The base jacket is a genuine Lee piece from the 1970s, Made in USA. The Bowie embellishment appears to be added later—likely hand-applied or custom made, referencing the iconic red and blue Aladdin Sane lightning bolt. These kinds of custom pieces were often made in the late ’70s through the ’80s by fans or shop artists, especially in music-forward cities like LA, London, or New York. A one-of-one statement piece.

For collectors, fans, and anyone with a little Ziggy in their soul—this jacket doesn’t just salute Bowie, it wears him loud.
