These costumes were designed by Jean-Pierre Dorleac.

Silver-color synthetic material is sewn to each shirt collar. Also included is a black and white promotional print featuring two photos from the series with a caption and 20th Century Fox copyright information. The lot exhibits wear from use and age, including staining, cracks in the adhered graphics, and rips and worn finish in some of the reflective patches.
