WARRIORS VEST screen used hero wardrobe by Cochise

  

HERO COCHISE VEST WORN BY David Harris. Signature vest worn as Cochise in The Warriors. (Paramount, 1979) Light brown synthetic leather vest with black trim in a geometric pattern, lined in polyester and handwritten in black ink near the makers label, Cochese [sic]. Worn by Cochise, the soldier who dresses in Native American Indian accoutrements and who successfully makes it back to Coney Island with his Warrior brethren. This is the only Warriors vest known to have survived with original patches, and may be the only opportunity collectors may ever have to own an original wardrobe piece from this classic film.

The other vests from the production had their patches removed and were put back into general use for Paramount productions. Authentication paperwork traces this only known survivor vest directly back to the Paramount Wardrobe department where it was aquired by'The Golden Closet'. Also documentation from PROFILES IN HISTORY. A HIGHLY DOCUMENTED SCREEN USED ITEM. Some expected usage, fading (sweat stains under arms) and wear to the piece, otherwise item is in fine screen used condition.

The movie follows a gang of nine guys from The Warriors gang of Coney Island as they head up to The Bronx for a big meeting. The meeting was called by Cyrus, who is the leader of the biggest gang in the city, as he wants to create a 60,000-strong gang which can overpower the police. Under a truce, nine members from each gang in the city attend the meeting where Cyrus begins his speech of unity. Just as he finishes detailing his plan he gets shot dead by Luther.

In the panic that ensues, Luther frames The Warriors for shooting Cyrus. As the gangs flee back to their home turf, The Warriors soon. That they need to fight their way back to Coney Island. To make matters worse, the truce has been called off, The Warriors have no weapons and every gang in the city is out looking for them. The movie follows their struggle back home through enemy turf, and shows their encounters with various gangs including the Orphans, Turnbull ACs, The Lizzies, Punks, The Rouges, Gramercy Riffs, Boppers, Boyle Avenue Runners, Electric Eliminators and the infamous Baseball Furies.
