These well worn, well sweated, well jumped around in on stage pants, during The Rolling Stones European Tour in 1982 just brought over $6000.00 including buyer’s premium in the recent Julien’s auction.
The description was as follows:
A pair of Mick Jagger’s stage worn red, yellow and blue pants designed by Anthony Price. The pants were worn during the Rolling Stones 1982 European Tour. The current owner obtained the pants while backstage at one of the concerts. A drink was spilled on the clothing items and the articles of clothing were given to him. When security cleared the area the the clothing was still in his arms. No size present.
A second pair brought even more money hovering around the $7000.00 range, also including a hefty buyer’s premium of 25%.
The market for stage worn clothing is still incredibly strong even in these tough times.
Collectors view these one-of-a-kind items some of the rarest and most valuable to obtain and buy.
I was tempted to buy one of the pairs, but with two kids in college, and my wife standing behind me watching the auction live online, I figured…..maybe better not.
