Hades costume

 Here is recent addition to my collection, Hades’s costume worn by Stephen Lovatt on the episode “Looking Death in the eye” from season 5. 

This costume includes a red velvet long sleeves robe, studded gloves, metal necklace, metal crown, studded boots and an original written tag of the character costume pieces.

Hades character changed his robe during season 5. However the crown, metal necklace, boots and gloves were worn in all his appearances.

This costume was sold on April 2021 on eBay. A few weeks before this costume and others arrived to the seller from the trading card company that made the card sets for this show, they were sent these direct from the shows to cut up and use for trading cards, but these never got cut up. Sadly, I guess the black leather top and trousers were cut up for trading cards.

Last photo is from the It’s A Wrap! Auction held in 2001 via Yahoo auction, the second biggest official Xena internet-based public sale focused on Xena props, costumes and memorabilia.
