"Unknown Treasure" John Gielgud Tunic

Description

This cream linen tunic features blue-gray trim along with blue and olive-green striped detailing on the neckline and armholes, creating a classic studio-crafted look. Two matching striped bands accent the bottom hem. The tunic fastens with hook-and-eye clasps at the top of each shoulder.

Inside the neckline is an original MGM wardrobe tag with faded handwritten text reading “J. GIELGULD [sic] / 1599-554”, indicating studio wardrobe assignment for John Gielgud.

While the specific production remains unknown, this piece stands as a compelling vintage Hollywood costume artifact, ideal for collectors, researchers, and anyone who loves uncovering hidden gems from the Golden Age of film.
