Actor James Gandolfini to Auction Off ‘Sopranos’ Wardrobe for Charity

Actor James Gandolfini, who starred in the hit HBO series “The Sopranos,” plans to auction off a portion of the wardrobe worn by his character to benefit a veteran’s charity.

 

Costumes worn by Gandolfini’s character, Tony  Soprano, will be sold at a June 25 pop culture auction at Christie’s.

 

The outfits are expected to bring in almost $36,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit group that assists severely wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Gandolfini has authenticated all the outfits included in the sale, many of which still have their original production tags.

 

A sampling of the 24 outfits up for sale includes a blood-spattered suit worn when Tony Soprano is shot by Uncle Junior and a bathrobe worn in the series’ pilot episode.
