1928 Clothes from "Being There" with Peter Sellers

Just saw the movie again and the noticed the suit Peter Sellers' character wears is supposed to be from 1928 by a tailor in New York. A very unique Sellers movie.

 

MY take on the film:

Chance wears the clothes and homborg of the old man (his former employer) and due to his appearance and quietness, he becomes a focal point mirror for everyone else's assumptions and views as he becomes integrated into upper class society through a comedy of errors. This was rated a four-star flick.

A few spoilers below if you're NOT going to see the movie:

From the IMDb:

"A simple-minded gardener named Chance has spent all his life in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. When the man dies, Chance is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from television. After a run in with a limousine, he ends up a guest of a woman (Eve) and her husband Ben, an influential but sickly businessman. Now called Chauncey Gardner, Chance becomes friend and confidante to Ben, and an unlikely political insider."
