Han Solo's jacket from 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' is expected to fetch between $661,000 and $1.3 million. It's the first time the famed piece has been for sale. Prop Store
How much cash would you dish out to be the owner of Han Solo's jacket — the same gray jacket Harrison Ford wore in the 1980 classic "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"? What about that signature fedora Harrison Ford wore in "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"?
Both iconic pieces will be on sale as part of Prop Store's Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction of rare film and TV memorabilia on Sept. 20, 2018 in London. Along with those legendary Harrison Ford pieces will also be Tyler Durden's (played by Brad Pitt) robe from "Fight Club" and the farewell letter Rose (Kate Winslet) wrote Cal (Billy Zane) in "Titanic," plus Forrest Gump's (Tom Hanks') weathered Bubba Gump Shrimp Hat and Legolas' (Orlando Bloom's) Lothlorien arrow from "The Lord of the Rings."
