Michael formed Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley, who he met when both attended Bushey Meads School in Hertfordshire.
After years of worldwide success the duo split and Michael released his debut solo album, Faith, in 1987.
In the music video for the title track the singer introduced a tougher rock-and-roll image as he played guitar while clad in aviator sunglasses, ripped blue jeans and the leather La Rocka jacket.
In a January 2010 interview with People magazine, Michael said: “The whole ‘Faith’ image was all me. I came up with the leather jacket and everything else. I didn’t use a stylist – I don’t think I could have afforded one!”
The jacket has largely been in storage since the end of the Faith tour, before eventually making its way to Propstore in 2025.
