Description

Dick Van Dyke "Bert" Jacket from the "Jolly Holiday" Sequence in Mary Poppins (Disney, 1964). Vintage original iconic jacket worn by Dick Van Dyke as "Bert" in one of the most memorable scenes from Walt Disney's timeless children's classic, Mary Poppins. Van Dyke stars as ''Bert'' the chimney sweep opposite Julie Andrews as the magical title character ''Mary Poppins''. This instantly recognizable, colorful striped coat was worn in the whimsical scene in which Bert, Mary Poppins, and Jane and Michael Banks jump into one of Bert's sidewalk chalk paintings of an English countryside and county fair. Van Dyke wears this coat when he sings ''Jolly Holiday'' to Mary as the couple strolls through an animated landscape innovatively combining live-action with animation, allowing cast to interact with cartoon animals on screen. The scene concludes with a comic sequence in which Bert clowns and dances with a pack of penguins. The jacket is designed with vertical stripes running throughout in bold pink and orange bands, notched collar, 2-hip pouch pockets and 1-left chest pocket, and button front closure.
