Callum Drift's Signature Costume — the full record

Everything we know about this costume, written down before it goes anywhere. Measurements taken flat, condition mapped flaw by flaw, every production marking photographed, and the sequences it appears in listed with the evidence we hold for each.

Close detail

Six points · tap a marker
Point 01

Production tag, interior collar

Stitched cotton tape reading CALLUM DRIFT / HERO in the costume department's own hand. Hero tagging means this was the principal's own piece rather than a stunt or double's.

Markers sit on the photograph where the detail is. Everything described here was photographed before the costume was steamed or handled for the catalogue.

Condition map

5 notes · graded as found
Coat · front
Production wear is not damage. A costume that was worn on a set should look like one. We map it so you know exactly what you are getting, not because any of it needs apologising for — and we do not clean, press or repair anything before a sale. What arrived is what ships.

Measurements

Taken flat, garment not stretched
Measure your own garment the same way before comparing — flat, buttoned, seam to seam.

On screen

Where we can place it, and how firmly
00:18:42 North Pole operations centre — full costume, wide and mid shots throughout the briefing sequence. Frame matched
00:51:07 Rooftop pursuit — coat and vest clearly visible; the cuff abrasion mapped at point 01 is visible in three consecutive frames. Frame matched
01:22:15 Workshop confrontation — vest and belt only, coat removed earlier in the sequence. Frame matched
01:44:30 Final sequence — costume appears, but lighting and distance make a definitive match impossible. We are not claiming it. Not matched
Why the last line is there. Three sequences are frame matched and one is not, so we say so. Listing the one we cannot prove is the only thing that makes the three we can prove worth anything. See the frame-match evidence →

Display & care

What we would do with it

Displaying it

Mannequin42–44in chest, standing Anything smaller and the shoulders will not sit right
SupportPad the shoulders, always Eighteen ounces of wool on a bare form distorts within months
LightUnder 50 lux, no direct sun UV takes the colour out of gabardine faster than anything else
CaseNot airtight Wool needs to breathe. A sealed case traps moisture against it

Storing it

HangingWide padded hanger, never wire Or lay it flat, which is better for a garment this heavy
CoveringUnbleached cotton, not plastic Plastic garment bags are how collections are ruined
CleaningDo not Production wear is provenance. Cleaning it removes the evidence
Conditions18–20°C, 45–55% RH Stable matters more than exact

Everything above was written before the lot opened.

Not after somebody asked. A record like this is the difference between buying a story and buying a documented object — and it is why we say plainly when we cannot prove something.
