How do you dress for the 60's? - Part 3.5 Where'd you get those cool police uniforms?

As a little addendum for the series on dressing for the 60's, we have a little note about the costumes for our two police officers in the play.

Moonchildren features two police officers, 'Effing' played by Jacob Parker, and 'Bream' played by Michael Wolford. In the play, they will be wearing real vintage police officers coats as part of their costumes.

When asked where she got the coats, Margaret Caterisano told us that "The policeman’s coats for Moonchildren belonged to my father-in-law, Richard Caterisano. He was a policeman in Niagara Falls, New York from the mid 1950s to the mid 1980s."

Another touch of realism is added to the play!

Here are some pictures of the articles in question:

More to come!
