Description

Extensively photo-documented and hand-embroidered “Lee H. Oswald” jacket

Oswald’s personally-owned and -worn tweed jacket made by Kawashima Tailors of Yokohama, Japan, embroidered with his name above the inner pocket, “Lee H. Oswald.” In fine condition, with some scattered staining inside. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from his older brother, Robert L. Oswald, which states that Lee bought the jacket in 1957 or 1958 while stationed in Japan, and subsequently brought it with him to Russia. Additionally accompanied by six images of Lee wearing the jacket: four while in Russia with his wife, Marina and family and two single portraits of him. A generously worn piece of Oswald clothing, bolstered by photo evidence and impeccable lineage.
