Wetten, Dass...? TV Show Worn Custom Black Jacket (1999)

Description:

This custom black jacket was worn by Michael during an interview on the popular German TV show "Wetten, dass...?" on March 20th, 1999.  Michael appeared on the show to talk about his project “Michael Jackson & Friends”.  Michael wore the same jacket during a trip to London in April of 1999, as he visited the famous Harrod's department store and the Fulham Football Club with friend and host Mohammed Al Fayed.

From The Golden Closet/Gotta Have It:

The black fitted zip-front jacket is made of wool crepe with long sleeves, wide collar with no lapel, and open cuffs. Both front sides of the jacket have heavy soutache braid passementerie in a floral design, and a woven red and black moiré band is stitched to the upper right sleeve. Sewn into the interior of the jacket is a “Dennis Tompkins” and “Michael Bush” designer label, the two-man designer and stylist team that created and implemented Mr. Jackson’s look and image for the past 25 years. This jacket is an excellent example of Jackson’s later style and will make an impressive addition to any collection of high profile music memorabilia.
