I can't speak for movie studios, but most theatres have been through several rebuilds and modernizations over the last 40-50 years - due to the enormous development of tech-equipment. In that process much "old stuff" has been dumped. Disastrous, yes - but space is always a problem [huh]

Yes, disastrous and it sucks!

A lot of movie costumes came from costume rental outfits. They maintained large warehouses full of all kinds of costumes. The stars would have costumes made for them, the rest got rentals. In the case of B movies often they rented everything.

So have a good amount of all the hats, dresses, shoes and whatnots been saved by these costume rental outfits? Something tells me no, they probably just donated them or dumped them as the theatre does. Like Ole said, there is only but so much room for all of the clothing no matter how beautiful. I see a lot of beautiful dresses, shoes and hats in movies from the early 1930s but I would imagine that none of it has survived through the years.

Auctions are held periodically to cull the wardrobe and property warehouses. It's mostly dealers bidding so you'll eventually see the items offered for sale in shops and online. Nothing gets thrown out.

More HAT HUMOR from the movies. opcorn:

I know this isn't the Three Stooges, (and I'm sure it's been posted previously) but the Stooges did this routine as well.

Here is Abbott & Costello; The Susquehanna Hat Company.

CLASSIC, and reminiscent of NIAGRA FALLS....
