An original gown from Liverpool Institute. Both Paul McCartney and George Harrison attended the school and may have worn similar during their time there. The black gown features a pleated back with black and green ribbons from the shoulders. It is accompanied by a Liverpool Institute patch and two letters giving information about the school.

The gown has a small hole towards the bottom on the back panel. A name tag has been sewn into the gown. The condition is very good.

Each letter measures 20.5cm x 25.5cm (8 inches x 10 inches). They have been previously folded leaving horizontal crease lines. There is some light wear around the edges and a staple hole in the top left corner of one letter. The condition is very good.

The patch measures 10.5cm x 10cm (4.1 inches x 3.9 inches). There is some wear to the material and loose threads around the edges. The condition is very good.

Provenance: formerly the property of pupils from the school.
