Richard Cardini, Jr. ’s bellhop costume. Modeled after the costume made famous by his mother, this bellhop uniform was tailored for her son, Richard Cardini, Jr. Includes military-style uniform, pants, suspenders, and matching bellboy’s cap bearing a letter “C” monogram. Shows considerable internal and external wear from use. A photograph of Richard, Jr. in a similar costume can be seen on an early Cardini Christmas card. In that image (shown here), he poses with his mother, who is similarly attired.
