A Clark Gable vest made for Gone With the Wind MGM, 1939. Tan moire single-breasted silk vest with gray lining, six front buttons, and four pockets, bearing an interior label inscribed, "Oviatt's / Los Angeles and Beverly Hills," with "Mr. Clark Gable / 4364 / 1/25/39" typed to label, mounted in a shadow box. During preproduction, Walter Plunkett had Gable's wardrobe made by Oviatt's, a leading Los Angeles purveyor of fine men's clothing in the 1930s. On April 17, after several weeks of production, Selznick sent a memo to the wardrobe department complaining about the ill-fitting outfits that Gable was wearing. From then on, Gable's wardrobe was made by his personal tailor, Eddie Schmidt. It is uncertain if this vest appeared in the finished film. Provenance: the collection of Tom Heyes. Shadow box: 20.25 x 24.25 x 1.5 in.
