An Afghan jacket once owned by Marc Bolan is up for sale by Paul Fraser Collectibles.

The English singer-songwriter, poet and guitarist. He is best known as the frontman of glam rock band T-Rex. Bolan always knew he wanted to be famous, and is equally known for his sense of style. Early in life he briefly joined a modeling agency appearing in a clothing catalogue for the menswear store. He was a model for the suits in their catalogues as well as for cardboard cut-outs to be displayed in shop windows. Town magazine featured him as an early example of the mod movement in a photo spread with two other models.

The three-quarter-length Afghan coat features grey patchwork with a pale fleece lining, with hook and eye fastening to the front.

MARC BOLAN’S AFGHAN COAT

The coat was owned and worn by Marc Bolan, and acquired directly from his Estate by the organiser of the ‘Official Marc Bolan Fan Club’. The Estate enrolled his help in dealing with various items of Marc’s personal effects, including this coat.

The coat has watertight provenance. The Marc Bolan Estate gave it to the head of the Official Marc Bolan Fan Club as a “thank you”. He had helped sort out Bolan’s personal effects following his death in 1977.

Bolan’s memorabilia is increasing in value and becoming increasingly difficult to find, we recently sold a Marc Bolan signed set of typed lyrics for £4,500,$6909.

“A great opportunity to invest in an iconic piece of rock memorabilia at a sensible price,” according to the auction house.
