Original Costumes
Most of the original costumes from A Christmas Story still exist nearly 25 years after the movie was filmed. They were discovered in the Thunder Thighs Costumes warehouse by Tyler Schwartz and Jordie Smits while filming the documentary Road Trip for Ralphie. The costumes and script with polaroid pictures from the set were had been kept by Lynda Kemp the wardrobe supervisor for A Christmas Story. The costumes were acquired by A Christmas Story Museum in early 2008 and are currently on rotating display at he Museum. Included in the collection are the kids jackets, hats, caps and pants, the Parker’s clothes from Christmas morning, Randy’s snowsuit, the Black Bart shirts, the chinese waiter outfits, and even the costumes from the deleted Flash Gordon scene along with many others.
Below are some pictures of the costumes in the warehouse before they were brought to A Christmas Story Museum.
