Colin Firth first wore this Regency-era coat as Mr. Darcy in the 1995 production of 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒋𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆. The costume went on to be worn by J.J. Feild as Mr. Henry Nobley in the 2013 film 𝑨𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅. Confirmation that it is the same coat came from Shannon Hale @squeetus, the author of 𝑨𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅. She states on her website that they are indeed one and the same: “𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝑰 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑱.𝑱. 𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒆 & 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒋𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆.
