Iconic Captain Kangaroo screen-worn costume including red jacket from the red jacket's debut in 1971. Bob Keeshan's lovable character was dressed in a navy blue suit from the show's creation in 1955 until 1971, when he introduced this, the uniform he would wear almost exclusively for the remainder of his series' thirty-year run. Four-piece ensemble comprises the famous red jacket, grey tie and two pink button-up shirts: (1) Fire-engine red jacket featuring deep kangaroo-pouch pockets. From the depths of the pockets the grandfatherly Captain would produce such fun surprises as carrots for Bunny Rabbit. Single-breasted jacket was custom made for Keeshan by John F. Kennedy's tailor, Chipp of New York & New Haven. Chipp label is sewn into an interior pocket and is typed ''Robert Keeshan / 4/16/71''. Features brass buttons, charcoal grey lining and white braided cord trim along the edges of lapels and pockets. Approximately size 40. Dulling to white trim and buttons, else near fine; (2) Grey silk men's necktie with a few minor snags, else near fine condition; (3) Pink long-sleeved button-up shirt is Carlton Collection by Victory in size 16-35. Ink notations appear inside the collar, else near fine. (4) Second pink long-sleeved button-up shirt by Paul Stuart New York, approximately the same size in near fine condition.
