Most of the original costumes from A Christmas Story still exist nearly 25 years after the movie was filmed. They were discovered in a costume warehouse by Tyler Schwartz and Jordie Smits while filming the documentary Road Trip for Ralphie.  The costumes were acquired by A Christmas Story Museum in early 2008 and will go on display during A Christmas Story Convention.  Included in the collection are the kids jackets, hats, caps and pants, the Parker’s clothes from Christmas morning, Randy’s snowsuit, the Black Bart shirts, the chinese waiter outfits, and even the costumes from the deleted Flash Gordon scene along with many others.

Below are some pictures of the costumes in the warehouse before they were brought to A Christmas Story Museum.

The costume warehouse was enormous.  It took two full days to locate all the costumes.
