The free to enter exhibition at the Museum of Style Icons is called ‘Brendan Grace and Bottler, The Liberty Boys’ and includes lots of Brendan’s famous garments and costumes including ‘Bottler’, ‘Fr. Fintan Stack’ of Father Ted and the ‘Drunken Father of the Bride’.
The ‘Bottler’ jacket worn by Sonny in this picture was made especially for the exhibition by tailor, Louis Copeland who dressed Brendan Grace throughout his illustrious career. The exhibition is open now and runs until spring 2022.
