Adenoid Hynkel's (Charlie Chaplin) dress uniform jacket from Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. Hynkel wore his dress uniform throughout the film.

This jacket consists of a beige wool double-breasted military style jacket with a navy blue collar, lapels, cuffs and metal eagle crest buttons. It has a black embroidered patch on the right side collar with gold-color lining around the edge and two staggered X's at center. The jacket is lined with black sateen fabric and quilted cream-color satin. The back interior features an internal Western Costume Co. "WCC" stamp, largely illegible due to discoloration, and a Western Costume Co. label hand-marked for "Chas Chaplin" "No. 24457 # 6-A" "Chest: 37 1/2" in black ink. The interior of the right sleeve features a red Western Costume Co. stamp, also marked with an "80," and another stamp for "E248." Small holes along the front of the jacket show the previous placement of the left line of buttons, which were moved over slightly at some point. This costume exhibits discoloration, snapped threads, loose lining, frayed fibers, and a hole in the lining of the collar.

Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000
