This incredible Swarovski lochrosen stone crystal studded black velvet riding helmet was worn by Michael Jackson during his 1981 "Triumph" tour. Custom-made for Michael, the hat bears Michael's name printed on a 2. 1.5 tag sewed on the inside and there is stage make-up residue on that label. Michael's name is also handwritten on the very inside band below the brim, Michael Jackson, 1981, stage use ___" in black ink. Two more labels identify the hat as an authentic riding helmet, one which gives the size "7" and "57" along with instruction on how to wear the hat as well as another one which gives detailed warnings about horseback riding. The hat shows signs of wear but is in beautiful condition with just a few of the many hundreds of stones missing
