Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) Costume from Catch Me If You Can
This Pan Am airline pilot's uniform was worn by the character, "Frank Abagnale Jr.," portrayed by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, in the 2002 motion picture, "Catch Me If You Can." The outfit consists of a navy blue blazer with gold trim on the cuffs, matching pants, a white long sleeve dress shirt with epaulet devices, and a dark navy tie with gold colored clasp. The Size 38R double breasted blazer and Size 33/29 pants were custom tailored for Mr. DiCaprio's use by Dominic Gherardi and the interior jacket is complete with the original tailor's label with the name "Leonardo DiCaprio" and production date "December 2001" clearly typed. The long sleeve shirt was custom tailored for Mr. DiCaprio by Anto of Beverly Hills and measures 15 ½" X 23". The interior of the garment has the tailoring label sewn inside with the actor’s initials "L.D." and "Feb. 2002."

Mr. DiCaprio wore the outfit in numerous scenes throughout the film, which chronicled the real life story of a young man who impersonated a Pan Am pilot and several other bogus identities in order to run confidence scams and evade the law. The Pan Am costume is of particular significance in the film as it marked Frank's first foray into truly lucrative crime, and his successful charade as a pilot allowed him to steal more than 2.8 million dollars in forged Pan Am payroll checks over a period of years. Apart from its appearance in numerous pivotal scenes throughout the film, Mr. DiCaprio also appeared wearing this costume in several promotional and publicity stills for the production.

The garments are in excellent screen worn condition and are accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.
