Description

Andy Devine "Pickle Bixby" tan suit designed by Royer from In Old Chicago. (TCF, 1937) Tan, taupe, butternut and raspberry small square pattern rough wool 2-piece period suit. Three button long jacket is lined in copper ribbed satin with flap but no actual pockets. Lining has separated along seam 12 in. A few minor pulls on lining. Slight soiling around armpits. Sleeves have been hemmed 1.25 in. (which can be let down easily). An added bonus is a cigar in the inner pocket. Can't say for certain that it was Andy's since the outfit was worn by others after him. It is a 5 in. Van Dyck General Cigar Co. cigar in cellophane. Pants are unlined with button closure, slant front pockets and boot straps. Pants have small hole on middle back. Both pieces have United Costumers label handwritten "Andy Devine 3" and other post production numbers. Jacket is stamped "51" and pants "287". Designed by Royer. Worn by Andy Devine as "Pickle Bixby" as the bouncer at The Senate (Tyrone Power and Alice Faye's place) in In Old Chicago.
