(CBS-TV, 1957-1960) Custom-made gray, black, chocolate-brown, and mocha-brown Japanese kimono robe with horizontal stripes, a matching waist sash, and a traditional black Shibori sash worn by actor Desi Arnaz on the season 3 episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, “The Ricardos go to Japan.” This memorable episode finds Ricky singing Cuban Pete (one of his trademark songs) with a distinctly Asian flavor; and Lucy and Ethel trying to pass themselves off as Geisha girls with the hopes of crashing Ricky and Fred’s dinner meeting. Noteworthy is the fact that Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz announced their divorce after filming this episode, resulting in the series quickly coming to an end, and TV’s most beloved friends and neighbors – Lucy & Ricky Ricardo and Fred & Ethel Mertz – being disbanded forever.
