Military style khaki shirt confirmed genuine by wife Maria

Buddy Holly's personally-owned and -worn beige Dickie's short-sleeve khaki work shirt, no size but likely large, used by Holly when he helped lay tile with the Holley Tile Company, the business owned by his older brother Larry. In very good to fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Holly's wife, Maria Ellen Holly, dated November 20, 1996, in part: "I…guarantee that…Buddy Holly's military style khaki shirt is genuine and authentic property from the estate of my late husband."
