STAR TREK I: THE MOTION PICTURE “JAMES DOOHAN” ‘CLASS-B' SHIRT

STAR TREK I: THE MOTION PICTURE “JAMES DOOHAN” ‘CLASS-B' SHIRT Perhaps the most beloved of all Starfleet engineers is Star Trek’s “Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott” portrayed by the amazing James Doohan. Doohan’s bright personality and well rounded acting ability allowed him not only to portray the favored ‘miracle worker’ of the “U.S.S. Enterprise” in Star Trek: The Original Series but also to play the voices of so many aliens and strange beings in Star Trek: The Animated Series. This uniform shirt from Star Trek I: The Motion Picture is enigmatic due to its make up. A tan colored ‘Class-B’ uniform shirt with sewn on Starfleet insignia patch with silver backing depicting the wearer to be part of the 'security division’, shoulder epaulettes indicating the rank of lieutenant, and a belt mounted ‘bio-monitor’ affixed to the uniform. The Western Costume Co. tag is inscribed ‘James Doohan’. While we know “Mr. Scott” to have commanded the “Enterprise” on several occasions, he was always placed in that position due to his rank, lieutenant commander until he was promoted to captain. New information brought to light by controversy surrounding this item lends to the likelihood that it appeared in Star Trek I: The Motion Picture on one of James Doohan’s sons as they portrayed Starfleet personnel in background roles. However, the item features a sewn in ‘Western Costume Co.’ tag reading ‘James Doohan’.
