- Western_Costume abstract "Western Costume is a costume warehouse in Hollywood, California which supplies costumes and costuming supplies to the film and TV industry. One of the oldest businesses in the industry, the company outdates any studio or production company currently in operation.The company was founded in 1912 by L. L. Burns a former Indian trader who had amassed a collection of hundreds of American Indian artifacts, weapons, costumes and jewelry items. Burns was in a partnership with Harry Revier to service the film industry in 1912 and in 1913 they rented the stables of Hollywood realtor Jacob Stern to establish the second film studio that year (the first being the Nestor Studio at Sunset and Gower, having been established in the former Blondeau Tavern a year before in 1911.) The Burns & Revier Studio was subleased to Cecil B. DeMille for the film The Squaw Man Burns noted the poor quality of the props being used and costumes worn by actors playing American Indians and was hired to provide costumes for the film. Burn's acumen for historically accurate western wear spread quickly in the film industry, then just in its infancy. Burns expanded his collection with garments from second hand stores and purchased the stock of the only other costume and prop company of the day, Fishers. The Great Depression forced Burns to sell his business and take a job as the head of the costume department at Warner Bros.Western Costume kept its name through numerous sales both to individuals and a consortium of studios. It augmented its costume sale and rental business with uniform manufacturing for the California National Guard.The company sells costumes used in well known films at auction from time to time. The company generally only deals with studios and filmmakers but each year, prior to Halloween, the company opens its doors to the general public. While only a subset of the collection is made available, costumes seen on screen are included. In recent years, dresses from Gone with the Wind, pirate costumes from Treasure Island as well as costumes from Friday the 13th and Halloween have been available for rental.".
