More Information

Information from the vendor:

Originally bought a large quantity of this French style theatrical clothing about 22 years ago from a huge fellow with a bald head. He had been set and costume designer for TV movies. He had them labelled as such. However, should you watch the film in question you can clearly see the items being used, especially that Yellow/Gold Gentleman's frock coat, pantaloons and lace cravat and long waistcoat being worn in more than one scene by an extra, (we used to have the associated tri-corn hat that accompanied it but one of my daughters wore it to a party and it never came back) Also, I recollect that the white cloak with the fake pearls and queens motif is also in numerous shots.
Some of the items had paper labels with a safty-pin saying for 'Fontainebleau' which I believe was one of the locations used. (some may still retain these prop department labels?)
