1. Kirk is not a patient man. Spock getting himself out of his uniform might be a short term solution, but in the end, he puts a lot of effort into making Starfleet change the goddamn fastenings on the tunics to make them easier to use. They do.
2. Kirk totally still has their too-small blue and gold uniforms from the early days in his closet anyway. He can't get into his any more, but sometimes he'll make Spock put on his, for old times' sake.
3. After Spock dies at the end of Wrath of Khan, Kirk sleeps with the blue Science tunic, even after it doesn't smell like Spock any more.
