“Saks Fifth Avenue” dressing gown

A long black dressing gown with long sleeves, featuring a matching belt and a shawl collar. A high-end ready-to-wear garment, crafted from plain black fabric, showcasing the classic construction of luxury men’s loungewear from the late 20th century.

The woven ‘Saks Fifth Avenue’ label inside links the item to distribution by the New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue, positioning the piece within a premium retail segment, though it does not allow for precise dating beyond the general production period of the associated ready-to-wear range.

The item is thus presented as a dressing gown likely worn by Michael Jackson, according to the account of Frank Cascio, author of the book *My Friend Michael*.
