"Paternity" Buddy Evans' (Burt Reynolds) Sports Coat

Description

Own a stylish piece of Hollywood history with Buddy Evans’ sports coat from Paternity (1981), worn by legendary actor Burt Reynolds in his role as a bachelor navigating love and fatherhood in this romantic comedy directed by David Steinberg.

This off-white sports coat features a classic notched lapel, two-button front closure, a proper left breast pocket, and two side flap pockets, capturing the sophisticated yet casual style that defined Reynolds’ on-screen wardrobe during the early 1980s. Inside, a label sewn below the proper right breast pocket reads “Cotroneo”, the noted Hollywood tailor responsible for countless film and television costumes. An additional interior tag sewn into the proper right breast pocket reads:
“Cotroneo / costume / 1552 N/ HIGHLAND AVE. / HOLLYWOOD 90028 / MR. BURT REYNOLDS / DATE SIZE.”

Custom-tailored for Burt Reynolds, this coat exemplifies the actor’s signature charm and polished look, seen throughout his performance as Buddy Evans. Garments from Reynolds’ film career are increasingly rare, making this an excellent addition for fans and collectors of classic Hollywood wardrobe pieces.
