Kerry Taylor Auctions “Dam Buster” actor's Savile Row Wardrobe for Auction

From our friends at Kerry Taylor Auctions:
 
Our Spring Fashion and Textile auction is wide ranging and enticing. We have the 1950s-60s Savile Row wardrobe of the actor Richard Todd. One of his most memorable roles was as the handsome Wing Commander – Guy Gibson in the `Dam Busters’ in 1955. Mainly made by Cyril A. Clarke they include morning suits, evening wear, country tweeds and city suits (lots 1187-1189).
 
Immediately following on from these is the eye-catching wardrobe of Charles Lucas. He came into his inheritance in the 1960s and enjoyed himself by racing Formula III cars and dressing at Granny Takes a Trip, Mr Fish and the Savile Row tailor Sullivan, Woolley & Co. Not for him the sobriety of Mr Todd’s wardrobe. It is a riot of stripes, flowers, kipper ties and velvet. It is one of the grooviest male wardrobes ever to come to auction.
