Bo Diddley Signed Stage and Iconic Event Worn Brown Pinstripe Suit.
Bo Diddley wore this brown two-piece (jacket and pants) brown suit with orange pinstripes while performing on stage as well as to the most important events in his life including his wedding to Sylvia McDaniel, the Presentation Ceremony for his Lifetime Grammy Achievement Award, his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, as well as additional award ceremonies and concert events. The jacket bears two of his favorite pins, a red rectangular guitar and a small gold bird.
From the personal collection of Bo’s close friend and protégé Charlie Tona, a guitarist and guitar-maker who both played with and designed guitars with Bo Diddley. Towards the end of his career, Bo gave this to Charlie, entrusting him with it to keep it in good condition, and hopefully reap the benefits one day if it were to be sold.
Condition: Very Good Vintage Worn.
Dimensions: Jacket - 48 Long, Pants - there is no tag, the pants maybe have been customized for him.
Authenticity: Certified Letter of Provenance from Wife Sylvia McDaniel, Letter of Provenance from Charlie Tona and photos of Bo wearing the suit onstage and off, and at iconic events.
