PLANET OF THE APES ORIGINAL CHIMP ARMY COSTUME |
Updated: April 29, 2026
A Chimp Army costume from Franklin J. Schaffner's sci-fi film Planet of the Apes. Soldiers in the Chimp Army wore green uniforms throughout the film and Season 1 of its spin off television series.
This costume consists of an olive woolen jacket with a chocolate brown leatherette yoke, silver color leatherette pads on the three quarter length sleeves, and a zipper closure on the reverse; matching tapered and flared pants with integrated seamed creases; matching canvas boots hand marked size "7M" with rubber soles built on a Sears plimsoll base and shaped to resemble a chimp's foot; and a brown canvas zip front tunic with fringed tweed cuffs. The jacket, tunic, and pants feature Western Costume Company tags labeled "2771-1," "2771-3," and Chest size "39." The shoes exhibit fraying on the toes from wear, and the leatherette is cracked throughout from production.
Value: $10,000.
