Michael Jackson's Personally Owned & Worn Rhinestone Embellished Jacket From the Collection of Frank Cascio W/Letter of Provenance & Previous Auction Lot Card - This jacket was personally owned and worn by Michael Jackson. This black jacket has a band collar, and gold and red decorative piping.

This jacket was acquired from the personal collection of Frank Cascio, who was a close friend and personal assistant to Michael for over 25 years.

During the time in which Cascio worked for Michael he was given many personal items, and this is one of those pieces. The jacket will be accompanied by a previous auction lot card, along with a letter of provenance from Cascio which states that Michael "wore this jacket in early 2000 and many other times."
