Lost Auction: Charlie's Fire+Water costume

I'm a huge fan of Charlie Pace and had several of his props and costumes on my auction watch list. However, when prices started high and continued higher, I decided that my best bet to avoid spending four figures was to purchase one of his lower profile outfits. I ended up winning lot #260, his flashback costume from the episode Fire + Water. Charlie wears this outfit when he meets Liam's wife at the hospital following the birth of their daughter, and in a scene inside his swinging London bachelor pad.


A card was included in this lot which identifies the episode & scene in which the costume is needed, and which enumerates the various pieces that make up Charlie's full ensemble.


The COA was sent separately, arriving in December.


I like the colour and style of this T-shirt, and also think it is cool that it was worn during a time when Drive Shaft was still a band (if only for a few more days).

The T-shirt has highly-distressed edges. I'm assuming this was applied by LOST's costume department, unless Dominic Monaghan liked it so much that he wore it around Hawaii during his off-hours as well.


The crest below appears on the lower back of the shirt.


The pants are a size 28 blue jean, lightly worn, with some nice detail work throughout.


I didn't find any heroin in the jean pockets, but I did find a bit of Dominic Monaghan's lint. I wonder how much that would go for on eBay?


A long, knit green scarf completes the ensemble.


My son is only twelve but is tall for his age, so was able to serve as a model for the clothes.


Part-way through my son proclaimed that he had a great idea. I suspect this will be the only time I say "yes" to drugs.


While in character he thought it would be fun to play out a few other iconic Charlie moments.
