The proceeds from Tony Soprano's clothes will benefit organization for wounded soldiers.

If it's bathrobes and button-down silk shirts that strike your fancy, then Tony Soprano selling his wardrobe is for you.

James Gandolfini, who played Tony Soprano in The Sopranos, is selling off 24 outfits from the series. Included is the blue button-down shirt he wore from the opening credits and the bathrobe he fetched the morning newspaper in.

Proceeds from the auction, set for June 25 at Christie's, will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, which is a nonprofit organization that helps severely wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq. Each auction for each costume will start at $500.

The entire wardrobe, which has received Gandolfini's authentication, is expected to rake in up to $36,500.

The costume that figures to garner the most money is the blood stained black-and-beige short-sleeve polo shirt, white tank top and black pants that Tony was shot in by a demented Uncle Junior in Season 6. The outfit figures to make up to $3,000.
