ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY SPECIAL AND EXTREMELY RARE ITEM OF MEMORABILIA!!! IT IS AN OFFICIAL AND AN ORIGINAL JACKET THAT WAS MADE FOR THE CONCERTS ON THE 25th AND 26th AUGUST 1990 AT THE ALPINE VALLEY SKI RESORT IN THE U.S.A. FOR ‘ERIC CLAPTON’...WHO HEADLINED….AND ‘STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN’ AND THE ‘ROBERT CRAY BAND’ WHO WERE IN SUPPORT. ONLY A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THESE VERY EXPENSIVE QUALITY JACKETS WERE MADE TO CELEBRATE THE SOLD-OUT SHOWS WITH THE CUSTOM DESIGNED PATCHES SHOWING THE CONCERT LINE UP AND DATES!!! THEY WERE COMMISSIONED BY THE VENUE AND PRESENTED TO THE ACTS ON THEIR ARRIVAL….COMMEMORATING THESE SOLD OUT SHOWS. THIS WAS NOT NORMAL PRACTICE….THESE JACKETS WERE GENERALLY MADE BY PROMOTERS FOR ENTIRE TOURS...SO THE ARTIST COULD WEAR THEM….BUT EVEN THEN….NOT EVERY TOUR OR ARTIST WOULD MERIT SUCH A GIFT!!!! THIS PARTICULAR JACKET WAS OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM ERIC CLAPTON’S THEN PRODUCTION MANAGER...WHO WAS WORKING FOR HIM AT THE TIME. IT IS A SPECIAL ORDER….CUSTOM MADE ‘HARLEY DAVIDSON’ JACKET THAT IS MADE OF STRONG..THICK..SOFT..QUALITY LEATHER WHICH IS BLACK IN COLOUR. IT HAS TWO ZIP FASTENING SIDE POCKETS ON THE FRONT WAISTLINE...THE FRONT IS A FULL ZIP FASTENER WITH STRONG ‘HARLEY DAVIDSON’ PRESS STUDS. THE WAISTLINE IS ELASTICATED...WITH A LONGER ‘TAIL’ SECTION ON THE REAR. THE WRISTS HAVE SMALL ZIP FASTENERS….AND THE END OF THE SLEEVES HAVE BEEN SUITABLY ‘DISTRESSED’ FOR THAT ‘WORN IN’ LOOK!!! THERE IS A ZIP FASTENING BREAST POCKET ON THE FRONT AND A BUTTON FASTENING INSIDE BREAST POCKET ALSO!!! IT IS LINED INSIDE WITH 100% BLACK AND WHITE PATTERNED RAYON MATERIAL WHICH GIVES IT THAT EXTRA QUALITY LOOK AND FEEL!!! IT COMES COMPLETE WITH IT’S ORIGINAL IDENTITY/MANUFACTURER’S TAGS STILL ATTACHED!!! THE NECK TAB SAYS X-LARGE SIZE. THE FRONT NECK TO WAIST MEASUREMENT IS 22 INCHES 56 CM AND THE UNDER ARM TO UNDER ARM MEASUREMENT IS 22 INCHES 56 CM. THE JACKET HAS NEVER BEEN WORN AND IS IN A STRONG EX+/MINT CONDITION…..HAVING BEEN STORED CAREFULLY SINCE 1990.

THIS JACKET IS ACCOMPANIED BY TWO PROMOTIONAL CAPS FROM THE SAME SHOW!!!

THE ALPINE VALLEY SHOWS ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED….AS THE FINAL SHOW WAS STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN’S LAST EVER CONCERT!!! DIRECTLY AFTER THE SHOW HE BOARDED A HELICOPTER WHICH WAS BOUND FOR CHICAGO. THE HELICOPTER CRASHED KILLING STEVIE AND ALL ON BOARD. THIS JACKET IS AN UNUSUAL AND VERY IMPORTANT ITEM OF MEMORABILIA….BEING MOST LIKELY THE LAST ITEM EVER MADE FOR STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN….FEATURING HIS NAME….DURING HIS LIFETIME!!!…

THIS ITEM COMES WITH A FULL WRITTEN LETTER OF PROVENANCE FROM THE PERSON WHO OBTAINED IT....HE WORKED WITHIN THE MUSIC BUSINESS FOR SEVERAL YEARS!!!!
