Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Jacket to be Auctioned

Alternatively, you can spend about $5 and buy a Jacko jacket knock-off at just about any vintage store around the world.

If you have about $400,000 to spare and feel your wardrobe is missing a garment worn by a musical genius with serious psychological issues, you should probably bid on the iconic jacket that Michael Jackson wore for the landmark Thriller music video. The jacket will be auctioned off in Los Angeles, along with a slew of other music memorabilia – a Steven Tyler harmonica, a guitar smashed by Kurt Cobain – later this month. You could also bid about a tenth of that for the significantly more stylish (for 2011, at least) denim jacket worn by Bruce Springsteen during his Born to Run tour.
