The black cotton shirt was custom made for the production by leading industry tailors Western Costume and features its original label to the interior collar which is type written 'MARLO BRANDO' (sic) with his chest, sleeve and collar sizes, later hand inscribed with the size XXL over the number.

The shirt remains in excellent production used condition, very fine.
