This medieval outfit was worn by the character "Steven Kovacs," portrayed by actor Matthew Broderick, in the 1996 black comedy film, "The Cable Guy." The outfit consists of a green velvet tunic, black gauntlet gloves, and a helmet with feathers. The helmet is constructed of leather, painted to look like metal. The initials “MB #1” is handwritten in faded black ink on the inside collar of the tunic.
Mr. Broderick wore the outfit during the Medieval Times scene when he and Chip (Jim Carrey) battle it out in the arena. The helmet was worn exclusively during the joust scene while the gloves and tunic were worn throughout the entire fight sequence.
The items are in excellent screen worn condition and are accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.
