Flipside of Dominick Hide (The)

An original costume used in the production of The Flipside of Dominick Hide, the 1980 BBC science fiction production starring Peter Firth in the title role.

Worn by Peter Cann as the Home Help the jacket was bespoke made for the production by theatrical tailors Gordon Garforth and is constructed from heavyweight cream coloured corduroy with contrasting brown lapels and cuff details which has been weathered and distressed to appear old and well used. The costume features orange lining to the interior and bears a BBC T/V warddrobe label in addition the costumiers label which is hand inscribed 'PETER CANN' and 'DOMINICK HIDE' in pen

The jacket remains in good screen used condition with some minor age related wear and the aforementioned production weathering.
