Jason Kidd volunteered to wear this jacket on-stage at Muhammad Ali's charitable auction "Fight Night" in 2004 as an effort to raise money for Ali's charitable causes. The winning bid came in at just over $30K! The jacket's designer, Jeff Hamilton, would make a custom fit jacket (just like the one worn by Kidd), to the size and specifications of the winning bidder. Hamilton kept the one worn by Jason Kidd and it is now being offered here, complete with Hamilton documentation. This is a 100% genuine leather hand-crafted varsity style jacket featuring “The Greatest” Muhammad Ali themed design. The inside liner reads “This is a Limited Edition Jacket Designed by Jeff Hamilton May 2004” and is autographed by the jacket designer Mr. Hamilton with blue marker. His label appears on the inside coat pocket and back collar with attached “XL” size flag tag. Across the front is a famous replica pose of Ali inside the ring where he has autographed on the white trunks in blue marker. Split across the jacket is “Muhammad Ali” in yellow signature style and “GREATEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIMES” with gem lettering. A Jeff Hamilton leather designed logo is on the left sleeve end. A red jeweled and white leather belt wraps around the left sleeve and connects to a Ali Bust champions belt on the back. The belt design on back has amazing detail and craftsmanship, truly a work of art you can wear! A full color portrait likeness of Ali (with towel wrapped around his neck) stitched in leather, completes the stunning design on the back. The right sleeve has the boxer name “MUHAMMAD ALI” over an all-leather star logo with jewels overlay. Jacket includes a red satin lining and elastic in the waistband for added comfort. Buttons fasten down the front and sleeves ends. Both art and sport collide to produce a piece of memorabilia to fit “The Greatest of all Time”.
