Wild Wild West Robert Conrad 3rd & 4th Season costume



After nearly 20 years of searching I was finally able to locate and acquire my favorite costume from the exciting 60s TV series The Wild Wild West. This is Jim West's coat and pants worn by Robert Conrad in the 3rd and 4th season of the show. The cuffs are about 2" wide which means this coat was worn in the 4th season. This is the same costume Robert Conrad is wearing on the cover of TV Guide from 1968. Unfortunately, I located the pants and chaps about a year ago, before I located the jacket and I did not acquire them, as I had given up on ever locating the coat. This is a perfect example on why one should never give up, because about 10 months later I located the jacket and the matching pair of blue pants. Never the less these blue pants (pictured) were indeed worn with this blue jacket in many episodes, though the chaps were more often seen with this ensemble while Jim West was riding across the plains of the wild west.

Still debating if this is real...


Matt Heyerly is always a good fool-ster, master of graphic design. I certainly have never seen it, and I have been collecting records for nearly 35 years now, since I was 4 Gary Emerald was 4 as well. I think it may contain his rendition of the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" he sings on the Disney classic, Disneyland Showtime.

Update: Yes, it's real, I found a Cashbox add Capitol Records took out advertising Kurt's record along side Jack Wild's album.

Heyaa!

Better than Star Wars!

Does anyone remember this show? Neither do I
