Four cut swatches of cloth, ranging in size from 2.75 x 1.5 up to 3.5 x 4, each taken from material used to make suits for the Beatles by their tailor Dougie Millings in 1964. Different patterned materials include a sample of the black stripe fabric used to make the band’s famous collarless stage jackets. Originally obtained by the best friend of Millings’s daughter. In fine condition. Millings served as the Beatles’s house tailor, affectionatly referred to as ‘Dad,’ by the band. Brian Epstein brought the group to Millings’s shop in hopes of cleaning up their image. A brainstorm by Millings and Paul McCartney resulted in the creation of their trademark matching collarless suits, costing about $90 each. In all Millings made more than 500 outfits for the band.
