MICHAEL JACKSON, White V-neck T-shirt from Michael’s personal collection

A white V-neck T-shirt that belonged to Michael Jackson, found in the room he was staying in at the Plaza Athénée in Paris, according to the owner’s account. He was working in the hotel’s technical department at the time. His employment at the Plaza Athénée between 1989 and 2017 is confirmed by a certificate of employment issued by the hotel, which will be handed over to the owner. He states that he retrieved the T-shirt after Michael Jackson’s departure, following his visit to Paris for the concert held in Vincennes in September 1992. The garment is a Jockey Classic model, made of white cotton and manufactured in the United States. Its cut, with a V-neck and short sleeves, is the same style as the T-shirts worn by Michael Jackson during ‘Billie Jean’ on the Dangerous World Tour. In Vincennes, the song was included in the concert programme. This connection is all the more interesting given that the garment shows significant signs of wear. According to its owner, it has never been washed since it was acquired. Large, old sweat stains are still visible under the arms and on the upper body, as well as various signs of wear and soiling. Based on the current state of research, no sufficiently distinctive details have yet enabled a formal photomatching comparison to be made with known images from the Vincennes concert. The date, the T-shirt design, the circumstances of its recovery and its condition are nevertheless consistent with the clothing worn by Michael Jackson during that period, particularly for his performance of ‘Billie Jean’. The owner also kept several items found in the bedroom, including a letter addressed to Michael Jackson. He further states that he collected some hairs from the bathroom, which he has kept separately ever since, and which were found on the T-shirt.
