Michael Jackson’s stage-worn “Victory Tour” black fedora, measuring approximately 13.75” x 12.5” x 5,” with interior black leather hatband stamped "Made Expressly For Michael Jackson" and "By Maddest Hatter Los Angeles." White label inside reads, "Made in USA, Custom Made, 100% Genuine Fur,” and the size “7 3/8.” Interior white silk lining bears an emblem for the hat maker, complete with coat of arms and reading " Maddest Hatter, Los Angeles."

Accompanied by a Letter of Provenance from Michael Jackson collector Jacopo D’Ettorre, detailing the piece’s history and how it was passed to him from a woman who received the hat from the Ronald McDonald Foundation in 1986. Also included is the vintage concert pass from the original catcher of the hat when Jackson threw it off stage after his Billie Jean dance. Stage-worn "Victory Tour” fedoras remain among the rarest and most desirable Michael Jackson performance hats as the tour only consisted of 55 concerts.
