Robin of Sherwood, Little John Fur Coat Swatch

original movie costume

A swatch from Little John's bearskin jacket that actor, Clive Mantle, wore over the last two years of production.

The jacket was almost impossible to keep clean. By the end of production it was hired out for numerous other unknown productions, and somewhere along the line got broken down and cut up for scraps.

A sad end to a lovely looking, iconic costume.

The majority of what remains together with various bits from Mantle's costume is owned by another fan collector, but I was lucky enough to be given this piece to frame.
