Sorry, No COA, the roll was used by 1st owner to provide swatches, then few larger pièces : I bought the last one in the early 2000s.
Use of the Polyester Fabric began in the Third Season. The velour that had been used up to that time, was shrinking every time it was cleaned. So, a more durable Fabric that matched the established colors was found. These pieces were part of that what was left over when the show ceased production in 1969.
This is the original vintage fabric, in perfect condition.
From Paramount stock to make the Command Uniforms : Kirk, Sulu, Chekov, etc.
