The Rebel Alliance wore vests in scenes throughout the film, including aboard the Tantive IV corvette while protecting Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and on Yavin IV, both before the final battle and for the medal ceremony. Designed by John Mollo and manufactured by A.E. Bickel and Co.-a subcontractor of Bermans & Nathans that provided costumes and accessories for the production-this pocketed, pouched black vest is constructed of a Teredo poly-cotton blend. In line with Lucas' vision of the Star Wars universe, this vest has no fastenings along the front, and some pockets have tab closures while others have Velcro closures. Marked size M, the vest is in good overall condition, with some fraying along the seams and fading to the internal label. Estimate: $4,000 - 6,000
