Made-to-measure black tuxedo, Dunhill Tailors New York

A formal garment associated with Michael Jackson in his private life, this black tuxedo with long tails is part of a formal wardrobe that the artist had made to measure for his off-stage appearances. The cut, with matching lapels and buttons, is that of a classic evening tuxedo, in a long and highly structured version.

The garment bears an inner label from Dunhill Tailors New York in Michael Jackson’s name, a detail consistent with a bespoke order. It is accompanied by a letter signed by Frank Cascio, author of ‘My Friend Michael’.
