Ultra Rare 1987 Tony Alamo Swarovski Crystal Rodeo Jacket
Ultra Rare 1987 Tony Alamo Swarovski Crystal Rodeo Jacket
This Jacket has such an interesting history, it is a staple in fashion history and is owned by everyone from Dolly Parton to Michael Jackson to Nikki Minaj to Mr. T to Conway Twitty to Miley Cyrus to Sonny Bono. It was made by infamous cult leader and clothing designer, Tony Alamo. The Jackets handwashed with pumice stones to give it the acid washed look, the adornment is Swarovski crystals, and the detains are hand painted and airbrushed. The Jacket was sold to me by a lady whose sister acquired it at auction in 1996 for $400 after Tony's arrest for his crimes and the sister got it in 1998 when her sister passed away, and it has hung in her closet in a clothing bag ever since.
The value of these jackets is a wide range from about $700-$2,000, depending on the type of jacket decal style. The lady who sold it to me said she paid a site to look up the last one that sold at auction and it had for $1200 and another one sold on poshmark for $1,000.
