Our expert's notes

Jim's (Christian Bale) brown leather jacket from Steven Spielberg's Oscar®-nominated Second World War film Empire of the Sun. Jim wore his jacket throughout his time in the internment camp, with the distressing of the patch on the back a close match to that seen on his jacket near the end of the film during the camp's forced evacuation. Costume designer Bob Ringwood earned an Academy Award® and BAFTA® nomination for his contribution to the film.

A brown leather bomber jacket made by Schott, the piece features a China Burma India Theater patch on the arm and a large 'blood chit' patch on the back. A black 'J' is written in the collar. The jacket is missing its detachable faux-fur collar and displays significant wear from use, including tears to the leather and lining on the left breast pocket, both arms and to the wool cuffs and waist. The damage to the jacket would make it suitable for a restoration project.

Estimate: £1500 - £2000
