Jimi’s Jacket

Found in a museum exhibit of psychedelia, this is Jimi Hendrix’ jacket. While there seem to be a number of techniques used in constructing it, much of it seems to be hand-painted silk.

The second I saw it, I was struck with jacket envy.

Judging by the size of the jacket, Jimi was a tiny little dude. I think I always pictured him as eight feet tall.
