Extraordinary Dylan piece that has not arrived as I post this. I would expect to see this kind of textile from Deadheads, but not from Dylan concerts - in this case, in the UK. The British seller wrote this: "THE JACKET WAS MANUFACTURED BY WHY? DENIM in the Late 1960s. The Former Owner BOUGHT THE JACKET in 1968 and Wore it to THE ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL in 1969 to see BOB DYLAN and EMBROIDERED it accordingly. EACH TIME the DYLAN FAN, Sometime FOLK ARTIST, SAW THE GREAT MAN IN CONCERT, HE WOULD EMBROIDER AND WEAR THE JACKET: BLACKBUSHE FESTIVAL on 15 JULY 1978; FIVE TIMES at EARLS COURT in LONDON during JUNE 1981; TWO TIMES at the N.E.C. in BIRMINGHAM in 1981; AND WEMBLEY STADIUM with SANTANA on 7TH JULY 1984. A LOVELY SLICE OF HISTORY. IMPECCABLE PROVENANCE: WE PURCHASED THE JACKET DIRECTLY FROM THE FAN WHO ATTENDED THE CONCERT. THE JACKET IS IRREFUTABLY AUTHENTIC AND WILL PASS ANY TEST OF AUTHENTICITY. WE ARE SECOND IN THE CHAIN OF OWNERSHIP."
lovely original hippy chic, awesome!
