Footnotes
Ringo wore an identical jacket when he was best man for Harry Nilsson when he married Una O'Keefe in 1976. He is seen wearing it during footage taken at the wedding as seen in the documentary Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everybody Talking About Him? Dougie Hayward, the tailor who made the jacket, was an influential tailor at the time and made clothes for high profile celebrities mainly in the 1970s.
According to the vendor this jacket was purchased from a charity shop in Surbiton during the mid 1990s.
