Our expert's notes

Jack Torrance’s (Jack Nicholson) jacket from Stanley Kubrick’s horror film The Shining. Torrance wore his jacket throughout much of the film, as he slowly descended into madness during the long winter spent with his family at the Overlook Hotel.

Created by Margaret Howell and designed by costume designer Milena Canonero, this jacket has an identical exterior to the one worn by Nicholson, and was made to be worn by lighting stand-ins and actor doubles, as well as used for distance filming and as a practical prop.

The custom-made blouson jacket is made from burgundy corduroy material with a brown woollen elasticated waistband. Small red buttons run down the front of the jacket and are covered by a placket, with matching buttons on the waist, breast pockets and cuffs. The jacket was personally gifted to one of the production’s riggers by Jack Nicholson. They became good friends during the lengthy filming process and a photo album is included, containing shots of the crew member on set with Nicholson. A call sheet dated 12th September 1978 completes the collection. The costume piece displays general light wear and remains in excellent condition.
