CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (1968) - Baron Bomburst's (Gert Fröbe) Tailcoat
Baron Bomburst's (Gert Frobe) tailcoat from Ken Hughes' musical adventure Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Bomburst wore his tailcoat when he captured Grandpa Bungie Potts (Lionel Jeffries) after mistaking him for Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) and ordered him to create another flying car.

The tailcoat is made of dark red velvet material with a gold fabric trim around the edges, pockets and cuffs. The coat displays an elaborate embroidered flower and leaf design throughout, featuring gold thread detailing and small iridescent sequins. The lining is made of padded cream satin material with hook-and-eye clasps to fasten the coat along the front. An Angels the Costumiers label is located in the collar, with an M. Berman Ltd. label in the interior pocket, reading 'Gert Froebe' (sic). The tailcoat displays signs of wear and age, including marks and light plucks around the collar and hem.
