A remarkable collection of costumes created and supplied by Angels The Costumiers, for some of the most iconic international film, television and theatre productions in history will be sold at Bonhams on Tuesday 6 March 2007, in what is believed to be the UK’s largest auction of film and television costumes.

...

One of the star lots in the sale is Obi-Wan ‘Ben’ Kenobi’s cloak worn by Sir Alec Guinness in the masterpiece Space adventure Star Wars (1977). Obi Wan Kenobi is one of the most prominent characters in the Star Wars saga. Whilst the character is central in the recently filmed prequels (Episodes I-III), starring Ewan McGregor in the role, the character first appeared in the first installment of the saga, Episode IV, A New Hope. Sir Alec Guinness gave a remarkable performance as the ageing Jedi Knight in Episode IV and resumes his role in the other sequels, usually clad in this iconic Jedi robe.

...

This original cloak, an integral part of this world of excitement and mystery is estimated at £50,000-60,000.

They're also selling several of James Bond's suits - mostly Brosnan, with some Moore, including the Navy jacket from "The Spy Who Loved Me".

There's just over a month left until the auction, so reserve your seats now. We've all got a few thousand quid lying around, right?
