This signature costume was worn by the character "Jan Valek," portrayed by actor Thomas Ian Griffith, in 1998 horror picture, "Vampires." The complete costume change consists of a long crushed velveteen coat, long sleeve textured shirt with oversized cuffs, hand tied black silk cravat, black textured striped vest, black pleated pants, and black leather pieced belt. Also included with the costume are the original costumer's tags with production title, actor/character name, "#1 Master" and hand drawn instructions on how to tie the cravat. The pants also have "HERO, Valik" (sic) handwritten in the interior waistband and retain evidence of faux blood on the inside from their use in action sequences.
This was the signature costume the actor wore in multiple scenes throughout the film as well as during the climactic finale of the picture. "Vampires," starring James Woods, Daniel Baldwin, Sheryl Lee, and Thomas Ian Griffith, is a western-horror film directed by John Carpenter.
The costume is in very good screen worn condition with some evidence of dust and dirt due to extensive use while filming. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.
