Leading from
Propstore: A uniform worn in the production of James Cameron’s seminal sci-fi action movie Aliens. Cast adrift for almost sixty years after the events of Alien, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) reluctantly joins a platoon of hardened Colonial Marines in the hopes of saving the residents of a colony infested with grotesque humanoid aliens.
This uniform shirt and trousers, and others like them, were worn by members of the Hadley’s Hope colony working for Weyland Yutani on LV-426. Made of synthetic fibres, the shirt (marked size 38“ chest) features pockets on the chest and on the left arm, while the trousers (marked size 24” waist) has pockets on the rear, sides and thighs.
Lightly used on the production with only minor wear, the pieces have C&G Costumiers labels internally and the shirt still retains its original Bonhams auction tag from sale in the famous 1987 Riverside Studios auction. The costume remains in very good condition. ( Source: http://www.propstore.com/product/aliens/civilian-grey-shirt-trousers/ (2016))
