## Key points

- McCartney conceived the Edwardian military band look.
- M Berman Ltd made the colourful suits.
- The originals are believed to remain with the Beatles’ families.

## Summary

The Beatles’ colourful Sgt Pepper uniforms were designed to bring Paul McCartney’s idea of an Edwardian military band to life, giving the 1967 album a vivid visual identity that matched its experimental music. The costumes became among the group’s most recognisable images, though their makers and present whereabouts are less widely known.

M Berman Ltd made the suits, with Noel Howard among the team; the company was later bought by Angels Costumes. The originals are believed to remain with the Beatles’ families: Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are thought to hold their own, Olivia Harrison is said to own George Harrison’s, and Yoko Ono has lent John Lennon’s green tunic to museums. A rumour that Starr’s suit was destroyed in a 1979 house fire persists, while Harrison wore a suit in later videos and McCartney used a replica.
