This Sgt. Pepper's jacket was made for John Lennon to be worn at a 1967 world premiere Sgt. Pepper's party. The bright green long silky jacket with red trim and white flower epaulettes on the right shoulder is a reproduction of the actual jacket that Lennon wore on the cover of the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album. The jacket is in overall very good condition, with some wear and some light staining on the front at the waist and below, and on the upper back. The epaulette for the left shoulder is missing and the "belt" in the back needs to be stitched back onto the jacket on one side. All of the original buttons and button hooks are intact as well as the "medals" on the left breast and the blue "Coat of Arms" patch on the left arm (the one on the right arm is missing). Estimate: $3,000 - $4,000. THIS DESCRIPTION HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM THE ONE APPEARING IN THE CATALOG.
