This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. The piece likely originated with the 1955 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst. It is possible that it came from an earlier production, as 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 did recycle some of its costumes.   The costume was used again in the 1961 film 𝑺𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒔, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Oga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves.   Want to learn more, or see more costumes from 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓? Visit our website! Bit.ly/TudEliz228
