Tony Soprano's Wardrobe Hits Big At Fundraiser

Yesterday, during a benefit auction at New York’s Christie’s, the clothes worn by James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano in the hit series The Sopranos, managed to bring in $187,750.

The biggest success of the night was an outfit stained with fake blood worn by Tony during the 6th season, at the time of his shooting set by Uncle Junior. The white undershirt splattered with blood, the dirty pants and the black and gray button-down were put away for the colossal amount of $43,750.

The second main attraction, which also cashed in the significant amount of $21,250, was a four-piece set composed of slippers, boxer shorts, sleeveless undershirt and a three-colored bathrobe worn by Tony on several occasions at the Sopranos’ New Jersey mansion.

Another item, Tony’s lavender-trimmed tan robe with its famous S insignia, was sold for $13,750. In addition to Gandolfini’s wardrobe, composed of 25 pieces, several other costumes, belonging to Domanic Chianese (Junior Soprano), Robert Iler (A.J. Soprano) and Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts) were also put on display and managed to add considerably large amounts of money to the mission.

The money raised by the event will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, which assists the soldiers injured on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. James Gandolfini is one of the firm supporters of the cause, producing and appearing in the HBO special Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq.

The Sopranos was initially released in 1999 by HBO and spanned on six seasons with a total of 86 episodes. The show is the most financially successful cable series ever and many consider it as one of the best television series of all time.
