A custom-tailored black linen sport coat owned and worn by the late, great Buddy Holly. This jacket comes from the collection of his widow, Marina Elena Holly, and her signed certificate of authenticity accompanies it. Holly was known to be well dressed and has been referred to as a "clothes horse;" and this beautiful jacket affirms his reputation. Marina Elena Holly has been very protective of Holly's reputation, and is still the driving force in protecting his legacy, overseeing all posthumous releases. Coming from her personal collection, this jacket has the ultimate provenance. We have found images online of Holly wearing what may be this coat, or is a very similar one. The jacket is in overall excellent condition, with a bit of tearing to the inside lining (easily repaired if you wish.) There is no label or indication of size, but according to one website he was 5'11" and a lanky 145 lbs. As with everything we offer, guaranteed authentic with no time limit.
