Black fedora stage-worn by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, during his ''Victory'' tour in 1984. The 55 show tour, which began on 6 July 1984, would gross $75 million in profits (the highest-grossing tour of all-time at that point), and showcased Michael's crystal-encrusted glove, black sequined jacket and moonwalk. Another essential part of Michael's iconic outfit was his black fedora with feather accent. This particular fedora was worn on 17 September 1984 at Montreal Olympic Stadium.

Black felt fedora has traditional crown and pinch with matching black ribbon and signature black, red & yellow feather attached to inside of bow. Sweatband reads in gilt, ''MADE EXPRESSIVELY FOR Michael Jackson / by Maddest Hatter Los Angeles California''. Sewn into the liner tip is an emblem for Maddest Hatter, complete with coat of arms. No size in indicated, but head space measures 8'' x 6.75''. Hat measures 12'' x 11'' x 5''. Lining and interior brim also have makeup and sweat stains from performance. Apart from interior performance stains, hat is in near fine condition. With a detailed LOA from the individual who got the fedora at the concert.
