Jimi’s Jacket, 1967

Music photographer Gered Mankowitz shot press images for Jimi Henrdrix, his bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, in his London studio (Mason’s Yard) in 1967. ‘Jimi’s jacket’, now world-famous, came from a shop on Portobello market called Lord Kitchener’s Valet, which specialised in old uniforms. This portrait was taken just before ‘Hey Joe’—Hendrix’s first single—became a huge hit. This print is book mounted and sits in a beautiful black-stained Ash frame. Total framed dimensions are 58 x 67 x 3.4 cm. Please allow 3-6 weeks for framing and shipping. Other works are available by this artist, to see a wider selection please contact us.
