Tony Soprano is selling his wardrobe for charity

James Gandolfini, who starred on the hit HBO series, is selling off 24 outfits, including the button-down blue shirt he wore in the opening credits and the bathrobe he donned to fetch the morning newspaper.

This photo supplied by Christie's auction house shows a costume worn by the character Tony Soprano, played by actor James Gandolfini in HBO's  series 'The Sopranos.' The 'blood-splattered' outfit was from a scene in the first episode of  Season 6 in which Uncle Junior shoots Tony in a fit of dementia. The auction house said the costume could fetch $2,000 to $3,000 when it is sold in New York on June 25 during Christie's Pop Culture auction. (AP Photo/Christie's Images, Ltd.)

Proceeds from the June 25 pop culture auction at Christie's will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit group that assists severely wounded soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Estimates for the costumes start at $500.

Gandolfini's wardrobe, which includes many outfits with the original production tags attached, is expected to bring up to $36,500.

The actor's contract allowed him to keep the clothes after the show ended its six-season run last year, Christie's said. He has authenticated all the outfits in the sale.
