The costume Oscar winner Mark Rylance wore in acclaimed BBC historical drama Wolf Hall is to be auctioned off to raise funds for an anti-war film.

A fur-lined coat, shirt, hat, and codpiece, which the knighted actor wore as Thomas Cromwell in the mini-series are set for auction on eBay, and proceeds from the sale will help fund a movie adaptation of Jaroslav Hazek’s novel The Good Soldier Schwejk.

The costume is being sold by filmmakers at Sands Films with the blessing of pacifist Rylance, who is a patron of the Stop The War coalition. Sands Films executives were behind Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies and they are also producing The Good Soldier Schwejk.
