Captain Kangaroo classic navy blue suit screen-worn by Bob Keeshan from the early years of the program. In fact, the jacket is credited with inspiring the Kangaroo moniker due to its oversized pockets. The grandfatherly Captain delighted viewers with surprises or carrots for Bunny Rabbit produced from the giant pockets. Prior to the red suit jacket, Captain Kangaroo wore navy blue for the first 17 seasons of the series. Custom suit includes single-breasted jacket with four brass nautical-style buttons and grey trim in approximate size 40, with a pair of navy blue trousers with matching trim in approximate size 38 x 28. Some wear, else near fine. Obtained directly from the Captain Kangaroo estate.
