Mars Attacks!, General Decker (Rod Steiger) costume

original movie costume

This costume was worn by the president's aggressive chief of staff, General Decker (Rod Steiger), with this style of uniform worn throughout the film. The uniform is comprised of a rifle green wool uniform jacket with various insignia, decorations and a "Decker" nametag, a pair of rifle green wool trousers with two black strips running down either leg, a light green Flying Cross long-sleeved shirt, a black tie and a green wool officer's cap with general staff insignia. The shirt and tie have Motion Picture Costume Company labels while the shirt is labelled "Decker." The set is accompanied by a pair of wardrobe tags for the hat indicating its use by Rod Steiger.

Well-used on the production with only minor wear, the costume remains in overall very good condition. The hat is marked as a size 7 1/2", with no other sizes marked.
