Johnny Cash / Jimi Hendrix Vest
Johnny Cash / Jimi Hendrix Vest - A high quality custom made blue velour vest with heavy yellow embroidery and jewels. Owned by Johnny Cash and sold by Sotheby's during his estate sale. Johnny's manager, Lou Robin, and his bassist, Marshall Grant, both recall Johnny meeting Jimi Hendrix while on the road and admiring his vest. There is an exact matching vest at the Country Music Hall of Fame in green velour that belonged to Jimi Hendrix. There is another red velour vest that is an exact match that was sold at auction by Christie's and another similar one is on display at a Hard Rock Cafe. It is believed that this vest was given to Johnny as a gift by Hendrix. The vest is also too small to have been worn by Johnny personally. Shows signs of stage wear on interior lining. Includes documentation.
