SHARE THIS

This black velvet jacket was a favourite of John's and he can be seen wearing it in the 1971 film Imagine.

It was originally purchased for John from London boutique Take Six by a promotions man at Apple Tony King.

The jacket came up for auction at the annual Beatles Convention in 2000 and was purchased by Liverpool born actor Jack Marsden.

This jacket has been kindly loaned to the exhibition by Jack, who hopes that it can stay in Liverpool for all the fans of the Beatles.

See this and many other great items of memorabilia only at the Beatles Story, Liverpool.
