Michael Jackson‘s clothing are almost as memorable as his dance moves, and collectors will be flocking to an upcoming auction to catch a glimpse of MJ’s famous red leather “Thriller” jacket. As for buying the actual garment worn in the famous music video, that may be tricky as it has an estimated value of $200,000 to $400,000. That sounds like a lot, but last year a collector shelled out $330,000 for a jewel-covered glove Jackson wore on his “Bad” tour, so we’re guessing someone will pay up for the autographed jacket too. After all, what jacket is more memorable or historical? We can’t think of any!
