Music history enthusiasts and Michael Jackson fans are in for a thrilling opportunity as an iconic black-and-white leather jacket once worn by the King of Pop is slated to go up for auction in London this November.
This legendary jacket, custom-made for Michael Jackson for a 1984 Pepsi commercial, is a rare and coveted piece of memorabilia that has left a significant mark on pop culture history. The jacket, offered by costume and prop vendor Propstore, is expected to fetch a substantial sum at the auction, with an estimated price range of £200,000 to £400,000 (approximately $245,000 to $490,000).
The jacket is just one of more than 200 pieces of music memorabilia being auctioned by Propstore, promising a treasure trove for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This isn’t the first time Michael Jackson’s memorabilia has been sought after at auction. In 2011, a black and red leather jacket famously worn by the pop sensation in the music video for “Thriller” was sold for a staggering $1.8 million at an auction in Los Angeles. Then, in 2018, Jackson’s iconic black “Bad” jacket, worn during his first solo tour, found a new owner for $298,000 at a New York auction.
The upcoming auction of the Pepsi commercial jacket offers fans and collectors another unique opportunity to acquire a piece of the King of Pop’s history. This jacket is especially significant as it represents a chapter in Jackson’s career when he was at the height of his fame.
