Kirk's Tunics

I was hoping someone could shed some light on Kirk's various costumes in TOS.

A few questions I have:
1) Why 2?
2) What's each one for?
3) When did he start wearing the green one?

Also, while I'm at it, did he wear a hairpiece during the Original Series? What about a belly hider?

Not sure on the tunics, but I have heard he wore a "belly hider" or some sort of a man-girdle in the Original Series. Not sure how true that is, but I don't know how much sense that makes. I mean it couldn't have been *too* necessary, as he clearly has his shirt off every other episode. And trust, you quickly learn to be able to hide it/suck it in.

I think the belly hider was for the movies more than the series.

Now the erection hider for all the blonde alien females was a different story

I was under the impression that the green tunic was for casual occasions. Like Picards later shirt and jacket.
