About the Costume

With costume reuse comes another kind of reuse – fabric. This distinctively colored striped silk fabric has also been used for costumes seen in Return to Cranford and Belgravia. 

This waistcoat has been used in several productions depicting the late 18th century through the 19th century. It first turned up in the 1999 TV series The Scarlet Pimpernel, in both the second and third episode of the first season, where it was worn by Anthony Green as Sir Andrew Ffoulkes. From there, it was briefly used in the 2008 sixth episode of the miniseries John Adams, where Zak Orth wore it as James McHenry.

It appeared next in the 2009 miniseries adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma, where Robert Bathurst wore the waistcoat as the character Mr. Weston. Most recently, the piece showed up in the first episode of the 2024 show The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, where Noel Fielding wore it in the title role.

Costume Commentary

  1. Here’s the fabric on a bustle gown in 2001’s Kate & Leopold. Donna Zakowska did the costumes for this production but since it’s mostly set in modern day NYC, it was most likely a rental.

  2. One of my fave movie outfits ever also seems to have been done in this fabric. Looks more subtly silky in dress-form: On Greta Scacchi in 1995 Jefferson in Paris. Done, I think, by Jenny Beavan/John Bright. Should rewatch. For sheer fabulosity. Maybe wait until some AI is able to exchange Nick Nolte for actor of choice…

    • Oooooh look at that, you’re right!  I’ve gotta do a major blog post on reused fabric (on different costumes). It’s on my list! My never ending to do list! It’ll happen…someday!

    • Oh yes, that is very similar. The only difference seems to be the gold stripe has some sort of design to it instead of just a plain stripe. Super, super close. It’s gotta be the same maker.
