Arguably the only "Beatles Style" Harrison signed jacket in existence!Blue-gray wool vintage military style jacket--similar to the type of jackets often worn by Harrison during the latter part of his tenure with the Beatles. Label on the inside pocket reads, "Jacob Reed and Sons, Fine Uniforms, Since 1824," with a zip-up front and hook-and-eye closure at the top. Handsomely signed in black felt tip marker over the left breast pocket, "George Harrison." Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from renowned Beatles autograph authority Frank Caiazzo, who dates the signature from the mid-1960s and states that this jacket is, "a rare and unusual item to have signed by a Beatle...there are only a few articles of clothing that can state that claim." The jacket is well preserved and in excellent condition.
In our extensive review of Beatles memorabilia sales history, the only other article of clothing that we could find signed by Harrison was t-shirts from later in his career. That being said, one could assume in all likelyhood that this is perhaps the only Harrison "Beatles style" signed jacket in existence. Impressive!

This jacket reminiscent of a West Point cadet's jacket is signed by the Beatle over the left breast pocket with a black marker. The label on the inside pocket reads: "Jacob Reed And Sons/Fine Uniforms/Since 1824". An LOA from Frank Caiazzo states: "The signature dates from the mid-1960s. This is a rare and unusual item to have [been] signed by a Beatle... there are very few articles of clothing..." so signed. Jacket is in Very Good condition and comes with a LOA from Frank Caiazzo.
