Description:
"Stop right where you are! Don't flutter an eyelid! Or I'll stab ya! I'll stab ya through!"
Shannon Christie’s (Nicole Kidman) waistcoat from Ron Howard’s 1992 romantic drama Far and Away.
The film follows a young Irish couple who flee to the States for a new life, but find the promised land of America harder to navigate than they thought.
Shannon wore her waistcoat when she and Joseph (Tom Cruise) took part in the Land Run of 1893. It is dark blue with an ornate floral pattern down the front and around the waist. It has ten metal buttons and a metal rod sewn into the garment behind the buttons to help it keep its shape.
The waistcoat has some wear from production use and age, including some loose threads and plucking. Some of the blue has bled into the white inner lining of the waistcoat, discolouring it. Considering the age of the item it remains in an excellent condition.
