Photos of The Cage Dress Tunic Anywhere?

I've always liked that dress tunic the unidentified Starfleet officer in the Orion slave girl scene wears and have been frustrated both that the whole uniform is never shown and that the costume never appears in another episode. Anyone know if there are behind the scenes photos of that uniform?
 
You could try looking through startrekhistory.com and in Trekcore.com's rare photos archives. Might be something floating around.
 
Not a photo, but the Federation Reference Series combined the costume with Pike's hat to make a complete "Cage"-era dress uniform.

That guy is in the running for Star Trek's biggest little sleezeball. How appropriate that he wears a dickie, like early Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory.

I just thought of this: TBBT should do a parody of that scene, with Howard as the sleeze, Leonard as Pike, Raj as the fat man, and Penny dancing. That would be great.

:techman:

And have Sheldon as the "Keeper" Talosian that waves his right arm and creates said illusion.

Thanks, folks -- this actually helps out a lot. I didn't realize before that so much can be seen from the screen grab.
 
I never noticed that he was wearing a Starfleet uniform and I've seen The Cage several times.

I don't like it.

It looks like something put together kinda quickly.

I can understand why it was never reused.
 
How so? It's basically the wraparound tunic with epaulletes. If you look at the construction, it's clearly tailored, and the shoulders in particular look like it was stitched together like a suit coat rather than a stretchy pullover fabric.
 
It might look better in a different color. Perhaps something Robert April use to wear (as oppose to a cardigan).

A green Penny, dancing... ok, I know what I'll be dreaming about tonight.
