ThreeSixty Asset Advisors Announces Three-Day Auction of CRC Costume Rental Corporation in North Hollywood

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ThreeSixty Asset Advisors and Crescent Commercial Corporation are pleased to announce a three-day public auction of Costume Rental Corporation. CRC, a North Hollywood legacy wardrobe rental house, is closing after nearly five decades serving motion picture and television. The sale features approximately 800 consumer/collector lots on Thursday, September 25, and 2,500 trade/volume lots closing on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 30 and October 1, with more information at 360Bid.sale.

CRC is closing amidst unprecedented industry changes, a reflection of the sustained slowdown in Southern California production that has squeezed below-the-line vendors across the region. Against that backdrop, CRC's closure marks the end of an era for a shop that outfitted generations of projects in Hollywood. CRC's historic collection is now open to the public, spanning fashion, uniforms, military, and Hollywood history.

Shon LeBlanc of Valentino's – a 40-year costume industry veteran – has been assisting CRC to sort through its stock and prepare for the auction. When asked his thoughts, LeBlanc said: "OMG! What a treasure trove this is. There are star pieces attributed to Marilyn Monroe, Heddy Lamar, Veronica Lake, Debbie Reynolds, Robert DeNiro, Chevy Chase, Shelly Winters, Paulette Goddard, Lindsy Lohan, Daniel Radcliff, Zack Efrain and many more. If that's not enough, I found the holy grail of costume pieces—a vintage tie by the iconic costume designer Adrian. I've never seen so many rare and unique items in one place. The sheer quantity and quality of costumes and accessories is breathtaking."

The offering draws from decades of screen use across major productions, with categories including period womenswear, men's designer suits, military and police uniforms, western, medieval and renaissance clothing, and occupational wear such as flight attendants, bellhops, marching bands, and more – all organized into curated consumer lots and industry-ready volume groupings. CRC's credits over five decades include many landmark titles across film and TV - from Apocalypse Now and Saving Private Ryan to Forrest Gump, Jackie, A Star is Born and A Complete Unknown - highlighting its pedigree.

"What makes this sale special is its range and depth - from vintage period clothing and screen-ready uniforms to memorabilia that will intrigue generations of consumers. There are thoughtfully built lots for collectors and cosplay enthusiasts, vintage retailers, militaria buyers, and costume rental houses alike." said Jeff Tanenbaum, President of ThreeSixty Asset Advisors. "Every day the team finds something new, from the vibrant wedding costumes in Coming to America to the nostalgic baseball uniforms of the original Bad News Bears to Tom Hank's iconic sweater in Castaway. And just added—a Marilyn Monroe skirt and body forms used for both Monroe and Lucille Ball."

On day one, the consumer/collector lots will be sold. New lots are being added daily to the catalog and buyers can register and bid now, with items closing live starting at 9:30 a.m. PT on September 25. On days two and three, the trade/volume lots will be sold by category and era. While these lots will cater to industry buyers, the sale will be open to the public, with many small-quantity lots included as well. Bidding for day two and three lots will open soon and close on September 30 and October 1, starting at 9:30 a.m. PT each day.
