MICHAEL JACKSON'S CUSTOM-MADE BLACK WESTERN SHIRT
A fine, hand-decorated western-style cotton shirt once owned and worn by the legendary singer and dancer Michael Jackson. The custom-made shirt, reminiscent of Jackson's taste of the late 1980's, features long lapels with small pearl-like appliques encircling round, hand-worked ornaments. The same design appears on the end of each sleeve. The front of the shirt, as well as the cuffs, close with similar hand-worked circular snap-type buttons. The shirt is free of any damage and remains in very fine condition. From the collection of Jackson's long-time friend and supporter Frank Cascio (b. 1981). Cascio met Jackson when he was five years old, and the two maintained a steadfast friendship until Jackson's death. Jackson would at times arrive at Cascio's New Jersey home unannounced simply to live a life unfettered by paparazzi, bodyguards, and clinging fans. With letter of authenticity by Cascio. From celebrated memorabilia dealers GottaHaveIt! Collectibles of New York City.
