DOUBLE BREASTED MOVIE COSTUME WESTERN COSTUME COMPANY

Description

VINTAGE DOUBLE BREASTED MILITARY OFFICER'S MOVIE COSTUME FROM THE FAMOUS WESTERN COSTUME COMPANY IN HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA. WESTERN COSTUME HAS BEEN MAKING MOVIE COSTUMES FOR THE FILM INDUSTRY FOR OVER 100 YEARS.  THIS COSTUME IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH TWO OF THE ORIGINAL 6 GOLD MILITARY BUTTONS LEFT THE OTHERS WERE REMOVED BY WESTERN COSTUME. I LOOKED THE BUTTONS UP ON THE INTERNET AND THEY ARE THE BUTTONS USED ON A U.S. NAVAL UNIFORM DURING WWll DURING THE 1940'S. THE COSTUME IS VERY WELL MADE AND SIZE 40 REGULAR HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE INNER SLEEVE BY WESTERN COSTUME COMPANY. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THERE WERE SEVERAL GOLD BANDS SEWN ONTO THE SLEEVES AT ONE TIME THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED. PROBABLY FOR AN ADMIRAL OR GENERAL YOU CAN STILL SEE THE GOLD THREAD THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND WHEN THEY WERE REMOVED.  THIS COSTUME HAS STAMPS AND LABEL FROM WESTERN COSTUME AND THERE IS A NAME WRITTEN ON A LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE BREAST POCKET. THESE COSTUMES ARE ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 80+ YEARS OLD AND COME DIRECT FROM WESTERN COSTUME'S WARDROBE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN USED IN ANY NUMBER OF FILMS.
