J.M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) circus ringmaster costume from Marc Forster's biopic Finding Neverland. Barrie wore his ringmaster costume when he first met the Davies family. He danced with his dog Nana for the amusement of the family, and in their imagination was dressed as a circus ringleader, dancing with a bear.

The costume was designed by Alexandra Byrne, who received an Academy Award nomination for her work on Finding Neverland, and later won an Oscar for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. It comprises a double-breasted tailcoat made of silk velvet, with printed paisley patterns on the collar and gold lame insertions; a matching waistcoat with russet velvet and gold lame; a pair of ivory satinised cotton trousers with elasticated stirrups; a linen shirt with a shaped collar; a pair of black leather boots with crimson leather lining; and a black plush top hat. Each costume piece features an interior handwritten "Johnny Depp" label.

The costume comes on a custom-made display. It shows some wear from use, including worn areas and slightly split seams, and is accompanied by an autographed photo of Depp. Dimensions (on display) 37.5 cm x 53 cm x 196 cm (14.75" x 20.75" x 77.25")

Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.
