Die Hard: With A Vengeance, Karl's Federal Reserve Shirt & Tie

original movie costume

This shirt and tie were screen-worn by Sven Toorvald as "Karl" in the John McTiernan film DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE. Karl is the leader of a group of Simon Gruber's (Jeremy Irons) German henchmen who impersonate as US Marshals guarding the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The shirt is labeled with the actor's name inside.
When Lieutenant John McClane (Bruce Willis) shows up at the bank lobby to check things out on a hunch, Karl manages to fool him with his American accent and invites him to tag along to the vaults to do his rounds (basically a trap). While walking to the elevator and making small talk, Karl unknowingly makes the mistake of saying "raining dogs and cats" instead of "raining cats and dogs" arousing McClane's suspicion. In the elevator, McClane discovers the truth quickly through another clue and kills all four henchmen after a violent struggle.
