Aretha Franklin owned and worn multi-colored gold jacket by Da Rue of California. Very good condition, size 16. Aretha gifted the jacket to famed booking and promotional manager Irwin Pate, who worked with Aretha Franklin, and is perhaps best known for his work and close friendship with James Brown from the late 1960's until the early 1980's. The jacket comes with a letter of provenance from Irwin Pate's widow on "James Brown Productions" letterhead and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
