Michael Jackson's Jacket to Go on World Tour

The Associated Press (via NME) reports that the jacket was bought last month for £1.1m by Texan commodities broker Milton Verret at Julien's Auction House in Beverley Hills. He now plans to take the jacket around the world in an effort to help raise money for a variety of children's charities.
Verret is hoping to secure a number of corporate sponsors to help with the funding of the tour. The projected revenues raised from the sponsorship will probably come in handy as cleaning bills for leather garments tend to be that little bit more expensive than that of standard dry cleaning.
Given how close children were to Jackson's heart, one can't help feeling that the late singer would have approved of the proposed tour. No dates have been announced for when Jacko's jacket will be in a town near you.

Michael is amazing, a true Angel of so much goodness and love of neighbor.
I totally agree. I hope when Michaels other Iconic clothes and things get auctioned off this guy or someone as charitable gets the most of it and follows in this guys footsteps cuz so much good could come out of it and help so many childrens charities and Michael would be very happy and proud that this is being done with his iconic clothes and things
