James Brown Owned & Worn Custom Made Tuxedo Shirt. From the personal collection of renowned booking agent and promotional manager Irwin Pate. For over four decades Irwin Pate promoted talent all over the United States and internationally. During his career he and his wife Clarine obtained a large collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers, including James Brown. Irwin worked as James Brown's exclusive booking and promotional manager for 14 years starting in the 1960s, and they also became close friends, until 2006 when Brown passed away. During their long business association and friendship, Irwin acquired several of James Brown's personal clothing articles, including this tuxedo shirt. This shirt remained in the Pate collection for many years - up to the time of this auction. Very good condition. Comes with a letter of provenance from Pate's wife, Clarine Pate, on James Brown Productions letterhead and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
