden Velcro placket and dramatic notches on the cuffs and hem. This costume comes from series costume designer William Ware Theiss’ personal collection and immediately following production was stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. The jumpsuit is in excellent production-used, vintage condition overall indicative of its provenance.

In the episode ‘Is There No Truth in Beauty?’ (307), Larry Marvick, one of the lead designers of the USS Enterprise, visits the ship along with Dr. Miranda Jones (Diana Muldaur) to implement new technology. Due to production budget constraints, ‘doubles’ (duplicates) of episode-specific costumes were seldom constructed for the series, and most likely this is the only such jumpsuit utilized by Marvick in the episode.

An 8x10" print of this image is included with the accompanying lot.
