Mr. Darcy is staying in the U.K., but his white shirt is coming to the District.

Mr. Darcy, played by Colin Firth, dives into a lake and emerges from the water with the iconic white shirt clung to his glorious body in BBC’s 2005 rendition of “Pride and Prejudice.”

The Folger Shakespeare Library on 201 E Capitol St. SE will showcase the famous shirt, which they have dubbed “The Shirt,” starting in August as part of an upcoming exhibit called “Will & Jane: Shakespeare, Austen and the Cult of Celebrity.”

The exhibit will also include a bundle of wood from Shakespeare’s birthplace and William Shakespeare and Jane Austen action figures.

The shirt was loaned to Folger’s by the costume company Cosprop, according to an article in the New York Times on Tuesday.

Although the shirt will be protected from passionate Colin Firth fans by a glass case, Janine Barchas, the curator of the exhibit, told the New York Times that she will be giving Folger’s “some Windex.”

“To be used in what we anticipate will be a daily wiping-down of lipstick marks,” Barchas said.

It’s rare when a shirt becomes a celebrity apart from the actor, but the sexy scene where Mr. Darcy rises out from the lake is so iconic that a 12-foot statue was temporarily erected at the lake where the scene was filmed in 2013. In 2014, Benedict Cumberbatch re-enacted the scene in a photoshoot for charity.
