Description

Flamboyant stage-worn hat, acquired from the 1996 Elton’s Closet sale

Green velour hat with a black rim owned and most likely concert-worn by Elton John, 9 x 12, featuring a manufacturer’s tag from Comme de Garcons and a hang tag depicting the Neiman-Marcus label. The flamboyant head gear was procured by our consignor from the very first Elton’s Closet sale held in 1996 at the Neiman-Marcus store in Atlanta where Sir Elton has maintained a part-time residence. Benefitting his Elton John AIDS Foundation charity, the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer has been holding such sales of his vast and ever-growing collection of stage worn and daily attire for many years in various locales, most notably New York City in 2011. The clothing sales are just one fundraising element of the far-reaching charity that has raised more than $50 million since its founding in the early 1990s. In fine condition.
