Lot 1771
Custom-Made Shirt. An important part of the Sinatra image was the look -- perfectly put together whether he was in the recording studio, going to a ballgame or performing, Sinatra was always the best-dressed man in the room. Careful about fabric, construction and fit, with exacting standards, Sinatra patronized the best haberdashers and tailors and kept his wardrobe at home perfectly organized.
This # length sleeve shirt and the one below were designed by Sinatra and constructed for him by Anto of Beverly Hills. Sinatra had many of his clothes custom made to his specifications and, because he did not like long sleeves and was uncomfortable in a too-short sleeve, this was his compromise. He wore this shirt and the one below in Rancho Mirage and elsewhere.
Sporty with beautiful detailing. The inner placket bears three tags; one identifies Anto, the other reads, "Frank Sinatra" and the third, "June 1991". Beautiful condition.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
From the Collection of Tony Oppedisano.
