The Michael Jackson Style Fedora Hat

Michael Jackson fedora hat with which he performed his first moonwalk to Billie Jean, the original hat was sold at auction for 77,640 euros including fees during the sale by Arthur Perault, general director of the Artpèges Gallery Paris. A certain Adam Kelly, whose March 25, 1983 badge proves his presence at Michael Jackson's show, thought the singer's team would come to retrieve it, but no one came to claim it. Adam Kelly kept it for several years then sold it to a collector, this hat later reappeared in a European collection and finally at auction, quite a story!

Michael Jackson's Fur Felt Fedora Hat:

• The top of Michael Jackson's fedora hat features a triangular dent with the point facing forward and the base toward the back.

• A grosgrain ribbon runs around the hat and, on the left side, passes through a loop slightly too small for the band's size, causing it to crease slightly.

• The back of the hat curves upward while the front follows a harmonious curve slightly tilted downward.

• Two dents are located at the top of the headwear
