Rodney Peete volunteered to wear this jacket on-stage at Muhammad Ali's charitable auction "Fight Night" in 2001 in an effort to raise money for Ali's charitable causes. The jacket's designer Jeff Hamilton would make a custom fit jacket (just like the one worn by Peete), to the size and specifications of the winning bidder. Hamilton kept the one worn by Rodney Peete and it is now being offered here. 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 commemorating Muhammad Ali Fight Night VII 2001" with date "March 17, 2001” and is autographed by the jacket designer and Muhammad Ali with black marker. Jeff Hamilton's 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 with a larger version on the back.. A Jeff Hamilton leather designed logo is on the sleeve with pair of boxing gloves. "The Greatest" runs down the other sleeve with "Ali" all-leather hand stitched design on back collar. Truly a work of art you can wear! 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”.
