It's not quite getting into Brad Pitt's underwear but fans are being given the chance to get into the hunk's jumper.

The brown woollen sweater is being auctioned for charity, along with hiking boots and snow goggles, all worn by the star in the film Seven Years In Tibet.

The entire list of props from the 1997 Hollywood movie, set in the closed Tibetan city of Lhasa during the Second World War, are being sold to raise money for charity.

Rare tribal weaponry, Buddhist temple artefacts, Tibetan bowls and tea cups and intricate costumes are also among the 4,000 items up for grabs.

Tracy Clifford, 37, co-runs Indian antique furniture dealers Trading Boundaries, which is hosting the sale and auction later this month.

She said: "At the beginning of the year I got a call from Christine Edzard, who runs production company Sands Films which specialises in period props and costumes.

"Her husband Richard Goodwin was the executive producer of Seven Years In Tibet and she had the props in storage.

"She needed to clear out the warehouse and wondered if we would be interested in them.

"I thought the collection was amazing.

"We took everything except some Nazi flags and a hoard of rubber Uzis."

Mrs Clifford, who runs the company, based in Sheffield Green, near Fletching, with her husband, Michael Clifford, 43, wanted to do something special with the unique collection.

She said: "This is not a normal shop. We try to be different and innovative.

"We wanted to use it to raise money for charity as well as offering as many people as possible the chance to see the collection.

"The props will be part of an exhibition at our showroom on September 20 and 21, which is open to the public.

"Everything on display will be for sale."

Prices will range from £3 to £4 for prayer bowls, rising to several hundred pounds for collectable items.

Certain items, including Brad Pitt's jumper, and the beautiful Tibetan costume worn by Jetsun Pema, the real Dalai Lama's sister, who plays his mother in the film, will be auctioned on Friday, September 19, at a preview cocktail party.

Seven Years In Tibet is based on the 1953 memoirs of Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer, played by Pitt.

Harrer, a Nazi sympathiser, left Austria in 1939 to climb killer mountain Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas.

After being captured by British troops, he and fellow climber Peter Aufschnaiter escaped to Lhasa, a city closed to foreigners, where Harrer befriended the young Dalai Lama, who was being trained by monks.

Tickets to the preview party cost £55, which includes cocktails and canapes, and all the money raised during the evening will go to the Tibet Foundation and the Children with Aids Charity.

There will also be fund-raising raffles.

A native Tibetan band will perform songs, along with Brighton-based Tibetan diva Soname Yangchen.
